Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
For those of you who have McGee connections, i.e., descendants of Archibald, Dean McGee has a very nice website which gives information on the descendants as well as on their surname genetic project.

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is now a link from the Clan Douglas website to our website. Glendinning is a sept of Clan Douglas.
Sharon
I was finally able to get a good email address for the webmaster of Clan Douglas. I have contacted him about putting a link on the Clan Douglas website to our Clendenin website.
His response was that he would do so asap.
Small steps but maybe we will be able to generate some interest in our surname project through that link.
Sharon
This is just to let you know that any further discussion regarding our surname project should be addressed privately to me at SharonBryant(a)cox.net. Or if it is something that you think should be discussed or would be of interest to more than one person please use the special list set up for that purpose.
If you don't remember that email address contact me at the above address.
Thanks,
Sharon
Don't forget that if you intend to make a contribution for future testing the matching contribution from FTDNA is only good until the end of the month.
The URL to make an on-line contribution is http://www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html.
We have had at least one contribution and I would like to thank that individual without divulging names. I appreciate your confidence and support in this project.
If you know someone, or perhaps yourself, who is hesitating due to the costs, we will have some money to use towards testing. Those tests, in order to use the matching funds, must be ordered by the end of December.
I know that these are tough times and there's always somewhere to put your money but any contribution you can make would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi,
Is anyone out there planning to attend the Highland Games in Richmond this coming weekend--Oct 23 and Oct 24?
Clan Douglas is not among the clans listed as being present.
We are considering going as my daughter and grandson have never been to a highland games and I would like to go to another one (one a long time ago and I can't remember whether it was on a trip to Georgia or one to Kansas City area).
Let me know. It might help me make up my mind.

Hi,
Last Monday I attended a Naval Academy Alumni luncheon where James Webb was
the guest speaker. That evening he had a book signing for his latest book.
"Born Fighting How the Scots-Irish shaped America." I have not had a chance to
start reading it yet, but from his talk it sounds like a must reading to get an
understanding of our cultural history.

Hi everyone,
FTDNA is having themselves quite a month. Here is their latest price reduction offer good for the month of October only.
"Haplogroup Test Challenge: your matches suggest that you belong to Haplogroup ? (our group is mostly R1b but we do have three who have estimated at I). During this month of October, we will give you the opportunity of challenging our prediction capabilities. While our regular SNP test price is $100, we will be reducing this price to $50 to confirm your Haplogroup. But better than that, if we were wrong in our prediction we will keep testing your Y-DNA at no additional charges, until we have your Haplogroup confirmed! Challenge FTDNA and order a Y-DNA SNP test for my confirmed Haplogroup.
If you decide you would like to do this, go to your personal page where you received your results, click on the Haplogroup tab, scroll down and order a Y-DNA SNP test to confirm your Haplogroup.
Hi everyone,
I'm excited. We're managed to locate a descendant of Archibald Clendenin who has agreed to be tested.
The kit has been ordered and he should have it by this weekend. (He's in the process of moving so it is going to his son's home).
We will probably have the results by the middle of December. If you believe you are descended from Archibald this is a good chance to be tested and have markers to compare against.
Also the two kits that had already been returned to the company for John and William (F.,) have now been assigned a batch number and are on their way for testing.
Sharon
Hello,
I received the following information today and wanted to pass it along. Here is an opportunity for you to make a contribution directly to FTDNA for testing of others if you can not be tested yourself. What is really kind of neat about this is that FTDNA will match dollar for dollar any contribution made to the Clendenin General Fund between now and the end of October up to a limit of $200. If you have someone in mind for testing but didn't have all of the money here is an opportunity to have FTDNA help pay for the testing subject to the three conditions set below.
If you have said you would be willing to donate for testing, here is your opportunity to do so and the money doesn't have to come to me.
If you do donate and have someone in mind for testing, let me know and make sure that the individual is agreeable for testing.
"To Clendenin group manager,
Many of you have contacted me requesting more details about the Surname
Project General Fund. Here it is: The General Fund was created as a tool
to be administered by Family Tree DNA, so that it is not a burden to the
Group Administrator:
a) Family Tree DNA collects/disburses the money and keeps a log under the
General Fund link in the GAP
b) The Group Administrator tells FTDNA to which kit we should apply funds.
c) We have created a self-explanatory page to be used by those who want to
make a contribution to their family DNA project:
www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html (You will also find a link to
this page under the General Fund at your GAP).
You are welcome to send the above link by e-mail to potential
contributors, as well as publish it in your website. In addition to that,
if you have a public web page for your project at Family Tree DNA, we are
including in the setup page a box where you can choose to have that
"General Fund" mentioned in the blue bar, on the left side of the page.
-- Matching Gift from Family Tree DNA: in conjunction with the launch of
the General Fund, Family Tree DNA will match dollar per dollar the
contributions to Surname Projects during the month of October, up to a
total of $200. There are 3 conditions for the use of FTDNA's matching
dollars:
a) no more than $25 that has come from FTDNA can be used per test,
b) FTDNA matching gift can be used only for new kits,
c) FTDNA contributions from the matching gift need to be used before the
end of this year, as they will expire on 12/31/04, whether used or not.
If all Surname Projects took advantage of this matching gift, Family Tree
DNA will be committing a total of over $250,000 to new tests!

