Hi list, Happy New Year to everyone. I have finally set up our Y-DNA project. It also covers any variant of the name. http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Jamieson_Y-DNA_Project/#surnames I believe this is an excellent way to help repair those family trees that always seem to have the odd broken branch. The one where you suspect 2 individuals are brothers but you can't find the documentary proof. Y-DNA comparison might provide the answer. Whats required? Just request a test kit. It contains a couple of cotton swabs that are simply rubbed around the inside of the mouth to collect the necessry DNA. Then place the swabs into the protective container and post it back to the laboratory. It's that simple. The all important question of cost. It can be split between interested groups. You may want to compare tests to prove a connection between Jamieson lines. The other family line is detered by the cost. So is there enough interest from your group to contemplate helping out with the costs? If you have any questions then please email me. Regards George
