To: All Bushong researchers, DNA participants and potential DNA testers, There has been much discussion and requests for confidential DNA markers information of the participants in the FTDNA Bushong project. For everyone's information, every participant was assured of confidentiality when we agreed to participate with FTDNA. Already everyone who mismatches by no more than one variation of the Y-12 markers can see the names of those who match themselves. None of the thousands of names in the entire FTDNA Database, including the few Bushong or the many Mitchell names can be seen by anyone who do not match them. I am making a public statement that no one who does not DNA match me has any justifiable reason to have access to my DNA Markers at any time. Because of the FTDNA confidentiality understanding, the rest of the participants do not need to make such a public statement reaffirming their privacy. Anyone who explicitly wants have their DNA results shared publicly needs to advise the project administrator of their decision. I trust that the Bushong DNA project administrators will respect our privacy and everyone else will quit trying to disrespect the privacy granted to us by the FTDNA site. Herb

You are a real pain, Herb..no offense.

Joy Ray, Please. Herb is not a pain. He's a good guy and we should honor the request of those people who actually provided the DNA for the testing and want confidentially. Some are not even on the Internet. To what purpose does one have to know every single detail? I am going to provide 3 to 4 generations back from the grandfather's of the participants and that will have to satisfy everyone. The bottom line is: You are in the haplo group R1a1a and match the Bushongs OR you are in a different haplo group and match another surname's DNA, plain and simple. Blessings.

Herb, If you don't want your DNA marker numbers known publicly I can support that. Though I'm not sure the numbers themselves have much meaning outside the genealogy world. I don't think anybody can determine anything about the person from the numbers assigned to each marker being tested other they match or mismatch someone else in the study. This is a very small result sample of your total DNA and it includes just a few of the Y-chromosome markers. Someone correct me if my statement is not correct. I do think it would be beneficial to those who are doing Bushong research to at least have a some additional information on the lineage lines that have been tested and which ones closely match with each other and which ones do not without giving individual marker numbers. Not everyone can participate in the project even if they wanted too, as you have to be a male descendant with the last name of Bushong.
