Reeves DNA Project Updates - 1q 2022

The first quarter of 2022 has seen eight new members join the Reeves DNA Project at FtDNA and the total membership at the end of March 2022 is 406.

In January we welcomed three new members to the project; Joseph, Brian and David. February was slightly busier with the addition of five new members; Kathealeen, Bev B, Jimmie, Clesa and Fred. And then things ground to a halt in March, when we've seen no new membership requests.

During the past quarter we've received the results for two new Y-DNA members, with one additional set of results for a new member currently being processed by FtDNA

    Kit 971015 for Joe Hubble                 added to DNA Group XX
    Kit 971763 for BR                         presently ungrouped

Joe kindly completed our DNA Donor Permission e-mail and also confirmed his most recent Reeves ancestor was female, making him a member of our DNA Group XX. BR's Y-DNA test results currently don't closely match any other members of the Reeves DNA Project. The closest match they have is a 35/37 and it happens to be to another individual with the surname Reeves, but sadly the other party is not a member of our project. We would encourage all new Y-DNA donors or their representatives to make contact and allow us to identify them within TRP.

Whilst we will automatically move Y-DNA matched results to the appropriate Project Group, we do not move unmatched results to DNA Group XX without explicit confirmation from the donor or their proxy. If we can keep the ungrouped pool free of results we know should never expect a Reeves Y-DNA match then it makes life much easier for both the admins and those project members hoping to find a Reeves Y-DNA match. Please take a minute to read DNA Group XX's home page within TRP for information on how to provide consent. All it takes is a simple proforma e-mail as described on the Home page.

During the past quarter we've seen no notifications for new Family Finder results (from a new at-DNA Donor) and one notification of the results from a new mt-DNA donor.
