I am late joining this thread but have only just discovered it. I see that the thread is dated with the month, day and time but curiously no year! And so I do not know how old it may be.
My RAINES ancestors lived in and around Kettering, Northamptonshire and I extensive records of my lot. I am now researching the Reynes of Cyfton Reynes & Buckinghamshire.
Several years ago, to aid my research, I established the RAINES Families of Great Britain DNA Project. One of the earliest successes of the project was that we were able to scientifically confirm a genetic relation between the RAINES of Northamptonshire and the RAINE of Yorkshire. I even met up with with one of my distant RAINE cousins (we shared the same ancestor 400 years ago) and we were shocked to see that we looked like one another!
I would particularly like to communicate with SKIDA if he is still online.
