 FTDNA has changed the DEFAULT privacy settings for NEW MEMBERS to show test results to project members only.  



To see the Results Chart click on "DNA Results" in the left margin. The Results Chart is automatically updated by Family Tree DNA computers, except for the Most Distant Ancestor information which you update under MANAGE PERSONAL INFORMATION/PERSONAL PROFILE/MOST DISTANT ANCESTOR/PATERNAL on your personal webpage, or you can e-mail the Group Administrator with this information. FAILURE TO PROVIDE YOUR MOST DISTANT ANCESTOR INFORMATION WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL FROM THE PROJECT. Since the Results Chart has limited room for Most Distant Ancestor information, project members are encouraged to either build their family tree using the new FAMILY TREE option , or invest in software to create a GEDCOM file which is uploaded on your personal webpage.

 

If you need help interpreting your results, click on RESOUCES/LEARNING CENTER in the top row of your personal MyFTDNA webpage.


SUBGROUPS: The Results Chart has the capability to offer member subgrouping by color. If you are interested in this, please send the Group Administrator an e-mail. Include in your e-mail which kit numbers you would like to be part of your subgroup.

Subgroup K87577 - The William Davis DNA Project The William Davis DNA Projectis a non-profit, volunteer-run group created to connect living descendants of William Davis using DNA testing and to research their Davis
ancestors. Members of the WDDP know they are all descendants of their immigrant ancestor, William Davis, born 1663 Wales, because they all have closely matching DNA, haplotype I2a, proven by 67-marker Y-DNA tests. The WDDP mission is to use DNA testing to prove as many major lines as possible of the William Davis family tree, using the Davis paper family tree as a guide and comparing DNA patterns from living descendants as proof. Because William Davis and several of his sons were ministers in the Seventh Day Baptist Church, much of his family tree has been researched in detail, published both in books and online, resulting in a strong paper history for comparison. As descendants of the sameancestor, members of the WDDP collaborate in research to clarify their genealogical histories. They share their findings with each other and inspire each other to do better research. WDDP's website, William Davis DNA.org [http://williamdavisdnaproject.wordpress.com],posts news about current research and hosts their public online family tree, William Davis DNA Project Family Tree.
