Scientists reported today the possibility of greater genetic diversity in Fenland than had previously been believed to exist.
DNA evidence found at a crime scene in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, belonged to a Caucasian sub-group normally found only in Essex.
The discovery comes at the same time as the discovery of a hitherto unknown surname on a headstone in a derelict churchyard near March, Cambridgeshire. Local genealogists were reportedly unaware of a fourth family group in the area.
