    1. Re: [G] Which DNA test?
    2. Corinne Curtis via
    3. Maureen, remember that the 37 marker Y-DNA test kits are available through GOONS salesroom at £80,which is a good discount and cheaper even the current familytreeDNA sale prices. It seems to be the best value kit at the moment and a good starting point.

The 37-marker test is probably the minimal really useful one. If your Waycott line belongs to a common y-chromosome haplogroup (very likely by definition), you would want to have more markers to help narrow your match list. Which test is the "right" test also depends somewhat on your budget -- if your funds are limited, you can purchase one of the cheaper tests now, then upgrade to more markers at a later date. > > -Mark Bunch (GOONS #6223) > Othello, Washington, USA > > > > >> Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 11:35:59 +0000 >> To: GOONS@rootsweb.com >> Subject: [G] Which DNA test? >> From: goons@rootsweb.com >> >> I am considering buying a Y-DNA test in the familytreeDNA sale.

    3. For those of you with the possibility of German connections in your study, http://www.ortsfamilienbuecher.de/ is a virtual goldmine. It has a collection of of 'Local Heritage Books' put together by transcribers (much like some Guild members transcribe parishes for a local society) for a huge number of German localities and then published online. First you search for the place name and then choose the surname - what you get are, effectively, nested Family Group sheets that have been assembled from the local church and civil records. Families can be followed for hundreds of years. Marie (GOONS 5318) Bringing the world together one surname at a time.

    2. Nigel Osborne via
    3. Norman Not sure what you wanted to put in the "County / State" part. You entered "West Lothian & Central Scotland. Scarborough". I'm not sure how that fits with any Guild policy, but from a logical perspective it doesn't seem to fit the description "County / State". The display is different problem. As you say, that cuts off at "West Lothian & Central Scotlan" (30 characters). That's because the expectation designed into the system was somewhat less than you have entered. There are similar restrictions on the other fields: Surname (25 char) Country (30 char) Period (20 char) I will check with the Guild committee to see if these restrictions are a policy issue, or just one of the things my predecessor set  (or failed to set) himself.

The original paper, cited by Rennison Vayro, isn't quite so surprising. Assortative mating, the result of which is what appears to have been observed here, is nothing new. Is it really a great revelation that it's been going on for centuries? People with similar backgrounds tend to marry each other. The social status of families is therefore maintained, to a greater extent than if people married at random. Peter Alefounder.

Norman Even if you haven't registered a one-name study with the Guild you can still register your surname interests. Log into the Members' Room, click on Members/Register a Surname Interest, and then fill in your details. Whenever someone searches for your surnames in the Guild register from the home page of the website your entry will show up. To see how it works type in Faithfull in the search box and you can see one of my entries. See the article by the Registrar on page 26 of the October-December 2013 issue of JOONS which explains how the scheme works: http://one-name.org/journals/volume-11/vol11-08/ If you're interested in all things Thornton perhaps you should be registering the Thornton surname with the Guild. Every one-name study has to start somewhere so it doesn't matter if you haven't yet done, say, Australia or America. The only requirement when you register a surname is that you must answer all enquiries. If you register the Thornton surname with the Guild you can then create your own profile page - a web page devoted to your Thornton study. You can list on your profile page all the material that you've collected so that people know what to expect when writing to you. If you like, you can include on your profile page some information about your other research interests. For example, I have a short paragraph on my profile which lists all the other surnames that I'm researching. The profile pages show up highly in search engine results and I've sometimes had enquiries for these other surnames through the Guild.

    3. Hi One-Namers Everywhere A colleague of mine in the United States tells me Family Tree DNA is having a sale that goes through 31 December. All orders must be placed by 11:59 pm Central Standard Time, 31 December. The sale includes Y-DNA tests (37, 67 and 111 markers of which I >recommend 67 markers). It also includes Y-DNA upgrades from 12 markers >to 37, 67, and 111 markers; from 25 markers to 37, 67, and 111 markers; from 37 markers to 67 and 111 markers; and from 67 to 111 markers. If you have tested less than 67 markers, I recommend upgrading to 67 markers. In some cases, an upgrade to 111 markers can give more needed information. One example is those who are in the Niall of the Nine Hostages group (Haplogroup R-M222). Also in the sale is their autosomal DNA test (Family Finder) and their mtDNA Full Sequence test. Finally, on sale is an upgrade from mtDNA+ to mtDNA Full Sequence. Can anyone explain this for the simple-minded John P Laws LAWS FAMILY REGISTER

Another thing I've noticed more than once is that if a search produces nothing one day, repeating the search a day or two later may give something useful, as if the first search had primed it to look for that thing. This may well be exactly what happens! Also - if you want something obscure, search the books as well as the web. Peter Alefounder.
