Greetings all, A brief overview of the Queen DNA project reveals that Queens have been separated into some distinct and confirmed groupings. This has certainly been beneficial in sorting out Queens and reducing the scope of research of various lineages. In addition, many Queens can now say with a very comfortable degree of certainty that "we" descend from old William or Charles or Francis Queen. The "19's" on 520 in the group can apparently state with a comfortable degree of certainty that "we" descend from old William and that there was a son or grandson of his that had a 19 on 520 and that "we" descend from that son or grandson. Thus, it seems to me that the project has been helpful to all Queens. Perhaps the greatest disappointment with the project is that the additional 30 markers provided little assistance to the majority of our group. Sub-groups (the 19's and the 20's) were created; but that appears to be about it. Hopefully, in the years to come, additional and more meaningful markers will be made available by the lab and testing company. If I'm still around, I will upgrade select samples. If I'm not around, then project leaders have my permission to upgrade any samples I have sponsored. But, do we stop now? Is it over? Is this all that we can do, or wish to do, regarding YDNA? There are still a half-dozen or so samples in the pipeline. So, we're certainly not ready to close the books just yet. But, the question remains, where do we go from here? Gene
