23 MAY 2018 — As many of you are likely aware, Terry and Marilyn Barton have been acting administrators for the Teasley DNA Project via their large collective alliance, WorldFamilies.net. Due to the European Union's new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation; www.eugdpr.org) effective 25 May 2018 and the requirements and constraints it brings, Terry and Marilyn have decided to retire and cease operating WorldFamilies.net and the over 700 DNA projects hosted and administered there.

Today, webspace for the Teasley DNA Project has transitioned to the Family Tree DNA servers and the application called myGroups. No previous data has been lost, but there will undoubtedly be some sawdust flying about for the next few days...and we can't rule out a minor challenge or two as everything becomes operable.

Teasley is in my direct lineage, and I look forward to serving as your new project administrator. Please join me in thanking Terry and Marilyn Barton for running WorldFamilies.net for 14 years, and wishing them all the best in their retirement.
