Long past time for an update.
We now have results from 30 kits available, but with very few matching lines.
Our 30th kit (R-34) does have a 12/12 match with an existing participant (R-02), but for genealogical matching, the bare minimum is really 37 markers (read the notes at the bottom of the join project page on the Summary project pages for more info).
15 kits are only to 12 markers and 2 to 25, with 4 to 37 and 9 to 67.
Presentation of results is in the process of changing to a more easily maintained result grid on the ROWE Detail pages of the DNA Projects Portal (they're not all there yet), leaving only an alternate result grid from Family Tree DNA on the ROWE Summary pages, which is color coded to show distance from the mode for each "group".
As before, any participant with a pedigree from Devon, or a dna result showing a match to same, is also included in the analysis of the Devon ROWE dna.
Those with such a proven pedigree, may also be interested in joining the Devon DNA project.
(To do so, log in to your personal page at Family Tree DNA, chose the Join Project link, and scroll down and select Devon from the list of surname and geographic projects available to you).
Those who haven't yet provided a pedigree for your results, please consider doing so, either via the gedcom upload option on your personal page, or to Y-Search (again from your personal page, or if you want to be included as a ROWE researcher, with linked pedigree information, on the Detail pages, send me an email (contact details on most pages).

10th: R not E
Whatever it was that showed R-17 as E1b1b1 instead of R1b1b2 was a temporary glitch.
He has been restored into his rightful place under the R1b1b2 group which predominates our results to date.
Results page updated to reflect the above.

9th: Result update/haplo change
A portion of R-17's upgrade results have been received, and updated.
It would appear that his haplogroup has been re-evaluated, and switched from R1b1b2 to E1b1b1, but as the standard published FT Dna results still show the former haplogroup, Family Tree DNA have been asked to advise which is the true group.
In the meantime the results have been shifted into the E haplogroup section.
The Family Tree DNA July sale is still on, offering good discounts for a number of tests, summary info available on our WFN pages. Be in.
We are still missing a number of pedigrees for our results, all welcome.
Failing that, remember that you can easily upload your results, and a gedcom, to Y-search for others to compare results, find matches outside the Family Tree DNA database (people can submit their results from other companies).
Just sign in to your personal page with Family Tree DNA, go to the Matches link on the lhs, and follow the link "Click here to upload your results to Y-search.org"
No tedious re-keying needed.

24th: Results updated/corrected
Last update I forgot to add the rest of the marker results on the WFN result pages that were now in for R-33.
This has now been remedied, and should match those already posted on the results posted on the supplementary pages on the DNA Projects Portal (for some of the ROWE project only).
The correction portion of this comment refers to the mistake I noticed that had crept in as the WFN pages had marker 390 as 24 instead of 23, as a result, I've shifted his results up to those he matches better, match being a very loose term in this instance however.

20th: Result updates
The WFN Results page has had a few updates:
Good to see that some of you have taken advantage of the Family Tree DNA upgrade offer and become curious enough to see what upgraded markers may tell you about how you match others.
- a new/missing haplogroup has been confirmed,
- some of the links from R-n on the results, to their matching pedigrees, now open in a new window directly at the pedigree concerned (previously such links weren't working fully, merely taking you to the patriarchs page because of the pages being in "frames", so I'm gradually fixing that).

15th: Bulk email to all members
Further to yesterday's post re the upgrade offer, an email has been sent to all members of the project, (unless you have chosen NOT to be contacted by the administrator) with further details.
It includes a plea to those who have tested, but not supplied a pedigree as yet, to do so, in order to back up their results and show where their line originates.
There's a list of missing pedigrees on the Patriarchs pages, and that includes instructions on how to provide the information.
Personally, I would recommend upgrading, particularly if you have a match at 12 markers, as that is really too few to show anything much at all, 37 is more or less the minimum useful number, and 67 is fantastic! (and no I do NOT get a cut for any of this, I just enjoy finding out what science can add to our genealogy research).

Hi,
FTDNA is offering a SALE on Upgrades!
If you are eligible for this offer, you should already have received an email on how to take advantage of it.
If you think you are eligible, and didn't receive the email, perhaps you need to review your email settings held by FTDNA (just log in to your page and update your contact information via the link on the lhs under My Account (not sure how I thought that was going to reach you if your email was invalid, but this blog posting may!)
More details below, but while I've got your attention, I should also like to issue a plea to those of you who have tested, but not submitted a pedigree to support their results.
Our summary project pages on the WorldFamilies Network site Patriarch's page http://worldfamilies.net/surnames/rowe/pats shows those without supporting data, and has links for submission of same.
Back to the business in hand:
These discounts are a great opportunity to upgrade your Y-DNA tests to at least 37 - and ideally 67 markers - at a discounted price of 25% off. (Please see the notice from Family Tree DNA below)
If you are currently only tested for 12, 25 or 37 markers, you will want to consider upgrading right away this time - as this sale is very brief.
To upgrade at this discounted price go to your FTDNA Personal Page, click on “Special Offers” in the left column, and follow the instructions. You will need to act quickly as this offer is in effect now and runs through Saturday the 23rd of May.
FTDNA's message: Over the last several years, due to the unmatched growth of our database, numerous people have confirmed and found new connections with others of their surname, and adoptees and descendants of adoptees have even found their biological surname lines.
These successes are due in large part to the size and quality of our database, which, with your help, has achieved critical mass. We have made tremendous progress, but we feel that we can do more. If you have tested 12, 25, or 37 markers, an upgrade to 37 or 67 markers could provide the relevant match that you or someone else have been waiting for.
Family Tree DNA wants to support this effort. We have decided that from May 14th through May 23nd, we will reduce all our Y-DNA upgrade prices. On average, the reduced prices will be about 25% lower than the standard upgrade price.
