Gareth Henson [email protected] admin of the Y-DNA Haplogroup "T" has invited any of our "T" members to join his project.  If you are interested go to you "myFTDNA" website and click on the blue "Join" button.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "T1".  On the new page click on "T - Y Haplogroup T Project" and then click on the "Join" button.   I believe this will send a message to Gareth and he'll accept you into the project.  If you have a problem send him a message at the address above.   He will probably suggest that one or more of you order the "Y-STR DNA-FP Panel 5 Palindromic Pack".  This set of tests is included in the advanced test which are reached by clicking on "Order Tests & Upgrades" in the left hand column of your "myFTDNA" website.

Charles Kerchner states that haplogroup T is believed to have lived around 17,000 years ago in Northern Italy. Tara's people would have come from the Near East, and her descendents spread all over Europe. Bryan Sykes in his Seven Daughters of Eve book named this mtDNA haplogroup Tara. Good luck!
