I received the following message from FTDNA this morning.  I have always accepted data from other companies into our project and now FTDNA is doing it also.  If you tested with another company or if you now someone who did please pass this on.   PLEASE - read the FAQs using the link in their message.   Dear Project Administrator, We are pleased to announce the launch of a new feature we hope will benefit your projects: Y-DNA "Third Party" uploads. This will allow for the upload of 33 and 46-marker Y-DNA test results from Ancestry, GeneTree and Sorensen's SMGF. This was a natural development since the necessary tools were created to import the DNA Heritage database after they ceased operations. While the DNA Heritage transfer is free of charge as a result of that acquisition, we will be charging a nominal fee of $19 per person to import third party results into Family Tree DNA. This $19 fee will be credited to customers who order upgrades or add-ons. For an additional $39, customers who transfer their third party results will also have additional markers tested so that they can receive matches to Family Tree DNA's 25 or 37-marker level, ancestral origins, and other features of the personal page. Please forward the following link to those who may be interested in ordering the Third Party transfer: http://www.familytreedna.com/landing/ydna-transfer.aspx What do you get when you transfer third party results? The $19 fee will provide the customer with a Family Tree DNA personal page which will allow them to join Family Tree DNA projects freely. This means results will be available to the administrator and included on the project's public page for comparison with other project members. The $58 fee ($19 transfer fee + $39 for the added markers to Family Tree DNA's 25 or 37-marker level) will include the same features provided to Family Tree DNA customers in their personal pages. For any additional questions related to Third Party transfer, please refer to our FAQ section for help. As always, thank you for your continued support.   Thanks.

I just received this message from FTDNA.  If you want to add Family Finder and get a new kit for someone this is the ime to do it.   Dear Project Administrator, Last summer, we offered special pricing to attract new members to your projects.

Y-DNA37 for $119 (Regular price would be $149) Y-DNA67 for $199 (Regular price would be $239) Family Finder for $199 (Regular price would be $289) Family Finder + Y-DNA37 for $318 (Regular price would be $438) Family Finder + mtDNAPlus for $318 (Regular Price would be $438) mtDNA Full Sequence for $219 (Regular Price would be $299) SuperDNA for $418 (Regular Price would be $518, includes Y-DNA67 and mtFullSequence) Comprehensive Genome for $617 (Regular Price would be $797, includes Y-DNA67, mtFullSequence and Family Finder) In addition, existing Family Tree DNA customers may order the Family Finder add-on for $199 The promotion will start today, Friday the 15th at 6PM CST and will end Thursday, July 21, 11:59PM CST.

Hi, Jim I see you've changed my SC-10 to NC-2, probably to go along with Paul Henry Barrett (Kit. 21293). My SC-10 is absolutely correct and I want it to remain that way. We made Paul Henry aware when we were up to see him that his Email and address are not up-to-date with you and suggested he take care of it. I supplied him with data that placed his ancestor in South Carolina (our common ancestor known to date) and he should take care of that with you, too.

In an effort to further refine the lineages in the Barrett families and among R-L21/L513 people overall, it would be very helpful to have everyone test out to 67 Y DNA STR markers. We could have a much better idea of how the families fit together in our giant family/clan tree. Please forward this email to the group to request folks to log in to their FTDNA accounts and order the "Y DNA refine to 67" markers. These upgrades are now on sale at FTDNA but the savings will expire within a couple of days (see savings below.) The Barrrett Group 02 members are also welcome to join the 11-13 project at the link below my name. They fit into Group B-2 in the 11-13 project and are probably L513+. BTW, I'm in that group and there is and old poem about the "Welshmen of Tirawley" where a citation is made to the Walsh's and Barrett's being descended of the "Lords of Glamorgan" (in Wales.) There are also Morgan surnamed people in 11-13 Group B-2.
