Hi John, After I saw Earl's response to Murray's original message, I responded to Murray off-list. I've asked him to provide me with his results. That way I can go into the administrative page of the Taylor DNA project (Taylor Family Genes at FTDNA) and see if Murray matches with anyone. Hopefully, either by that manner or by having Murray upload his results to Ysearch.org we'll learn of some matches to his results. I'm curious about his results since my Taylors bordered on South Carolina - in Burke and Screven Counties of Georgia. These two counties lie immediately across the Savannah River from South Carolina. The Taylors in my ancestry were there at least soon after the Revolutionary War. ---------- Also, earlier today I was notified by FTDNA that new results were made known for -FOUR- different Taylors. All of those new results were for the -three- upgrade panels covering markers 37 through 67. Unfortunately, nothing -really- new was learned. Two of the individuals maintained their single matches with other Taylors. In both instances (I believe) their Genetic Distance values of 2 at 37 markers increased to a GD of 3 at 67 markers. The other two individuals have no matches amongst the Taylors. We have results for 107 Taylors within the Taylor Family Genes project. There are nine other, additional individuals for whom we are awaiting results. Further, there are the several Taylor DNA testing projects at Relative Genetics. We've cross-checked -some- of the results from those projects against the results from Taylor Family Genes and actually found some matches. As a result, we have six groupings of genetically related Taylors. However, of the 107 sets of testing results that we have - only 19 of our participants fit into those six groups. The six groups vary in numbers of members from two to five. Progress is slow, but it is there... Dale E.
