Hi Everyone,
I would like to welcome new members to the Fanning DNA Project, John Howard Fanning who descends from Chestnut Creek John Fanning and Ted Prosser who is an exact 37 out of 37 marker match with Pat and Albert. Ted's father was adopted as an infant so feel this is quite extraordinary for our group and wish to welcome his as a member. Hopefully we can help him find his grandfather. Welcome to Donald Fanning who descends from Chestnut Creek John Fanning thru his son John Fanning and Mary Polly Davis and also to Wendell Fanning who descends from Middleton Fanning. Four new members is terrific. Welcome everyone.
Please join DNA Newbies Mailing list. This is a very active mailing list monitored by very knowledgeable people who can answer all your questions regarding Genetic Genealogy. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DNA-NEWBIE/
The list posted information about our haplogroup a few weeks ago. This is a very informative site and you can join the group if you choose. http://www.familytreedna.com/public/R1b1c7/.
Another good site for information is http://www.isogg.org/. There is also a link from our Family Project Page. Please remember to upload your results at www.Ysearch.org, the FTDNA sponsored public database. Your will find the upload link at your Y-DNA Matches tab, where there is an explanation and a link for the upload.
Ted started the interest in 67 markers. Pat and Gary have requested upgrades and Wendell has chosen a 67 marker test and those results are eagerly anticipated.
Jim's additional markers are expected back sometime soon. There has been a delay in the additional results and suspect that perhaps the additional markers are being retested.
Results and pedigrees have been updated http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/f/fanning/. A couple of new links have been posted and an article by Samuel Fannin has been posted on the discussion page regarding the various spellings of Fanning. Thank you very much Samuel for contributing.
We still need to reach other Fanning members for testing. We have no recent Fanning immigrants to the US in our group, nor do we have anyone from Edmund Fanning as a member. We have no members from Ireland other than Samuel. Recruitment needs to be a priority for everyone of us. The Fanning/Fannin/Fannon GenForum seems to provide the most results. Frequent posting mentioning our project may help.
Pat has suggested placing a notice in Everton's magazine, which I will do. Posting to Genealogy Society mailing lists or Rootsweb location mailing lists might help. Also e-mail any Genealogy Society with a webpage where our Fannings are located and ask if we can post a link to our project. E-mail any suggestions to me or please just go ahead and post where you feel results might be achieved. E-mail from more than one of us will be more effective than just an e-mail from me
