Tidy up

Realized that one of our results wasn't showing on the Overall SINTON DNA results grid, and that a behind the scenes renumbering for ease of maintenance had not been completed.
Both now remedied,  more of the associated charts converted to the newer interactive format whereby you can collapse / expand branches to get a better picture of those sections of interest to you.
A few broken links also mended, hopefully without creating more.

So, if you have bookmarked certain people of interest, you may need to recreate your bookmarked pages.

Summary Patriarchs page also updated to reflect the renumbering above.

Still looking for direct male line SINTONs to represent their trees - check out the Wanted! pages in particular, but any SINTON tree anywhere, whether shown on these pages or not is most welcome.

Wanted! updates

Incorporated three more charts and related person data into the Wanted! page:
- Andrew and John, sons of William and Isabella (Scott) SINTON
- John SINTON (married Margaret KAY, and believed to be a son of James & Janet (Oliver) SINTON of Southdean.
Representatives from either of the lines of Andrew and John would be great to help define William's dna fingerprint
And a representative from John's line should confirm his place on the Southdean tree

WFN Updates - Lineage 1a

Made a few updates to the SINTON DNA Project pages, including:
- correcting the pedigree shown for patriarch William (I'd missed out son John, which connected one line up to the wrong son of William and Isabella).
- assigning William and Isabella to Lineage 1a

Also added William to the Wanted! list to reinforce that although we do indeed have a representative of William and Isabella (SCOTT) SINTON's line, it would be good to see where the discrepancies with the Southdean line crept in, before or after William.

30th: Wanted! / test discounts

Well I didn't check all the links in the Sinton Lineages section that well.
Several more fixed.
And fingers crossed, we seem to be no longer blocked as a potential spam blog.

Wanted! page has been updated to include the lineage of the Cairncross Sintons, another Southdean and Jedburgh family.

Any of you out there reading this?

You, and any other Sinton males who might be considering joining the project to help identify the assorted lineages may be interested to know that until the end of December FamilyTreeDNA are offering Christmas specials on new tests ordered, so if anyone is interested in joining in, now is a very good time to do so.
The discounts only apply if you order via the surname project, so make sure you use the join project link (don't worry, you get to read some things first by clicking on that link and aren't automatically committing yourself), on the Sinton project pages
For useful comparisons with other lineages, the minimum test recommended is 37 markers, but 67 would be preferred.
Should you be considering this, and are the first to represent a line, or belong to line where a confirming test is required, there may be a subsidy available. Contact the Project Administrator first if you think this may apply.

Likewise, if you have any questions not answered by the FAQs available on the Sinton project pages or at FamilyTree DNA, please don't hesitate to contact the Project Administrator, as we'd love for you to be reassured that this is a completely harmless process, and you wont have police knocking on your door because of your dna, nor any medical conditions exposed. Those are completely different, much more elaborate tests.

Come and join the fun, the more lines represented the better.

27th: Check out the updates

I think I've reviewed, updated, all the SINTON data on the dna portal site, so from now on, please report any broken SINTON related links, or better still, find volunteers for the Wanted! lines to participate.
If anyone has any favourite SINTON website links to be added to the SINTON DNA Overview, just let me know.
