We now have 35 men participating in our Y chromosome DNA project to find linkages between family trees through science. With 19 sets of results back, we have found 14 out of the 19 men fall into four family lines (proven related through DNA). The five who do not fall within one of these lines may find themselves in a new family group as new results come in. We get about one new participant per week. We are waiting for 16 sets of results from people who have been tested. It takes 4-5 weeks to get results back from the lab after you return the sample kit. The test is simple and painless -- like brushing your teeth. The Website for the project is: http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/DNAindex.html If you are trying to get beyond a brick wall in your genealogy research and you have a living Jordan male in that line, you can gain great benefits from joining the project. You could give the test to someone as a Christmas gift. Several people have done so this year. We still need documented descendants of the Thomas Jordan family of Virginia (Thomas the Quaker). If you know one, please have him get in touch with me. Have a great set of Holidays! Larry Jordan Webmaster & a Group Administrator Jordan Surname DNA Project

Since all I can view when I visit the site is the eldest Jordan of a line, how can I be sure of which lines are being tested? As an example, I would like to see if any man has tested that descends from the Jordans who ended up in IL. They are my lines, but since I can only see the eldest Jordan of a line, I cannot tell if someone who connects to me has tested or not. As the admin for this group, can you tell me if any man from the IL Jordan's has tested? I know they must supply their lineage when they test. I am involved in a DNA study on another line which a male cousin tested for. I maintain the web site for the results for us. Anyway, I'd like to know if any male from the lines of Thomas and Mary Jordan of IL have tested. Their sons were: Joshua, William, Elias (my line), Thomas, Francis Marion, Joseph, Reuben, and James. Some of them went on to TX. Francis did as did Joseph and James.
