Leicester university has. A DNA department which Turi King is part of.

Im going to contact them to see if any of the students need a thesis project to help with my placed- babies mystery (1906  some newspaper used the term trafficking)

They could also develop ways of helping adoptees and descendants of jewish child survivors of holocaust.
BBC Radio Leicester interviewed me  a few months ago about how traditional genealogy combined with DNA results has helped war babies . holocaust survivers and grandchildren of adoptees identify their roots .

Im collecting success stories for next broadcast ...also need to update radio Shropshire and Bristol on new developments
