Cornish DAWE(S) results

The Summary Result page has been updated to include the preliminary Y-DNA results from a Cornish line.
Currently looks to be a new lineage rather than a match to any in the project.
Haplogroup not yet known.
In addition, the patriarch page has been rearranged to group pedigrees by haplogroup, and colour code them accordingly.

Have a great 2014

No, the lack of posts doesn't indicate a lack of activity, far from it.
Just no time to update the diary.
Remember to keep an eye on the general DNA notices on the DNA Surnames diary.

FamilyTree DNA's annual sale is over and done with and although we didn't advance our knowledge of DAW(E) Y-DNA to the best of my current knowledge, we do now have a prospect lined up that may do so.
Fingers crossed.

A lot of my time these days goes onto exploring autosomal matches (FamilyTree DNA's FamilyFinder test, or 23andme or ancestry's autosomal test).
I am intrigued to notice a match to a lady with Newfoundland DAWs in her tree.
We've not yet explored the connection further as there's only so many hours in a day.

If you do want to venture forth into autosomal DNA testing, ancestry is currently offering tests at a discount (they were down to $79US but now seem to be $89US). Remember to  transfer your results to FamilyTree DNA, and upload your raw data to GedMatch, to make the most of your investment, fishing in as many ponds as possible to find your matches.
As they only ship to US addresses, check out the ISOGG Wiki Shipping page for some options if you are elsewhere.

May 2014 bring us all DAW(E) dna successes!

South West Devon

Check out the Patriarchs page for a few new trees and additions to some already there.
All concerned have their origins in South West Devon.
We would welcome anyone willing to represent their tree - or any other DAWE tree for that matter.

Fuller trees, slightly less focussed on just those lines likely to be able to provide a direct male line DAWE to represent their tree in the dna project may be found on the Administrator's personal DAWE page.

30th: Patriarchs updates

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.
