Background

GOAL: The purpose of the project is to supplement tradition genealogical research methods through Y Chromosome DNA testing in determining project member’s paternal ancestral line.

Our current members originate from Cornwall, England.

PRICING: Here is the pricing for project members:

Y-DNA37 - 37 marker test for $149 (Non-group price is $169)
Y-DNA67 - 67 marker test for $239 (Non-group price is $268) 
Y-DNA111 - 111 marker test for $339 (Non-group price is $359) 

Whichever you choose now can always be upgraded later for an additional fee as shown below:

Y-DNA12to25 for $49
Y-DNA12to37 for $99
Y-DNA12to67 for $189

Y-DNA25to37 for $49
Y-DNA25to67 for $148

Y-DNA37to67 for $99

RESULTS: The Results Chart is automatically updated by Family Tree DNA computers, except for the Most Distant Ancestor information which you update under USER PREFERENCES on your personal webpage, or you can e-mail the Group Administrator with this information. FAILURE TO PROVIDE YOUR MOST DISTANT ANCESTOR INFORMATION MAY RESULT IN REMOVAL FROM THE PROJECT.

Since the Results Chart has limited room for Most Distant Ancestor information, project members are encouraged to invest in software to create a GEDCOM file which is uploaded on your personal webpage. Software such as Personal Ancestor File can be obtained for free at www.familysearch.org or commercially with products such as Family Tree Maker.

The Results Chart has the capability to offer member subgrouping by color. If you are interested in this, please send the Group Administrator an e-mail. Include in your e-mail which kit numbers you would like to be part of your subgroup.
