10th: Results
The WFN Results page has had a long overdue update.
It now incorporates all grouped results BUT no longer in a format that links them to any pedigree on the Patriarchs page.
So few of the project members have actually provided a pedigree that it wasn't time effective to keep doing the manual work necessary to link the two.
As you will see, the result grid shows kit number and earliest ancestor with country of origin.
Blanks in the latter two mean that your personal preferences page hasn't been updated with that information.
An older result table continues to exist (page down) where links are in place to those pedigrees that are available.
Those interested in the pedigrees of their matches should contact the individuals directly - and perhaps take the time to upload your gedcom to your Family Tree DNA personal page - and Y-Search.
Now is a good time to take the leap into this genetic genealogy - Family Tree DNA have announced holiday specials:
FYI the sale prices are:
Price for NEW KITS: Regular Project Price (Promotional Price)
YDNA37 $149 ($119)
YDNA67 $239 ($199)
mtDNAPlus $159 ($129)
Family Finder $289 ($249)
Price for UPGRADE:
Family Finder $289 ($229)
Orders must be in and paid for by Dec. 31, 2010, to receive this offer.
Any questions, just ask.
Otherwise simply follow the order test link to make sure any order is included in the project at the discount prices.

4th: Lineage 4
Hope I'm not stretching a point too far, but with the transfer of the results to the Supplementary project pages, I've noticed that 4 sets of results appear as matches to each other in greater or lesser degree.
Lineage 4 is therefore in the process of being created, although two sets of results are only at 12 markers.
Check out Lineage 4 in the R1b1+ grid.
None of the participants, R-05, R-07, R-14 and R-19, have provided any pedigree information that I can so far spot, so there's no additional information available at the moment.
(And if you are reading this and are one of these project members, it would be good to hear from you and see where your ROE line originates.)
Also check out the DNA Projects Portal blog for details of the Holiday promotion currently being run by Family Tree DNA for discounted tests until the end of December.
A good time to jump in and see if that supposed distant cousin really is related.

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.

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.

9th: Latest set of results posted
12 marker results for kit R-31 have been added.
Yet another instance of the ubiquitous R1b1b2 haplogroup.
The result table has had a couple of similar results combined into the one colour coding as the Genetic Distance reports show they are only a GD of 1 apart.
Should anyone wish to hazard some educated guesses as to whether or not we are showing any ROWE lineage patterns here as yet, we'd love to hear from you.
If you are thinking of joining in the fun of DNA testing, now is a good time, as Family Tree DNA are offering discounts up to the end of December, for those joining via a surname project such as the ROWE (and variants) one.
Read the FAQs, and follow the Join the Project link.
