Hi Fay,
Please forgive the interruption, but you corresponded with my late father,
Dick Clarke, in years past. I am interested in learning more about DNA

I'm also interrupting. I have Clarke cousins who are in the Clarke Y-DNA project at my urging. We are trying to sort out some Clarke families that lived near one another in Ireland and we seem to have 3 distinct lines. Family gossip is that one of them (my branch) stems from a son of Oliver Cromwell who changed his name to John Clarke.
If you have any specific questions I may be able to help? Or alternatively, Wikipedia has good info. Also the various testing companies have websites. We use FamilyTree DNA:
