I'm considering starting along this line as my husband's gt gt gt grandfather, Robert Saul, doesn't appear to fit any of the known groups of Sauls and I would like to try and find out where the family originates. The only information I have on him is his marriage in Liverpool in 1798 so he could have arrived there from anywhere! He was a tailor and married May Johnson [this becomes Johnston on their only child's death record, said son William having moved up to Annan]. Has anyone done, or looked into, DNA testing? I understand one can assign tests to either a geographic area or a surname, and that there is a Soule group. At the moment "my" lot are always Saul although I realise that may change if I can ever get any further back. As I'm getting a bit swamped and confused with information I thought I'd see if anyone else has done, or thought of doing this testing for Saul.
