[BBC] DNA mapping has shed light on a
260-year-old mystery of the origins of a child shipwrecked on Anglesey, who
helped shape medical history.
The boy of seven or eight, who could not speak English or Welsh, washed up on the north Wales coast with his brother between 1743 and 1745. Named Evan Thomas, he was adopted by a doctor and went on to show bone setting skills never seen before in the UK.
