11th: A pattern emerges

With the full Y-DNA37 results now in for our latest recruit - Theo (S-7) we can see that the Irish contingent can be distinguished from their matching Southdean lineages by 576=20 and CDYb=39, as opposed to the modal values of 19 and 40 respectively.

As shown on Theo's page, our paper trails do appear to be beating the odds when compared against the theoretical Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor (TMRCA) percentages given by Family Tree DNA's scientific results without the paper trails.

The relevant supplementary pages have been updated (and a "like on facebook" button added to the footers - be the first!).

If you are direct male line SINTON and are thinking of joining in this voyage of discovery, now would be a good time.

17th: TMRCA etc

The discussion pages have been updated, with the main change being the inclusion of 3 tables showing at various probability levels, the Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor (TMRCA) for what is turning out to be our one and only lineage - lineage 1.
The 75% table has the best match of theory with known paper trail (that of the connecting S-1 and S-2 Southdean SINTONs), but that doesn't mean it is necessarily as accurate for how the others connect.

Results table also updated to show a modal signature for lineage 1.

Also updated the Patriarchs page to include links where further information exists on the DNA Projects Portal, which latter pages have been updated to reflect the latest Irish results.
