There is a list of Guild DNA Project websites here but it is very out of date: http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/members/dna-database.cgi This list was autogenerated when a member filled out the DNA section on the old profile pages but I presume with the transition to the new website the list is no longer being updated. However, the list was never a very good measure of the number of DNA projects because not every Guild member has a profile page (though I've never understood why all Guild members aren't taking advantage of this facility!). Also, even if a member had a profile page they didn't always fill in the DNA section. There are supposedly around 500 Guild members with DNA projects and it would be very useful to have a list of all the surnames that are represented. I don't wish to burden Nigel and Anne with any extra work but I would have thought in the long run it should be possible to autogenerate a list from the Guild Register. There is a code (D) that members can use to specify that they have an associated DNA Project, and I presume it would be possible to produce a list of all Guild members with study code D against their names. It would also be very useful if a list could be generated for all the other study codes as well. This is probably something that could be considered when the migration to the new website has been completed. I did suggest a while back that it would be useful to have a tagging/labelling system for categorisation of different aspects of our one-name studies. See my post on the suggestion board: http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/members/suggestionboard.cgi?action=ShowSugge stion&sg_Id=171 I use a labelling system all the time on my blog and I wondered if this is something that could perhaps be implemented for our profiles. Anyone with a DNA project could, for example, add a DNA tag to their profile and you could then click on the tag and see all the other members with DNA projects. Best wishes Debbie

The website for the Blake DNA study is incorrect. How does one go about changing it? It is correct in my profile. Thank you.

Elizabeth You can update your study details here: http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/user-maintenance/studypropsfrontpage.cgi Debbie >The website for the Blake DNA study is incorrect. How does one go about changing it? It is correct in my profile. Thank you. Elizabeth (Blake) Kipp BA PLCGS

Debbie, I am sure that Anne or Nigel will confirm one way or the other but I believe the DNA listing is currently being maintained. The highest membership number of the 320 listed is 6782 and this is, I believe, a new February 2015 member. Welcome to Andrew and congratulations on getting your profile page completed so quickly. It would be nice if all members had a profile page but this is a personal choice. Whilst we have that situation I am not personally in favour of a listing generated from the study code. The choice should IMHO remain with the member to have a profile page and for them to specify DNA there, if they wish contact. regards Gerald -----Original Message----- From: goons-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:goons-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Debbie Kennett via Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2015 12:42 PM To: goons@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [G] News for those with a DNA Project There is a list of Guild DNA Project websites here but it is very out of date: http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/members/dna-database.cgi This list was autogenerated when a member filled out the DNA section on the old profile pages but I presume with the transition to the new website the list is no longer being updated.

The DNA listing is indeed still being maintained but it's not dependent on the Profile page. What it uses is the member's study details - see the Members Room Self-Service tab - Your study details - Describing your study. http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/user-maintenance/studypropsfrontpage.cgi This lists all your study characteristics, including whether your study has a DNA component and a DNA website. I could add that it's one of the "study principles" that study registrants accept, that they should keep their study details up to date!
