I've been reading with some interest the renewed comment on the Jefferson/Hemmings DNA controversy. Without commenting either way - not having read the report - I will note that today, April 12, WTOP-AM in Washington is carrying a news item about the release of the report by the group assembled by the descendants which the news characterizes as naming Thomas' younger brother Randolph as the probable source of the DNA in one line. The news story did not cite the source as either a wire story or a radio network story, so that is all I can report on their report.
