This research investigates the genetic origins of the Marsh Arabs of Iraq, believed to have strong ties to the ancient Sumerians. By analyzing Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA from 143 Marsh Arabs and comparing them to a larger Iraqi control group, the study reveals a predominantly Middle Eastern genetic heritage with minor contributions from Southwest Asia and Africa. Notably, a specific Y-chromosome lineage (J1-Page08) shows expansion concurrent with the Sumerian period, suggesting a potential genetic link. While the introduction of water buffalo farming appears to have had limited impact on the gene pool, the findings support the hypothesis that the Sumerians were likely autochthonous to the region, rather than originating from India or South Asia.

This FamilySearch catalog entry details the book Wrens of Virginia, 1652-1832, a genealogical history by John Howard Wren published in 1993. The book, available in both book and microfilm formats, traces the lineage of Nicholas Wren (ca.1631-1701), an early Virginia immigrant, and his descendants—who spread to North Carolina, Kentucky, and Ohio—and includes information on related families like Arnold, Bell, and Spillman. It is held by the FamilySearch Library and is also available on microfilm, with potential digital access subject to certain restrictions.
