Carolynn... Sorry, but the test subject for purposes of our DNA Study MUST be a male Strong (or variant spelling).... you cannot transfer in data from a Strickland or other surname and achieve anything meaningful. The only place where it might be useful to test someone having a different surname is where there is a possibility they were adopted out of the Strong surname into another surname, and you are trying to verify that. Or something similar, where there is a question of true lineage.

My dad just did one for our Strickland line. Would he have to do it again for the Strong line? Thanks for your time, Carolynn > "David B.

However, it is a bit premature as we do not yet have much by way of test results from Family Tree DNA. While we do have preliminary 12-marker test results for four members, we are still awaiting completion of the additional results required to bring their results up to the 25 marker test results ordered. Further, since the lab at the University of Arizona was closed for a period during the holidays, we expect additional delays in receiving results. However, there are several test samples which have been forwarded to the lab by FTDNA and we are making some progress in getting the study group to the size where we will be able to compare the results when recieved. We continue to need additional volunteers for the study! > > We have 17 members who have completed sign up and ordered the test kits. Not all have actually sent their samples in for testing. Additionally, we have 1 member who has completed sign up, but who has apparently not yet ordered the test kit; 1 who has signed up, but not submitted releases or pedigrees; and 1 committed but no paperwork as yet.

When I return, I hope to make further progress on the "status and results" webpage and will report further. In the meantime, we continue to welcome volunteers for the study.
