Reeves DNA Project Updates - 2q 2022

The past quarter has been very quiet with just three new members joining the Reeves DNA Project at FtDNA and the total current membership is now 409.

In April we had just one new member join the project; welcome to Andrew. May was twice as busy when we welcomed Robert and Christopher. We've had no new membership requests in June.

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 process by FtDNA

    Kit 975897 for Merle Reeves                 presently ungrouped
    Kit 981236 for Robert Reeve                 pending
    Kit B95579 for CG                           added to DNA Group 20

We are grateful to Robert who has kindly completed our DNA Donor Permission e-mail and to Clesa who completed the the Proxy Permission e-mail on behalf of Merle Reeves. 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 pro-forma 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.
