Australians may be known for having a convict past but almost a quarter claim descent from English aristocracy or a famous historical figure.  Click here to read an article in an online Australian newspaper.  We now have three Australians in our DNA project; one in Group 4, one in Group 28, and one in R1b Singletons.  We also have two Kiwis; one in Group 46 and one in R1b Singletons.  Hopefully these numbers will double or triple in 2010!
