I've been contacted by Lisa Yeary who represents a male for Harris Group 4 in the Harris Surname DNA Project. She would like to see some others in Group 4 upgrade their kits from 67 to 111 markers in order to better see any connections. She has been in contact with Max Blankfield of Family Tree DNA. If we can get at least 3 people to follow up on getting the 111-marker test, then the discount will be reduced from $129 to $99 for the upgrade. This would only apply to an upgrade from 67 markers to 111. Here is a copy of the correspondence: ___________________________ From: Max Blankfeld [mailto:max@ftdna.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 11:52 AM To: yeary Subject: Re: surname projects Lisa, If we have a minimum of 3 we can make it $99 Max BlankfeldVice-President, Operations and Marketinghttp://www.FamilyTreeDNA.com"History Unearthed Daily"max@familytreedna.com713-868-1438 ___________________________ You would need to contact FTDNA by phone to get this special discount and make reference to this e-mail message from Max Blankfield. Even if you are not part of Group 4, if you are part of the Harris Surname DNA Project, and decide to do this before the end of this week, you should still be able to obtain this discount of $99 for the upgrade from 67 to 111 markers. And please let me know if you decide to do this so that we can make sure we have the minimum number to participate. Sincerely, Glenn Gohrarchives_guy@hotmail.com
