Last revised 14 November 2009 (result pages, of course, are always kept current).

HOT TOPICS

There are two current/hot topics:

1) NEW!  23andme - and autosomal DNA - and genetic genealogy 
This began as a company testing for health related matters. They test SNPs (not STRs) on all chromosomes and mtDNA.  They have been beta testing a “Relative Finder” feature and today announced they offer  “Genetic Testing for Health, Disease & Ancestry,”  I’m experimenting with the ancestry features now to see how useful it will be to genetic genealogists.

 2)  Ancestry.com - DNA Ancestry – adding your data (on going subject)

I said I would wait about one year and see how this develops before I decided whether or not to include my father’s Y-DNA.  I started experimenting there with mixed results.  I hope to upload some of our group modals.  I started doing this but ran into program bugs and have stopped for a while. I’ll report more on this when they fix the bugs.   Reminder: I will not submit information to them for anyone in my projects.  That is an individual decision.

14 November 2009 – Results Pages revised.
The original web address remains the same but the page has been revised.  It now is a listing of the groups with hot links to each group’s DNA results.  This makes it easier to read and faster to load.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gkbopp/KINNEY/Research/DNA%20K.htm
This is a shorter link to that same page

All the many different Irish lines are on one results page.  I’m hoping this makes it easier for potential new participants who are browsing.

 

The complete result listing is at FTDNA’s public Kinney website.
www.familytreedna.com/public/KinneyMcKinneyVariations



Project Information at FTDNA

We now have included the FTDNA public site option at:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/KinneyMcKinneyVariations
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Lenhart

http://www.familytreedna.com/public/McKenna

The information at that site is automatically generated by FTDNA and is always current. WAIT for results to load (it takes a while). New results appear there as Unassigned Members (or some similar name) until changed by the project administrator - FTDNA does not determine family groups.  As always, your personal pages at FTDNA provide information and our web site results page has links to information about family groups.
