Blog labels: those listed by firstname are WIGHTs, others are listed as surnames only.

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.

9th: Progress

Our project has just increased in size - one more participant, W-3.
Further details presumed to be coming.

See the Project Diary for the overall DNA Project Portal Site for details of the test discounts available until the end of this month (Dec 2009).
It's a good time to jump in if you've hit that brick wall and want to see how genetic genealogy can break that wall down.

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).

17th: John WIGHT chart added

Updated the Supplementary pages on the DNA Projects Portal with the abbreviated descendants chart for John and Janet (BUCKHOLM) WIGHT of Gilliestongue, Jedburgh.

2nd: More Wanted! Updates

The Patriarchs Page has been updated to include another WIGHT lineage requiring a participant, that of James WIGHT and Barbara NEIL, married Longformacus in 1727.

David would love to hear from you if you are a male WIGHT descendant from this line and willing to join the project to see what can be learned about this lineage.
