Jim,

I think I can make the 6 May meeting.  This FTDNA conference was great and
I'm looking for some future announcements from FTDNA.  As for the 3 June
meeting, I will be on my way to Richland, Washington that day.

Yours aye,

Bob

To members of the Surname Projects and Genetic Genealogy SIG and interested
parties:

I have the Meeting Room at the Tysons-Pimmit Library researaved for 6 May
and 3 June,  after which I expect to take two or three months off for
summer.

I plan to devote the meeting of 6 May to discussion of the recent FTDNA
conference.  I have asked Bill Hurst to lead off and tell us about his
session at the conference and then I hope others who where there can join
in a discussion to fill in details for those of us who were not able to
make it this years.

I expect the meeting on 3 June to be devoted to introductory material
specifically for some of our newer members and guests.  I told the
attendees last night that I was interested in receiving questions and I
will organize future meetings around these questions, and the 3 June will
be one of these "question and answers" meetings.  Depending on what
questions I get, we could devote an entire session to a single question or
a class of related questions.  Any time left over can be used for
"questions from the floor" or general discussion.

Also if you have a topic of interest, please consider presenting it to the
group.  This can be done very informally, or a formal as you would like to
make it.  If you are uncomfortable in the preparateion or presentation,
please let me know and I would be glad to work with you, or even lead the
discussion.  I have found the group to be neither shy or intimidating.

Please send me your questions and/or topics so that I can get started with
organizing.

*CORRECTION!!!*

I made an error in updating the Gen-Gen calendar and the automatic
notification system repeated last months notice.

The meeting for June 3 will be

An Introduction to Y-DNA.

This is by request from some of the members.  Bring your questions.  No
question is too elementary.

Susan,

The 12- or 24- marker set of values is the haplotype.  Are you referring to
haplogroup?  If so, this is estimated from your haplotype and is normally
about 95% or so accurate.  If you tested through Family Tree DNA, they will
either estimate the haplogroup and give it to you or, if they are uncertain
about the haplogroup, they will do a free SNP test to determine the
haplogroup.  If you have tested through SMFG or Ancestry.com, they only
estimate the haplogroup (and at times their estimate is way off).

Yours aye,

Bob McLaren

QUESTION:

How does one calculate ones haplotype just by the 12 or 24 marker Y
testing?

Thanks....Susan Klein

My son had 12 markers tested with Family Tree. They predicted his haplogroup and
their prediciton seemed way off to him. When he spoke with the representative,
she agreed, and ordered SNP testing at no expense to my son.

His haplogroup was different than the predicted one. We were very grateful to
Family Tree for investigating further. Since that time, my son has joined his
haplogroup project at Family Tree and is awaiting refinement results.

I would highly recommend FTDNA to those who are interested in DNA testing.

I have just checked with Tyson-Pemmit Library an tried to schedule our
September meeting.  I was told that they would be closing at 8 pm, and
that the fire marshall had NOT approved them for extended hours access.
They expect to have approval later but as of today they do not. The
library web site shows that both Dolly Madison and Oakton do permit
extended access. Oakton is already booked for September 2. So I have
reserved Dolly Madison.  I will periodically check with Tysons to see if
they have received approval and I determine if we can return there.

If you have suggestions for alternate meeting place, I would like to
hear from you.  And, as always, I am looking for suggestions for meeting
content.

If you received this email, it is because you ar on the mail list for
the GenGen-NV group at Yahoo.  This mail list was established to support
the Surname Projects and Genetic Genealogy SIG of the Fairfax
Genealogical Society.  I would appreciate a response from each of you
indicating your level of interest and providing suggestions for future
courses of action.

Furthermore, our last meeting was held on the 2nd of September at the
Dolly Madison public library in McLean VA with a change of venue from
Tysons Corner.  Only three persons in were attendance.  I would like to
know why.

Please answer the following:

1)  Are you interested in future meetings of the SIG.  If not, I can
remove you from the mail list.

2)  If you did not attend the last meeting, was it because of lact of
interest in the announced subject?  Conflict is schedule?  Went to the
wrong location?  Difficulty of getting to Dolly Madison?  Other?

3)  Do you have suggestions for meeting place?  Change of schedule?
Future meeting subjects?  Possible presenters?

The future of the SIG depends upon the answers that I receive.

Thanks you.

Thanks, Susan.  We are moving the subject from last the September
meeting and thus will be discussing the starting and management of
surname projects.

possible.

am always willing to give a presentation on a wide range of DNA topics.  I gave
a more advanced one at the 5th Internation Conference of Genetic Genealogists in
Houston this spring that I would be glad to give.  I can also give a
presentation of the very basics of DNA testing (somewhat along the lines of what
I gave to you before).
