27th: New results posted

The Summary results page has been updated to include the preliminary results (markers 1 to 25) for W-4, from the WIGHTs of Longformacus, Berwickshire.
Although his haplogroup is not yet provided by Family Tree DNA, it is suspected that our 4th participant is also a representative from our 4th haplogroup (R1b1).

9th: Web updates

Tidied up the Patriarchs and Results pages a bit, including linking our new participant (W-4) to his Longformacus pedigree.

19th: Another haplogroup

Results are in for our 3rd kit, and adds a 3rd haplogroup into the mix.

Curious which of these you may match?

Follow the links to join the project.

Result pages have been updated on both the Project Summary and the Supplementary pages.
No lineage information has been supplied as yet.

5th: Results now include our 2nd participant

Check out the Results Pages for the W-2's results.
Two participants, two haplogroups.
Pedigree of W-2 as yet unknown.

Now would be a good time to join the project if you've been considering testing out how good the paper trail on your family tree is. Family Tree DNA is offering good discounts until the end of July.
Simply follow the Join Project link to read a bit more and order a test in the WIGHT project (includes instructions on how to transfer from the National Geographic Genographic Project (NGGP) as well).

First project member

A WIGHT who had previously tested with the National Geographic Genographic Project has joined as our first participant.
Read these instructions on how to switch your sample and results across to Family Tree DNA.

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.

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.

The Results and Patriarchs 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 Thomas WIGHT of Massachusetts).
Another representative for the family would be welcome, as would any WIGHT who wishes to test how they may match other families.
