Reeves DNA Project Updates - 2q 2025
We've seen five new members join the Reeves DNA Project at FtDNA during the second quarter of 2025. We also saw one existing member withdraw from the project and the current membership now stands at 463 (as of 29 June 2025).
During April we were joined by Rosa, Jacob and Belinda. In May it all went quiet with no new members and then in June we saw Colin and Juliana join us.
Through the past quarter we've seen no new sets of Y-DNA test results to share with the Project.
As ever, we would encourage all Y-DNA donors or their representatives to make contact and allow us to identify them within TRP. This is particularly significant if your connection to the R*v*(s) surname is from a female ancestor and you have taken a Y-DNA test. Please take a minute to read DNA Group XX's home page within TRP.
There has been a steady stream of match notifications for existing members of our project during the past quarter, including seven notifications of Y-67 match and 30 notifications of Y-37 matches. The seven Y-67 matches related to three individuals, two of whom we suspect are descendants of a female Reeves ancestor. We'd be grateful if they would confirm this by reviewing DNA Group XX's home page within TRP and then completing a DNA Donor Permission / Consent form so we can formally assign them to our DNA Group XX - thank you.
During the past quarter we've seen one notifications for existing project members receiving new Big-Y results. We've seen no new Family Finder results added for an existing member of our project and one from a new mt-DNA donor during the past quarter. Existing project members who have take a mt-DNA test have also continued to see a stream of match notification emails including 84 "mtfull" notifications during June alone.
