Hi Everyone: Just a note to let everyone know the DNA website at http://micbarnette.bravepages.com has been updated. Just click on the DNA link. There has been some surprising new results. We have a several new groups unrelated to one another. In the past we would have assumed they were somehow related but the DNA is telling us they are not. On the other hand other lines are showing they are related. So the project is being quite informative. Be sure to read the results page. There are links to Associated Surnames and Associated Places for each participant. There is also a Genetic Distance Page which shows the distance in genetic markers of one participant to another. For each participant there is a page showing that person's lineage. Each of these pages are intended to be helpful to anyone conducting Barnett research. Mark Barnett has set up a Barnett Forum where anyone can go and ask or comment on anything Barnett. That website is at http://www.barnettfamilytree.com/forum/ If you are a male Barnett please consider joining our test group. If you are a female Barnett or related to a Barnett try to find someone in your family who is a male still carrying the surname and have them test. You might consider getting some of your relatives together and sponsor someone of your line to take the test. The test is fairly expensive. It costs $99 for a 12 marker test, $171 for a 25 marker test and $239 for a 37 marker test. By joining with several others of your own lineage each of you could chip in and try to find someone who can take the test and pay for it so that participant does not have to front the money. By sponsoring your own person you would be assured of when you could get results rather than wait for someone to come out of the wood work. I sponsored my Finch cousin in the Finch test and we have several women in our group who sponsored their father, brother or other relative. One member upgraded from 12 makers to 37. His 12 marker results and his 26-37 came in but not his 13-25. I guess they are still coming. Evidently they are all separate test and the results get report individually. A couple others have ordered the upgrade. those results should come in soon. If you are in a group of other participants you might consider the 37 marker test to see how close you are related to the others. If you have not matched others it may not be as important to you at this time as it just compares the closeness of one person to another. I have tried to list participants in numerical order by the number of their kit. Since that is the way FTDNA does most of their lists I found it is best to use that methodology but it gets tricky when trying to update data. Let me know if you find any discrepencies. The website needs to be as accurate as possible. It takes a lot of time effort and concentration to work the website. More so on this website than on other websites as we have so many diffent participants and the results mean so much and are very intricut in how they are listed. So, enjoy! MIC