Everton's Family History Company Out of Business
One of the oldest companies in the genealogy business has closed its doors. The owner of Everton's Family History Company, publisher of Everton's FamilyHistory Magazine (formerly Everton's Genealogical Helper), has ceased operations and donated the company's assets to the city of Logan, Utah.
These assets include a very substantial genealogical library, the very popular Handybook for Genealogists, the online Everton's Family History Network and their 57-year-old genealogy magazine

Okay, here I am again ... just had a brain storm or at least I hope that's what's causing my headache.
A gentleman who runs more than one big surname project has designed some haplogroup pins -- much like lapel pins or tie tacks.
I will provide pins under the following circumstances:
1. You must have tested yourself or be a female who has a close relative who has been tested.
2. You recruit a distant male cousin to take the test.
3. They must be tested for no less than 25 markers.
4. Upon confirmation that the test has been ordered I will obtain and mail to you a haplogroup pin for the appropriate haplogroup (most of you would be R1b).
OR if anyone has another idea please send it to me.
Sharon
Okay, here's how this shakes out. Within a group of 11 participants, I think we can safely say that these men are all related in one fashion or another.
The matches range from 31/37 to 35/37 and Willie and Don at 37/37. I realize that 31/37 would be listed as being unrelated but when you look at the numbers and where the mutations are, well ... I have been trying to get some help from people who run much larger projects but it's difficult with the paper trails that we have that seem to trickle down to scuffed up marks in the sand. There simply isn't enough data to be able to say, so-and-so is the most recent common ancestor.
Perhaps the numbers will begin to make more sense and a better pattern will emerge when the last two kits go to the lab and we get those results back. One of them is another descendant of Adam and Winifred and the second is another descendant of William of NC.
We still need more participants, especially additional participants with good paper trails back to Charles of VA.
I have suggested, requested, begged, cajoled, appealed to sense of family ... well, just about everything short of knocking people to the ground and sitting on them while prying their mouths open to do a swab.
I don't know what else to try. Our biggest problem right now is how these men fit together and I'm talking about the ones who came to America. We have three pairs of cousins: two of them are fifth cousins and the others are fourth cousins, once removed. Think about it again and if necessary pay for someone's testing as an early Christmas present.
Sharon
Hello everyone,
We now have complete 37 marker results for Nick Clendenin, descendant of John and Janet Huston Clendenin, and Wm H. "Willie" Clendenin, who is a fifth cousin to Don.
By the way, Willie and Don match perfectly at 37/37. This does not always hold true as is proven by a couple of the other cousin pairs in the project.
We still have two kits which have been returned to the company but which have not yet been assigned a batch number and have not yet been sent to the laboratory for the testing.
That leaves only the retesting of Guy's samples outstanding. They are still saying in the next couple of days.I'm hoping the results this time will be closer to the other participants.
I have updated the charts on the website at http://www.homepages.rootsweb.com/~clendin. Please go check them out. I have also removed the analysis which had been posted previously.
I'm going to send a second post to talk about what we now have with Nick and Willie's complete results in place.
