Of the total, 1744 pages (was1709, 1700, 1694) begin with a number and are most probably a date related gleaning.

TRP Users

We ended July 2019 with 387 391 user accounts registered in TRP, an increase of four. Six users successfully activated their accounts during the month. We welcome new community members Caleb, Wiley, Howard, Donna, Dean and just yesterday, Jonathon_D and look forward to reading their contributions to TRP. Howard and Donna have both created their AboutMe page - well done and thank you. Please remember to check in on your Mentor Team talk page and don't forget to check back for feedback.

If you have yet to do so, please set a meaningful name for yourself as described in First Steps - Part 1. It isn't difficult and only takes a couple of minutes to do.

If you have already started the enrolment process and are having issues, please do let us know.

9000th Wiki Page

Observant readers will notice that the chart above has changed; the vertical axis now extends to 10,000. On 10 July Jonathan created a page to index the gleanings from Deeds in Greene County, Georgia. We added our 8000th page on 1 September 2018, when again the honours went to Jonathan. Its taken 317 days to add the most recent 1000 pages. Here's a thought — if each of our members would get into the habit of adding just one page a month, we'd hit 10,000 pages before the end of 2019!

Another DNA Project Anniversary

We normally only mention the Reeves DNA Project on a quarterly basis, but I'm taking liberties with my own guidance again this month.

Back in April we noted the fifteenth anniversary of the Reeves DNA Project posting its first ever results.
A little over three months later, on 29 July 2004, the Reeves DNA Project announced its first match and the formation of DNA Group 01.

Fifteen years later, we have 333 Reeves DNA Project members and 210 Y-DNA testers in our project over at FtDNA. They are presently formed into 19 Groups with many more individual results which are currently unmatched.

We are still actively seeking additional Y-DNA participants, particularly from those with a R*v*(s) surname who are based in England or who are a very recent emigrant from England. If you are UK based, please reach out via the FtDNA Site to Co-Admin Martin B for Y-DNA test prices in GBP.
