Time to test

A great time to explore relationships between SINTON  (and surname variant) families.
FamilytreeDNA have announced their annual sale:

We would  love to hear from any direct male line SINTON wishing to explore his family history and do his bit for our understanding of the connections between the various lines.

We would particularly love to hear from him if he belongs to any of the families listed in the  Wanted! page, or any SINTON, or similar surnames, not listed anywhere as yet.
(Further information available on the  WFN Summary Patriarchs page )

We prefer Y-DNA67 tests to explore closeness of relationships, but for initial exploration of matches, Y-DNA37 is a good starting point.

A subsidy may be available for some lines.

Contact details to explore this option, or for any further information,  available in the footer of most project pages.

Quebec Sintons

An outline descendant chart (of dna candidates only) has been added to the Patriarchs page for the family of Robert & Jane (WIGHT) SINTON of Quebec.
To explore relationships between SINTON lines, DNA candidates are still required for:
- James and Ann SINTON of Lowick, Northumberland
- John and Janet (SCOTT) SYNTON of Duns
- James & Isabella (FLEMING) SINTON of Southdean
- William & Isabella (BLACK) SINTON of Jedburgh and Southdean

So, if you are a direct male line SINTON from any of these, or other lines not documented  here, simply follow the links to join the project.

Jedburgh lineage

I'd not been in a hurry to publish the latest set of results as FT DNA matches was saying, "no match".
Given the paper trail showed a match to Lineage 1a, the Jedburgh SINTONs of William & Isabella (SCOTT) this was a disappointment.
However, the next panel arrived, so I set to updating the database and web pages, creating a new "lineage" in the R1b1b2 haplogroup - and then realised that he was an exact match to just the line he was supposed to be.
FT DNA have been asked why the "no match" results, and LRF (S-6) has been included in Lineage 1a, as he should be.
Summary results, and supplementary pages updated to include him in his rightful place on the SINTON tree.

FORDs?

Possibly we're all FORDs!
A new member popped out of the woodwork today.
At this stage nothing is known about his ancestry, other than his great grandfather Philip H FORD was from Arkansas born Scotland, and that he is GD3 to Peter (S-1) at 67 markers, which distance is made up from two mutations on one marker (CDYb), and the other as he is on modal for Lineage 1 at marker 449.
99% chance of a shared ancestor within 16 generations!

Both the summary result and the supplementary pages result grids have been updated, the former belatedly also including Theo (S-7)'s results as a catchup.

Still a few hours left for the discount promotion if you are a direct male line SINTON interested in seeing if you match anyone (see previous post)

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.
Family Tree DNA have announced discounts until the end of December.
FYI the sale prices are:

Price for NEW KITS: Regular Price (Promotional Price)
YDNA37 $149 ($119)
YDNA67 $239 ($199)
mtDNAPlus $159 ($129)
Family Finder $289 ($249)
Price for UPGRADE:
Family Finder $289 ($229)

Orders must be in and paid for by Dec. 31, 2010, to receive this offer.

Any questions, just ask.
Otherwise simply follow the order test link to make sure any order is included in the project at the discount prices.

21st: Good match at 67 markers

Results are in for our second test at 67 markers, with nary a discrepancy at all between markers 38 and 67 (unlike another project where many of the interesting variations between a lineage occur in those marker panels).

Supplementary pages have been updated to reflect the newest results, which show there is indeed an excellent match between Stephen (S-3) and Peter (S-1)
