Traveller DNA Study - Edinburgh Uni
« on: Tuesday 26 October 21 19:46 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

Thought be a good place to share the newly announced study that many are pretty excited about. If you have two grandparents who belong to one of the UK Travellers or Gypsy Community (Scottish Travellers, Irish Travellers, Romanichal or Romany, or Welsh Kale you can be part of it).

It's been conducted at Edinburgh University and aims to look at the genetics, origins, and health of volunteers.  It will compare the various communities and the settled community to look at how they are related (or not) to one another.
