Donar of Wanlass DNA Dies

Irvin Doyle Wanlass, a direct male-to-male descendant of James Wanlass (1825 - 1895), died July 22, 2010 at age 79. He was intensely interested in solving the James Wanlass mystery. He donated the DNA which proved a genetic link to a group of Wanlesses in Scotland. He used to make phone calls about every month to check on research progress. We miss getting those phone calls. jws
