Yes, Andy Marshall is taking care of the site. I emailed him and he stated there had not been any new information. This was after I received notification that I had a prefect 12 marker match, however the person had a different Surname. Past that, I don't have any additional information. The person the matched was in Canada.

Andy Marshall is the Group Administrator for the Woodall DNA Project. He does a wonderful job and does it out of the goodness of his heart. His wife's maiden name is Woodall. He made a few minor changes around the 1st of Dec., that is when I last conversed with him. He only updates the website when there is new information. Things have slowed down quite a bit since spring because we have not had any new participants. Here are the Goals of the WOODALL DNA Project: *Determine who is related *Prove or disprove theories regarding ancestral research *Solve brick walls in research *Validate existing research *Determine areas for further research *Develop a DNA database for future researchers Some may not know their actual connection to the Woodall family. Some may have a weak paper documentation connection, if so, this is the tool for you. Since taking the test I have been able to find cousins, share information and develop friendships with other Woodall's who have participated in the DNA Project. There is a cost involved. For the 12 marker test the cost is $99 to FTDNA and the cost increases as you select the 25 or 37 marker test. However, if you consider the number of hours spent at the library or the cost of gasoline traveling around the country talking to folks to gather data, this cost is very small. I noticed that the URL's that I posted were run together so here they are again. http://home.cfl.rr.com/woodalldna http://home.cfl.rr.com/woodalldna/Test%20Results.htm Regards, Jeff > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "cmwoo81" <cmwoo81@earthlink.net>> To: <woodall@rootsweb.com>> Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2007 11:29 PM> Subject: Re: [WOODALL] WOODALL DNA Project> > > > Is anyone taking care of the project?> >> > -----Original Message-----> >>From: Jeff Woodall <wjcjets@msn.com>> >>Sent: Dec 30, 2007 1:54 PM> >>To: WOODALL-L <woodall-l@rootsweb.com>> >>Subject: Re: [WOODALL] WOODALL DNA Project> >>> >>Hi.
