Tom Jones has decided it’s time to get DNA tested for possible black ancestry. The following teaser is from the November 2, 2015 edition of the CBS News website.
At 75 years old, Tom Jones wants to do something quite unusual. The singer wants to get a DNA test to find out if he has any black ancestry.
The “What’s New Pussycat” singer, who is from South Wales, said that he’s always wondered if he is of mixed race, part because of his curly hair and tan skin.
I have read that Wales and Cornwall had an early influence in their heritage from the sailors from Portugal who had a background of mixed blood from Africa. I think that DNA is a great resource for genealogy. I attended a seminar this weekend in which a national expert advised using at least three different commercial companies for the DNA testing, as you might get three slightly different results. All would be useful to you in your search for heritage. Good luck. A ardent fan
