> Catching up on my emails I read this. Whilst I do not have any information on the Albury one of the 1820 settler ships has been transcribed for the shipslist, the Weymouth. (ADM37/6145 MUSTER ROLL OF HMS WEYMOUTH DECEMBER 1819 Public Record Office, Kew, London ) and it appears that the muster rolls of the other ships are also kept there. It was interesting

Perhaps if someone has access to the Public Records Office in London they could answer your question. Surnames include TROLIP, FARLEY, HAYMAN, McDONALD, HAYWARD. It

> Now that scientists are able to unravel the secrets of DNA, some interesting discoveries have been made.
> An international team of geneticists recently found a particular family similarity in thousands of people whose DNA they tested.
> After much research and testing (and this is not an April 1 story), they have concluded that one in every 200 men alive toady is descended from the Mongol warrior and tyrant Genghis Khan.
> Khan lived between 1162 and 1227 and had many wives. Whenever he won a battle he selected the most attractive women from his conquered for himself, adding them to his harem.
> Apparently within a century of his death there were already 20 000 people directly descended from hi.
