- info added to the family of <a href="http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight/pats?raw=1#WIGHTGeorgeCarfrae">George WIGHT of Carfrae</a>, Berwickshire, Scotland<br />
- additional data on <a href="http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight/pats?raw=1#JamesHOUD">Wights of Bowden and Maxton</a> - to distinguish descendant William from the following William<br />
- added stub for <a href="http://worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight/pats?raw=1#WIGHTWilliamIowa">William WIGHT born abt 1820</a> Scotland, emigrated to Iowa via Ohio<br />
- <a href="http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight/pats?raw=1#PEI">Prince Edward Island Archibald WIGHT pedigree</a> for our last set of results (W-5) added<br />

FamilytreeDNA have announced their annual sale: <br />
<br />
We would love to hear from any <u>direct male line</u> WIGHT wishing to
explore his family history and do his bit for our understanding of the
connections between the various lines.<br />
<br />
We would particularly love to hear from him if he belongs to any of the families listed in the <a href="http://dnasurnames.info/lineages/spwantedwights.htm">One Name Study Wanted! page</a>, or any WIGHT, or similar surnames, not listed anywhere as yet.<br />
(Further information available on the <a href="http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight/pats">WFN Summary Patriarchs page</a> )<br />
<br />
We prefer Y-DNA67
tests to explore closeness of relationships, but for initial exploration of matches, Y-DNA37 is a good
starting point.<br />
<br />A subsidy may be available for some lines.<br />
<br />
Contact details to explore this option, or for any further information, available in the footer of most project pages.<br />

Read <a href="http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight/order">these instructions</a> on how to switch your sample and results across to Family Tree DNA.<br />
<br />
The above link also has instructions for any other WIGHTs who have already been tested and want to become part of the project instead of going it alone. <br />
<br />
If thinking about being tested, there are substantial discounts on new tests if you join a project for your order, rather than order direct from Family Tree DNA (the company this project uses), again, check the instructions link above.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight/results">Results</a> and <a href="http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight/pats">Patriarchs</a> pages have been updated to show our first participant, as has the DNA Projects Portal supplementary pages, where you can find some data on the lineage represented (that of <a href="http://dnasurnames.info/lineages/p305738.htm">Thomas WIGHT of Massachusetts</a>).<br />
Another representative for the family would be welcome, as would any WIGHT who wishes to test how they may match other families.WightDNA Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02414036805197735283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016168721200567462.post-47334263346170955322009-03-31T11:06:00.002+13:002009-03-31T11:08:49.898+13:0031st: We're up and runningAll we need now are participants!<br /><br />The WIGHT dna project has been approved by Family Tree DNA, so the join links etc should all be working now.WightDNA Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02414036805197735283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016168721200567462.post-30447887957862858882009-03-28T19:35:00.001+13:002009-03-31T11:06:54.160+13:0028th: Preliminary lineage info addedThe beginnings of the <a href="http://dnasurnames.info/lineages/spWIGHTLineages.htm">WIGHT Lineages page</a> have been added to the DNA Projects Portal.<br />Bear in mind that until the project is approved at Family Tree DNA the join and contribute links will not yet work.WightDNA Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02414036805197735283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016168721200567462.post-20340964629843622202009-03-28T14:44:00.000+13:002009-03-28T15:26:32.576+13:0027th: Request for surname project lodgedHaving reviewed the existing projects available at <a href="http://www.familytreedna.com/">Family Tree DNA</a>, it was found that no WIGHT project exists, only WHITE, and WIGHTMAN, which are believed to be distinct families.<br /><br />There are 6 WIGHTs who have already tested, who may join the project, which will hopefully be approved early next week.<br /><br />In the meantime, some basic information is being created on the <a href="http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/wight">WorldFamlies Network WIGHT DNA pages</a>.<br /><br />Come and join in the fun of finding genetic connections between our respective WIGHT families.WightDNA Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02414036805197735283noreply@blogger.com0
