Harvey Y-DNA Project Status as of 3-31-2008
Here is the current update on the Harvey Y-DNA Project.
(The format of my original message is mangled by Ancestry's text editor but since I have not been able to post in a more readable manner for a long time now I am just going ahead with this the only way it can be posted.)
HARVEY Y-DNA PROJECT FACTS and STATISTICS : March 31, 2008
There are a total of 62 participants who have requested a test kit to be sent to them. Of these 62 potential participants 60 have paid the test fee and returned their test sample for processing by the lab.
40 members tested with 37 marker results received - four of whom have been upgraded to 67 marker test level.
5 members tested with 25 marker results received.
12 members tested with 12 marker results received.
In addition to the above noted 57 members who have paid and have had test results returned :
1 member has a 67 marker test being processed by the lab which is scheduled to be returned in mid-April.
2 members have 37 marker tests being processed by the lab which are scheduled to be returned in mid-May.
1 potential member has requested and received his test kit but has not returned it for processing at this date.
1 potential member has requested and received his sample kit but evidently does not intend - or is unable - to follow through with testing as he has had it in his possession for quite some time and does not respond to messages.
(1 additional potential member (female) has only participated as a mtDNA testee. She is making a diligent effort to find a male proxy for her Harvey line.)
***********************************************************************
Of particular interest is the fact that 15 of the male Harvey men tested have been sponsored by female Harvey researchers who have sought out and requested help from their Harvey menfolk. This means about 25% of our
test returns have been provided by our lady Harvey researchers. Thanks for your hard work in achieving this, ladies - I know finding a related "proxy" male Harvey is not always easy or simple to do. Good work!
***********************************************************************
Haplogroup distribution of the 57 members fully tested is as follows :
E3b1 = 5
I1a = 9
I1c = 1
R1a = 3
R1b1 = 33
R1b1c* = 4
R1b1c7 = 2
***********************************************************************
As of this date we have identified 28 individual Harvey lines. This breaks down into 19 groups comprised of 48 members with matches and a holding group of 9 members/lines who have not found a match at this time.
This shows that about 67% of the tested Harvey project participants have found at least one significant match.
As the number of unique, separate, Harvey lines increases the odds get higher that any "incoming" individual tester will find a match.
WEBSITE URLs and DESCRIPTION :
The Harvey Y-DNA Surname Project is found on a free public website provided by the testing lab Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) and is available for viewing from :
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/HARVEY/
The Harvey lines which have two or more identical matches (or very nearly identical) on the "Y-DNA Results" chart which is uploaded when the link is clicked are color coded and have other descriptive information for visual comparison of the different groups having matches as well as a listing for the non-matching participants. Give this upload time as it can take awhile.
The Y-DNA results chart is automatically updated whenever test results are returned so plan to visit often - your line may be next to have some exciting news!
Much additional DNA information is available for your viewing at this site including how to join the group, tests available, and pricing. Just select the link for the FTDNA homepage and follow your interest. Pricing for Group Members is substantially discounted from the standard listing.
The URL for Richard J. Harvey's very interesting web page is :
http://mysite.verizon.net/rjharvey2/
This takes you to Richard's home page - from here you should browse through the listing of Harvey family trees. You may find a link to a Harvey family or other families you were not aware of before.
We hope to hear from you soon?
