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.

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.

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.

WFN page updates

Result pages updated, and a few tweaks to assorted pages given the overall page format changes on the WFN pages.
Check out the grey menu bar for project specific links, and the black menu bar for more generic information.

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.
