Pamunkey Descendants and Research Group.
The following information for Forensic Historians, Genealogists, and Ancestry Research buffs was extracted directly from the Ancestry Projects Page on GEDmatch.com. Kristi Lami is a confirmed DNA member of the group. Kristi Lami is the host of “Are You Related to Morgan Plantagenet?” located in the same free section of their Global Intelligence based Ancestry Platform. Please contact them directly for information about joining. We can only answer questions about our own group. The hosts of their program will have to assist you with any ancestral verifications of your own DNA. If you do match their terms for inclusion, we recommend that you add your own GED kit match number for inclusion in the Ancestry Preservation Project helping to solve cold cases in health and for the medical welfare of all.
