This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5gC.2ACE/751 Message Board Post: I have just posted the results we have so far: www.bradfordgenealogy.org This is really interesting. Out of our 5 results there are 3 distinct 'family groups' so the need for more paricipants is very evident. At the same time it has given several researchers a direction in which to concentrate, eliminating the need to research every Bradford family that immigrated to America. (Many of which lived & stayed in South Carolina.) An example of related Bradford interest: KIT 20963 who doesn't match anyone in the project, (to this point), exhibits the haplotype R1b, who evidently immigrated to the British Isles earlier than the Celtic Language and is the most common haplotype in western Europe. [See discussion on the DNA-L Rootsweb list.] He also has over 100 exact matches at 12/12 in the database for REO (Recent Ethnic Origin) whereas the three related participants in our project only have 5 matches in the same database. Our other non-match, kit 20873, has 20. The I haplogroup of these last four is described as probably Viking/Scandanavian. Interesting. Many more benefits than appear on the surface. Regards, Becky
