[Verginius Rufus]

If you already know the village or district where your ancestors lived, do you learn anything useful from getting this DNA information?

Maybe which conquering army marched through back in the day.

One of the things that I learned is that it is a hell of easier to trace your ancestry if your family lived on Kings land and paid rent to the crown, even small holders.

Another plus is that my family was in the Staple in the Cotswold's and were Business men and Trades men. Oppressors of the poor in modern language.

The main problem was that my last name was very common in Glostershire and East Anglia, once I got all this stuff sorted out it wasn't to bad.
