Lineage info on each of the group members may be found at: http://www.wexonline.net/edge/lineages.htm
The Y-search function is very interesting as it connects one with members from other test groups around the world. As more folks join these groups, there will be a greater possibility of connecting to them. It should make it easier to find cousins we have never heard of. Sharing our stories and research should enable us to create an appropriate paper trail. Please, be sure to upload your info to Y-Search and to upload a small tree, as well.
Our recent offer to fund tests was so successful, that before I could publicly close the offer, I had to turn down one person for lack of funds. Perhaps we will be able to make the tests available at reduced rates in future. (IF we can get more funding.)
We need participants from Canada, the Quaker line, and the Virginia line.
If it is possible to do so, please go for the 25 marker kit ($148) it will be more useful, but the 12 marker one ($99) will be sufficient and can be upgraded later if one wishes!
If you cannot donate DNA but would like to help, please let us know.
You may find it interesting to join the National Geographic study group. They make some very interesting comments about one's DNA results once they have your report. Your personal page will give you a link to them or you may go directly to their page: https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/
There is an intersting group studing DNA projects - International Society of Genetic Genealogy. They have some really good resources for understanding DNA and its usage in tracing your roots.
