Sue, I'm hoping to answer YES to that question in the future. Right now the system will only allow me to input FTDNA test info. I am thinking of eventually using Worldfamilies to input my data. The project will still use FTDNA as its testing company, but I will be able to input results from all other testing companies. I will definitely post to this List and other Quaker related lists when and if I switch over to using the Worlfamilies site instead of the FTDNA site. The FTDNA site would still exist for viewing, but there would be the additional site with results from other companies. Susan Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 10:35:50 -0400 From: "Wyatt, Susan D."

Go to the link for familytreedna.com below and plug in your surname to see if a surname project already exists. Or do a bit of googling to see if there's already a project underway with another company. If not, join the BritishQuakers project below to get the project discount rates and support from like-minded researchers. https://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=N55947&special=true FamilyTreeDNA.com is also having a special rate reduction through the end of September. It may possibly be extended, since the head office (not the labs) is in Houston, but I wouldn't count on it. The best kit to order is the Y-DNA 37 marker kit for your oldest generation living (of course!) male who bears the targeted surname. You can see the rates by going to the link for BritishQuakers above, scroll down into the application section of the page and look at the TYPE OF TEST menu.

Hi Susan, I'm afraid all my Quaker lines are on my dad's side, but I think I have them all in the British Quakers which probably isn't too meaningful. I have seven exact matches at HVR1 and HVR2. People always contact me when they see the match, but of course our maternal lines are all over Europe. Good luck with your FGS!

I have had the FGS (full genome sequence) of my uncle's mtDNA done (which should match mine; I'm still waiting for my results), and he matches one other man's mtDNA exactly. FTDNA says this is roughly equal to a 37/37 Y-DNA match and we should be able to find our common ancestor. We DON'T have common mutations for this haplogroup. The other man and I have been in correspondence, and we are both stuck in our research around the same time/same place....so probably we connect within a generation or two in there someplace....we just need more research to find our link. However, I would say until many more people do the complete FGS for their mtDNA, it is useless for genealogical purposes. However, like you, I find it fascinating to know more about my ancient ancestors from this test. By the way, if your direct MATERNAL line is Quaker, you are also welcome to join the British Quaker project.

Ancestry.com web support for DNA is very poor for administrators and users in my opinion. I've been pulling my hair out trying to round up stragglers who tested through them not knowing about the "big" Gilbert DNA project. In my opinion, if you're a male, the best bang for the buck right now is the 37 marker test from Family Tree DNA that's discounted through the end of the month. A man's Y-DNA is ONLY applicable to a surname project for his last name (in theory), so you'd want to go to the Family Tree DNA website and see if there's a surname project running for the surname. If there's no project, that complicates things a little, but there are ways around it. If anyone wants to have a Y-DNA test performed on themselves or a male in the family, I'll be happy to help you through the process, including letting you test through the Gilbert project to get the project discount if no surname project exists for your surname. Feel free to contact me offline. Jane Gilbert Admin of three Y-DNA projects...

Anne, I will add the surname DODD to the BritishQuakers project list. Would you be able to have at least one of the Dodd men join my project?

First you have to decide which DNA testing company you want to use!! I've always used FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA) so that's all I know about. With them, first see if they have a project set up for your surname. If they do, order your kit through the project, and you'll get their best price. If there is not a surname project, you can order a kit anyway, but it will cost more. IF YOUR DIRECT MATERNAL OR PATERNAL LINE WAS QUAKER, YOU CAN GO TO THIS PAGE TO ORDER YOUR TEST, AND GET THE BEST FTDNA PRICE (AND A SPECIAL PRICE GOING ON THRU SEPT 30): https://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=N55947&special=true To look up your surname, go to: http://www.familytreedna.com/default.aspx? I'm sure others will tell you about the other testing companies. I administer the BritishQuaker DNA project, by the way, so feel free to contact me offlist with questions. If you've traced your family back to the South Carolina Quakers, but are not sure if they came from the British Isles or not, you can still join the project, and I will add your results under "British Colonies". That applies to any State that was a British Colony!!! Susan

Maybe we should limit our general DNA discussions to correspondence between those who are interested? Let's have one more day (Wedsn, Sept 24) of general DNA discussion on the Bush River list. Thanks so much, JudyR

That way, instead of searching Ysearch (which I also like, by the way) and FTDNA's site by each of the surnames you are interested in, you can just go to the British Quakers DNA site. Of course, it is a relatively new project, so it will take time to add more names. But be sure and check it out! And more importantly, if you contact someone from one of the surname projects, please tell them to add themselves to the British Quaker DNA site (free to add yourself if you've already taken the test with FTDNA). As long as they've traced their Quaker line back to Colonial America or anywhere in the British Isles, they can join up. I also welcome Quaker surnames to add to the project list.
