    3. Good news! The results are beginning to roll in, and we have the potential for a match among three of our participants. To see the results, go to our webpage at [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/bowlesdna.html]. Since these three participants show a 12/12 match in the first 12 markers, there is a 55.88% likelihood that they share an ancestor within the last 200 years, and a 70.69% likelihood that they share an ancestor in the last 300 years. The percentage improves to 80.53% in 400 years, 87.07% in 500 years, and 91.41% in 600 years. As we begin to see the next batch of results for this group we will be able to see if the common ancestor moves closer to the present. Charlie Hartley Bowles DNA Project Administrator
