Updates

The WorldFamiliesNetwork Summary pages for the ROWE Surname DNA project have been updated.
Main changes on the Patriarchs page:
- place holder pedigree for Nicholas ROWE, poet laureate, aka the ROWEs of Lamerton, Devon,  extended a little to place him in context (more coming in time)
- new UK ROWE pedigree included, that for Edward ROWE of Durham (d. 1633), which line is now represented in the DNA project

Main changes on the Results page:
- corrected the default table embedded on the page direct from FTDNA to be the colourized version showing the mismatches
- updated the Y STR results for a couple of those in the tables linked to the pedigrees (scroll down below the default table), added the results for the descendant of Edward ROWE, including the link to his pedigree

Pretty please - if you are one of those tested Y-DNA in the ROWE project, check how your results look.
Does your most distant ancestor show?
Do your results even show?
The cause of either not showing lies in your hands.
Check your settings from your FTDNA account's "Manage Personal Information" link.
Recommended settings, and explanations thereof linked from this post in the related DNASurnames blog

Hope you continue to find this DNA journey fascinating.

26th: Results update

The chart on the results table that links to the supplied pedigrees has been updated to include the preliminary results for R-42, who is hoping to match our newest recruit, R-43.

The basic result chart, unlinked to pedigrees, is a direct link to the Family Tree DNA result spreadsheet, and should always be fully up to date, albeit not linked to any pedigrees.

Still a few days left to partake of the discounts on offer for testing via a project, see below for details.

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.

3rd: Supplementary page updates

A couple more of the results have been incorporated into the Overall Result Grid on the Supplementary pages.
The rest will gradually be moved over as time permits.

25th: Status & result updates

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:
  • 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).
Mind you, there isn't always a pedigree attached, often just a stub awaiting further information (hint hint).

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.

7th: More results; new features

As the DNA Projects Portal Site Blog for the master site states, the dna pages have had a revamp and now include rather more of the dna result grids than before.
Read the Explanations tab for how to drive it and the notes and assumptions around each chart.

All that general change notice aside, the specific changes for the ROWE project are that some of the ROWE dna result grids are now available within the DNA Projects Portal ROWE project.
The overall project summary will remain at the World Families Network pages, but selected data will now be more integrated, where appropriate.
Generally this will mean where there's a connection to Devon, but could also be where a defined lineage develops and has submitted pedigree data (not a lot of those in the project have done so).
The Projects Portal site is more flexible, can include dna signature charts, images, maps etc and grow much larger as appropriate.
Anyway, check out the growing ROWE pages at the DNA Projects Portal site, which includes the latest updates for Roger (R-33), showing that he's not a very good match with any other participants.

11th: New member, some updates

The addition to the project of a transferee from the National Genographic Project prompted a check of the existing results.
Updated results have now been posted for one of the kits who had upgraded his markers, and the results received to date for the transferee have been added.

I also had a quick look at whether or not any exciting new matches between participants had snuck in when I wasn't looking.
Checking only those tested to the same number of markers:
The 67 marker tests still only have the two known lines with their confirming matches.
For the 25 and 37 marker tests none are showing as close matches with each other.
For the 12 marker tests R-21 is an exact match to R-30 but would need an upgrade in markers to see how close that might be in practice.

Any member who hasn't yet lodged a pedigree is welcome to do so, and any ROWE (and variant surnames) males interested in seeing if they have any unknown genetic relations out there are very welcome to join in.

Should anyone have any interesting ROWE webpage links they'd like added to the supplementary pages on the DNA Projects Portal, click on the compiler link on those pages to notify the webmaster of the details.

25th: Result added

Included a missing R1a1 result in the table, and added a link to this Project Diary.

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.

5th: Modal chart added to results

Several more results in, and kits ordered.
Check out the World Families Network ROWE project pages.

An additional version of the results table has been added, showing modal values for each haplogroup, with colour coded distance from them. (this will not be updated as frequently as the simple colour coded chart above it).

Should anyone wish to make a start on assigning family groups to these we'd love to hear from you.

New coordinator, status update

Lorna added as co-ordinator for the ROWE Surname DNA project.
Check out the World Family Network pages associated with this project.

Lorna's particular interest is in ROWE families of Devonshire England, where ROWE is the SMITH name of the area, very prolific, for her particular family, see her web pages.

Between Nov 2004 and now the project has grown to include
20 results posted to the WFN pages above, spread over 4 haplogroups.
Sometime between Nov 2004 and Feb 2008 the project was switched to the care of the World Families Network.
