Hi group! Sorry, I have been lurking lately, not too attentive to active discussion, just way too busy for some reason this summer. Work, kids, what have you. Anyway, time to chime in on a few developments. First, we do actually have about six tests either ordered or in progress and this represents a "next" phase in a push to increase the number of participants in our study and better define some of the results for various groups. In addition, FamilyTreeDNA has created a new option for individuals which allows one to belong to two DNA surname studies at a time. It has only been available for a week, but we have already had one person from another surname study petition to be included in our study based on a 12 marker perfect match. What this means for some of you remains to be seen, but if we start from an operative premise that someone with a different surname but a perfect DNA match might actually related, then this bit of information might be of incredible use to fitting in pieces of the puzzle. I have included the results in the website, as part of Group 1 Queens, test 22029. As you will see, the most distant ancestor is listed as Chauncey Poor, ca 1870, probably Arkansas. However, I am not sure the participant is monitoring the Queen-L list yet. I have encouraged him to subscribe. If his info rings a bell for anyone, let me know and I will arrange an exchange of emails, etc. I have also been in contact with the Quinn group administrator and he recently sent me updated results. I am asking his permission to display certain relevant results on our webpage. These results also will be of interest to those looking beyond America perhaps to European common ancestors. So keep posted on the webpage for updates.
