Just did some work using ThruLines and found it a big improvement on the old genetic circles. I have put some links up on the Blog for Thrulines also. Below is the Ancestry.com page for ThruLines - https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/AncestryDNA-ThruLines

Welcome Zach - If you have your DNA on FTDNA.com or Ancestry.com it may be possible to help match you to cousins from the larger Sproul (Spreull) family. All males in the family seem to have a distinctive Y chromosome and this is what we are studying at the FTDNA project site. If you have tested and are part of the Sproul FTDNA DNA project I will probably 'see you' in a minute as I am working on some autosomal DNA analysis of participants right now. If you have not tested I am happy to tell you more about that. Folks might be able to point your towards traditional genealogical resources also if you have specific questions. If your family has a connection to Ireland we have the world's top expert on that as part of the team. Feel free to post queries and we will see what we can do!

Hi Greg - Welcome and I do hope you will share your research on the Australian portion of the Sproule diaspora. As it happens I was contacted by someone in Australia who is trying to trace a Sproul ancestor whose passage to Australia was... let us say provided courtesy of HM Government. I have sent her a link to your post.

Thanks Joe - its getting there.
