We have the Jarvis project's first match, kits 126243 (John F Jarvis, the project administrator) and 129395. The group name indicates the Most Recent Common Ancestor is John Steven Jarvis, b. ? in Dartmouth, Devonshire, England and d. 1836 in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada.

This is a real success story and demonstrates the utility of the Y DNA testing for confirming common ancestry when the paper trail grows faint.
