    1. [BARNETT] Barnett Surname DNA Website Update
    2. Mic Barnette
    3. Hi Everyone: The website has been updated both esthetically and with new information. http://micbarnette.bravepages.com/_barnett_dna_project.html A couple results were reported this week. The two Barneys are unrelated which was a surprise to them. We got some other results this week and the lineages of a couple participants we did not have last week. Be sure to check out the Results and Analysis page. It has the markers for each participant whose results have been returned. In addition on that same page is a link to a page that shows the genetic distance between each of the participants. All the changes made and posted last week on the web evidently were not saved on the hard drive and had to be recreated on the hard drive again this weekend. If you see any mistakes on your lineages, results or anything else let me know about it so I can correct it. Thanks to all who are participants in the test group. And thanks to the others out there who write and share information. If anyone has a Barnett website not listed on our webpage please let me know about it so I can link to it. Mark Barnett has seet up a Forum where Barnett researchers can go and post messages, questions and leave information that can be helpful to other Barnett researchers. The forum is located at http://www.barnettfamilytree.com/forum/ Family Tree DNA has set up a new free website called Y-Search. It is a place anyone who has taken a DNA test can go to post their results no matter which company provided the test. I have posted my results there and I recomend others do the same. Others can do some searches online about various surnames. http://www.ysearch.org/ If you are a male Barnett or know one or are related to one please consider joining or having your friend/realtive join the group. It would be great if we could get people descended from all the various Barnett lines to take the test. For one I would like to see a member of the Bernard family descended from Richard Bernard and Anna Corderoy/Cordray who came to Virginia abou 1642 or so take the test. During the 1970's a Barnett researcher claimed descent from this Bernard family. While it is plausible I have never been able to prove or disprove the lineage. Now that DNA is here the logical way would be to have a descendant take the test. Also there is a family of Barnett Cherokees descended from a Barnard family in Georgia. It would be good to include them in our test. For those of you searching for Barnett ancestors you might use the censuses from 1790 posted o n our Barnett DNA website. While the censuses do not list wives and children of the head of household it does list a Barnett in a given place for a specific time frame. MIC
