THE genetic heritage of Wirral people is to be traced by BBC2 with the University College London and the University of Nottingham.

They are looking for 100 men who live in or are from Wirral and are able to trace their father's father to the same area. Volunteers who meet the criteria will be asked to take a mouth swab.

If you are interested in helping the BBC to unlock Wirral's history, please contact Steve Harding on 0115-951-6148, or steve.harding@nottingham.ac.uk
