An exciting new avenue of research is opening. Advances in genetic techology have made it possible to persue a DNA Study which promises to help resolve whether the lineages discussed in this chapter are indeed related. The DNA Study will show whether the lineages have a "Most Recent Common Ancestor" and predict how many generations back from the test subjects the MRCA occured. Take a look at the LeStrange-Strange-Strang-Stronge-Strong DNA Study , and consider joining the project. Help resolve the puzzle whether the various lineages discussed in this chapter are related, and if so, the degree to which they are related!
