Dale, et al; I have taken two Taylor DNA tests one from Relative Genetics (25 markers) found one cousin Jeb Taylor. and Family Tree (12 markers) found a list of close matches but none were Taylor surnames. I haven't contacted any of them yet. Earl H Taylor eht2060@keyway.net (909) 593 2652 yahoo IM eht2060 AOL IM eht2060 http://www.keyway.net/~eht2060/ -----Original Message----- From: Dale E.

Hi Folks, As some of you may be aware, there is an ever-growing effort to sort out, separate, or bring together genetically homogeneous lineages within particular surnames. Such efforts are now underway for the Taylors. Here are the URLs for the several Taylor DNA projects. Some individuals are also members of regional DNA projects. Such an example can be found in the "Wiregrass Georgia" project. At present, the Taylor Family Genes project at FTDNA has results in on 82 members. I believe we are awaiting results on three newer members. As a co-administrator for that project, I've only been assisting individual Taylor researchers with uploading new results to Ysearch.org and then running comparative analyses of their Y-STR DYS values against both other Taylors and the general population of the Ysearch database. I haven't yet gotten around to even considering building a matrix representing all of the Taylor lines (which would be a very useful tool). Some of the results displayed at Ysearch.org are from Taylors who tested through Relative Genetics. The testing there has been separated into two projects. The larger project has 72 members and is administered by Ron Taylor. The smaller of the two projects has only one member. I hope that this information is helpful. Dale E.
