30th: Patriarchs updates

2011-04-30T23:14:00.003+12:00

There's been a rather long overdue update to the patriarchs page of the DAWE Surname DNA project to include a few more of the Devonshre DAWE families:
- the Buckland Monachorum tribe of Sampson and Joan (BLANCHARD) DAWE,
- an inter-related William and Johanna (HUNT) DAWE of Blackawton.
and
- the family of John & Grace (BEAL) DAWE of Pyworthy/Stoke Damerel.

All families still need direct male line DAWE/DAW representatives.

The pedigrees shown are by no means complete, just outlines showing some of the lines more likely to produce representatives.
Love to hear from you.

14th: Upgrade promotion

2009-05-14T19:27:00.002+12:00

6th: Devonshire DAW rep co-opted

2009-01-06T19:15:00.003+13:00

Third kit ordered, we have a rep. from Isaac the miller's line at last, although more from other lines of descent would still be good as more than one rep. is needed to confirm a dna fingerprint.
The Patriarchs page has been updated as a result (to reduce some of the clutter now that a rep has been found for one line).

Also updated the DAWE wanted page with the names of a couple of Devonshire lineages that it would be good to get representatives for (trees to follow).

29th: Newfoundland Lineage updated

2008-12-29T23:13:00.001+13:00

DAWE lineage pages updated to include the new project participant, and where he fits on the Newfoundland charts.
This included adding a new progenitor, William, one generation prior to Samuel, with some additional background info.

28th: Patriarchs updated

2008-12-28T01:29:00.000+13:00

Patriarchs page updated to show the relationships between the newly dna matched participants.
As can be seen, we now have a good dna signature for the Newfoundland branch with two distinct, distant lines represented.
All that's needed now are several representatives of assorted Devonshire branches to provide a good match.

27th pt 2: Welcome to our 2nd participant

2008-12-27T16:50:00.004+13:00

John's match has now come in from the cold and joined the project, so the Results page has been updated to reflect this.

Further details on where he fits into the Newfoundland tree will be updated when provided.

27th: First set of results in, and a match

2008-12-27T10:42:00.003+13:00

Our first set of results (37 markers) are now in. They had been somewhat delayed as the lab had to use the B Sample to get a result.

There's a 25/25 match with another DAWE who has tested with Family Tree DNA, but isn't in our project (yet).

Results pages updated.

8th: New test discounts until end December

2008-12-08T15:46:00.000+13:00

Until the end of December FamilyTreeDNA are offering Christmas specials on new tests ordered, so if anyone is interested in joining in, now is a very good time to do so.
The discounts only apply if you order via the surname project, so make sure you use the join project link (don't worry, you get to read some things first by clicking on that link and aren't automatically committing yourself), on the Daw(e) project pages
For useful comparisons with other lineages, the minimum test recommended is 37 markers, but 67 would be preferred.
Should you be considering this, and are the first to represent a line, or belong to line where a confirming test is required, there may be a subsidy available. Contact the Project Administrator first if you think this may apply.

Likewise, if you have any questions not answered by the FAQs available on the Daw(e) project pages or at FamilyTree DNA, please don't hesitate to contact the Project Administrator, as we'd love for you to be reassured that this is a completely harmless process, and you wont have police knocking on your door because of your dna, nor any medical conditions exposed. Those are completely different, much more elaborate tests.

Come and join the fun, the more lines represented the better.

27th: Portal Pages updated

2008-11-28T01:09:00.001+13:00

Check out the DAWE introductory page.
Although we only have one participant in this project so far, time will presumably remedy that.
John would very much like to match his Newfoundland DAW family to their presumed English roots, either Dorset or Devon being favoured.
There must be some English DAW(E) descendants who are interested in helping us determine where/how the assorted DAWE families link up.

So far, I've only included my main line, that of Isaac DAWE and Sarah SMITH, under the WANTED! page.
When time permits I will add a couple of other Devon families that also connect in various ways.

8th: Participants wanted

2008-11-08T10:07:00.005+13:00

The DAWE Surname DNA Project would very much like to hear from male DAWE surnamed descendants of the following families:
1) Isaac DAWE and Sarah SMITH of Lamerton and Newton Hill, Tavistock area of Devon
2) Joseph DAWE and Elizabeth CROSSMAN of Buckland Monachorum
3) any of the Sampson DAWEs of Devon

12th: First kit ordered

2008-07-12T22:20:00.001+12:00

First kit ordered - by a descendant of the Newfoundland DAW(E) family of Samuel c 1696 Ship Cove, wanting to match back to families in Devon or Dorset

12th: DAWE project initiated
