The BLAIR DNA Project continues to go very well. 61 test results have been received and posted on the website at http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/results.html The status through October 26, 2003: No. of Participants: 63 (25-Marker = 55, 12-Marker = 8) No. of DNA sample received and processed by FT-DNA: 61 No. of 12-Marker Test Results: 8 No. of 25-Marker Test Results: 53 Of the 61 test results received, 41 have been grouped together into 7 groups. Group 1 (Blair of Blair descendants) consists of 20 participants. This group appears to share a common ancestor with the only known descendant of the original Blair of Blair. For details on this group see http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/group1.html Groups 2 consists of 4 participants. See http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/group2.html. One of the participants has only tested 12 markers and is also shown in group 5. Group 3 now has 6 participants. This group consists of participants who all have a value of 26 on marker 2, a value that is very rare. See http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/group3.html. Group 4 has 2 participants that match 12 for 12 and share an already known common ancestor. See http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/group4.html Group 5 consists of 5 participants. This is a rather loose group which may or may not be related. See http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/group5.html. One of the participants has only tested 12 markers and is also shown in group 2. Group 6 is 4 participants. Two participants match 25 for 25 while the other two participants mismatch on two markers. See http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/group6.html Group 7 consists of 4 participants. Two of these participants are also shown in group 3. See http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/group3.html.
