CAN YOU HELP?

A University of Edinburgh project is appealing for individuals with at least two Traveller grandparents to take part in DNA testing. Traveller Genes ( www.ed.ac.uk/travellergenes), which is supported by the Traveller community, aims to understand how Scottish Travellers are related to other communities, and their overall patterns of health. However, individuals with Traveller grandparents from anywhere in the UK and Ireland are eligible to take part. This includes Scottish Travellers, Irish Travellers, Romanichal or Romany, and Welsh Kale. You will be required to answer a questionnaire about your ancestry and health, and submit a saliva sample. To find out more, call 0131 651 8557 or email travellergenes@ed.ac.uk.
