In memoriam Vera (Catherine Veronica) Green nee Fitz-Henry 1935-2011

Clarinda Sheehan (nee Fitz-Henry) from Dublin, an old friend of the Blog, has written to tell us of the death of her sister Vera on the 24th December 2011.
Clarinda and Vera are from the line of Samuel Fitz-Henry and Mary Ann Banks, and his son Robert Fitz-Henry and Catherine Laird (Family Group 75). This old Irish Methodist family now has branches in England, South Africa and Australia. 
Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

FamilyTreeDNA - reduced prices on testing kits until 7 January

I've just had word through from FamilyTreeDNA that they are continuing to hold their prices at the "Christmas Special" level until January 7th 2012.
This is US$119 for the 37 marker test (usually US$149), and US$ 199 for the 67 marker test (usually US$238)

As project co-ordinator, I have ordered some 37 marker tests at this price to have on standby. So if you, or a Fitzhenry/Fitz-Henry male relative decides to take the test in the future (out of the price reduction period), contact me first before ordering as I may still have a reduced price kit left.
