Hi. I am a participant in the Woodall DNA Project. We have had some interesting results. As of today we have 15 different Family Groups. >From Woodall DNA Project website, "As the database of test samples grows with this Project, these people may discover connections to earlier Woodall families previously unknown or unsuspected." http://home.cfl.rr.com/woodalldna/Test%20Results.htm<http://home.cfl.rr.com/woodalldna/Test%20Results.htm> We still need DNA from the Eastern Shore Maryland Woodall's, The Pulaski County, KY Woodall's, descendants of Shadrach Woodall of VA, and other lines. Please look at the website. This could probably help your research if you can have a male Woodall take this test. >From FTDNA website, "Our bodies work as copy machines when it comes to the Y-DNA. You can have a copy machine doing 1,000 copies without a problem, and then, the 1,001 copy may have an "o" that looks more like an "e". And when we use this copy to make additional ones, all the new ones will now have an "e" instead of an "o". This is a simple way to explain how mutations occur in our Y-DNA when it's transferred (copied) from father to son. Mutations don't happen frequently, on the contrary, very seldom, but they can happen randomly in time, which means that I could be one mutation off of my father. " How is the testing done? Two cheek scrapers (looks like Q-tips) and two collection tubes are used for the DNA test kit which is then processed by FTDNA. Goals of 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. For more information email me or go on the Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) website or Woodall DNA Project website. http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=U22989&special=true<http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=U22989&special=true> Thanks, Jeff wjcjets@msn.com<mailto:wjcjets@msn.com>
