About us
STILL AMAZING: Kit #41280 (Hause of Texas); although the spelling of his surname is HAUSE, this participant matched the four participants, whom are proven descendants of Samuel Hawes I of Virginia (circa 1675-1769). This project participant, after recent research, is believed to be descended from Claiborne Hawes (circa 1790-1826), descendant of Isaac Hawes, Sr. (Samuel Hawes of Virginia line). He also matches Kit #48577 (Hawes of California), for whom we have no paper trail beyond James W. Hawes, born in Illinois and dying in the Civil War.
UPDATE: Kit #48577 (Hawes of California) with 37-marker results posted recently, offers some exciting possibilities to other descendants of his Hawes line and to Samuel Hawes I of Virgina descendants. This participant has a paper family tree back to James W. Hawes, born in Illinois & married to California Welch, and whom died in the Civil War. His DNA matches very closely descendants of both the sons of Samuel Hawes I; Isaac Hawes, Sr. and Samuel Hawes II, as well as #41280 (Hause of Texas). The parents of James W. Hawes are unknown. We have not connected paper family tree records for our Samuel Hawes I line to James W. Hawes, at this time. BUT, DNA DOES NOT LIE. Might we be on the verge of finding a common ancestor, whom proves older than Samuel Hawes I (circa 1675-1769)? At the very least, we may be able to add more information to one of the lines of Samuel Hawes I, of Virginia.
15 June 2005 - There is a possibility that our group may have other participants in the future, whom are a part of the genographic study being conducted by National Geographic with Family Tree DNA, our testing company. Those participants with a Hawes surname of any spelling, may opt to join our study group and we welcome them. You may have read or heard about the National Geographic project, on the national news. We welcome them.
Many thanks to all of our study participants. We have a fine group of Hawes results, against which we and others will be able to compare. I am excited about the matches we have so far; see our project results.
The chart below, with results of the testing shown for our DNA study, is an Alleles chart. The identifying numbering, 1,2,3,4 & so on, on the chart changes from time to time, when there are matches and results are re-grouped. Because of this, in the future I will use kit numbers, associated with U.S. states or countries of participants. Hopefully this will prevent me from making mistakes in posting results, when the numbering changes. By omitting first names or initials of our participants, we hope to protect their privacy.
A list of participants follows with kit numbers, surname and the state or country where each participant resides. Given names are omitted in order to protect the privacy of each individual.

Many have asked what the individual numbers on the Alleles chart mean. I am reading and studying about DNA testing and, with the exception of one or two of the columns, I can honestly say that I do not know. What I can say to you is that the main significance of the numbers for each individual, for the purpose of our study, is whether or not they match another participants results. You may find many articles and books on the subject of DNA testing for genealogical purposes, to answer your questions with technical accuracy.
