Discount time again

A great time to explore suspected relationships  and to validate your paper trails.
FamilytreeDNA have announced their annual sale.

All of the projects listed above right would welcome your participation if you are a direct male line for the surnames concerned, or can find someone who is for the family you want to explore.
We prefer Y-DNA67 tests to explore closeness of relationships, but for initial exploration of matches, Y-DNA37 is a good starting point.


Should you feel left out by this exclusivity, there are other tests that may be of relevance for what you are trying to prove.
Exploring/looking for relations in the closer generations, no more than 6, preferably fewer?
Try Family Finder, for males or females, using autosomal dna inherited, randomly, from all of your direct ancestors - but you wont know which bit came from which one without more tests from known relations.
mtDNA for exploring direct maternal lines, either sex can test, but the slow mutation rates make this of more limited usefulness for determining how closely matches match.

To order any of the new kits, go to your project of choice either by finding the ones above in the DNASurnames index, or by searching within the FamilyTree DNA database.

If aleady a participant, log in and order any of the upgrades shown below.

Tweaks

Remember to check out the Recent changes in case changes aren't listed here.
Those for the FAMILTON related lineages are a few date tweaks.
Those listed for the HENDERSONs are the inclusion of Jean OSWALL of Stirling, the most distant maternal ancestor of Margaret McEWAN, wife of Archibald HENDERSON, a descendant of whom (Margaret's, not Archibald's!) has just had results in for their mtDNA - Hapologroup W.

A few other pages have had small revisions, eg DAWE and RICHARDSON, both being additional links to other pages with more information, particularly for lines not as yet represented in DNA projects, but Wanted!

Also check out the individual project diaries as appropriate (rhs links) for more project specific  activity.
The FAIRBAIRN project now has 52 participants, and the RUNCIMAN one has had a new result in recently.

The general links (bottom rhs of each lineage page), have also had a tidy-up, eg replacing the defunct dnaforums.
