I've been lurking on this list for some time and thought I would take the opportunity to introduce myself. I am the admin of the Cruse/Crewes/Cruwys/Cruise project at Family Tree DNA. My DNA project is run as part of my one-name study into the Cruse surname and all its variant spellings: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/CruwysDNA My one-name study is registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies. All our Guild projects have a worldwide focus so we get a slightly different perspective in comparison with the majority of projects at Family Tree DNA and elsewhere which seem to focus exclusively on American lineages. If anyone is running a worldwide DNA project and is interested in joining the Guild you can find more information on the Guild website: http://www.one-name.org I should emphasise that the registration requirements are not as daunting as they might sound as the research can be done passively at your own pace. I also run a geographical project for the English county of Devon: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Devon The project is restricted to those with documented ancestry to Devon. I was interested in the mention of the surname Westcott as that is one of the surnames which appears in my own personal family tree. My Westcotts are from the parish of North Molton in Devon. I've not yet been able to locate any Devon Westcotts to participate in the Devon project, though I do have a Westcott in Australia who was interested but couldn't afford the test. I have also been helping out as co-admin of the mtDNA haplogroup U4 project: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/U4mtDNA In the last year we have completely revamped the U4 project and more than doubled the membership. I would be delighted to hear from anyone with an interest in any of these projects. Debbie Kennett
