About us
NEWS as it concerns our Y-DNA, Autosomal, Facebook, www.Jones-DNA.org, and WikiTree one name study initiatives:
Jan 2016
- We retooled the About pages on our FTDNA pages.
- We setup our own project web site, www.Jones-DNA.org, and a pedigree browser feature.
- We started collecting/publishing member pedigrees. As of Jan 27, we have 25 already.
Dec 2015
- End of year summary:
(1) We currently have over 600 members in our Y-DNA group.
(2) We currently have 25 members in our new Autosomal group.
(3) We currently have 171 members in our new FB group.
- Notice:
People who have tested with Ancestry, GeneTree or Sorensen's SMGF are allowed to join FamilyTreeDNA for a small nominal fee. Their DNA results can be uploaded. For another small fee, other alleles will be tested to give the new members full access to the Group. The $19 will provide a Personal Page but they will not have full benefits as members do. Please spread the news.
- We sent out emails to all Y-DNA members who don't have a Y-37 STR tests as a minimum. We ideally need at least that test to establish their family grouping.
- We set up a new Autosomal Jones FTDNA group:
https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/jones-autosomal-group/about/background
- We sent out an email blast to Jones named FTDNA members telling them about our 2 FTDNA groups
- We have been running strong collaboration programs within our FB group helping people know about holiday coupons and other promotions.
