Reeves DNA Project Updates - 4q 2018

At the end of December FtDNA reports the project had 303 members, up from 299 at the end of September.

Its probable that the following summary misses one or more events, either new members joining or new Y-DNA result matches. Between about 24 October and 4 December there was a technical issue with the FtDNA systems which meant Group Project Admins did NOT receive some types of notification e-mails. We rely on those e-mails to alert us to new results so we can review them for matches with our existing groups and to pull together these quarterly summaries. If I've failed to acknowledge you as a new member of our project community or note your new Y-DNA results below, please do contact us and let us know.

In October we welcomed five new members to the project; Leonard, Bryan, Jazz and Deborah. (Yes I can count, one individual joined twice with two different kits.) We also had two members leave the group in October. Two new members joined us in November, one of whom has since resigned from the project leaving Lauren. In December, we had two new members join the project; Margaret and Joshua. Welcome one and all.

During the quarter we've seen no new Y-DNA results and just one upgrade results. We've also seen two new sets of mtDNA results and no new Family Finder (at-DNA) results added for project members. (But as noted above, this may be an under-reporting due to the lack of notification e-mails received by the Project's admins.)

Whilst we have no new results to report, four of our new project members had tested prior to joining the Reeves DNA Project and have been grouped as follows.

    Kit  23843 for BW         added to DNA Group 7
    Kit  46947 for LS         added to DNA Group 6a
    Kit  48072 for LS         added to ungrouped
    Kit 813319 for JR         added to DNA Group 10
