The author of these pages is not an expert in DNA.  However every effort is made to provide accurate data and analysis.  In using this page to further your research, you are urged to read additional articles and browse other Surname Project test analyses and draw your own conclusions.  If you have any corrections, suggestions or even speculation about the information on this page please feel free to contact the Project Administrator, Eldon Wade at:  ewade@cfl.rr.com    

The names of the people tested are not posted. Each person who participates has agreed to share their results and a short sanitized paternal lineage.  At the moment, we include the following in the table:

• Kit Number

• DNA test results in 12, 25, 37, and 67 marker format
• Grouping of individuals with DNA matches into Wade Family Groups
• Indication of matches with other results within their group through color coding
• Ancestor information where the test participant allows us to include the information

When matches are found between two or more individuals, they are placed into Wade haplotype family groups. These groups are shown to make it easier for you to see the matches and for you to identify the potential ancestors that are within this group. Colors are used to show differing markers. If there are more than two mismatches in either the 12 marker or 25 marker results, then those individuals are placed in a different group or an ungrouped table. These results may move to a family group table as more results become available.

The individual whose Y-DNA is tested is free to publish, disclose, discuss his results on any other forum. The connection from "Kit Number" to "Individual" will never be disclosed on this site. If two people request and agree to disclose their addresses to each other, the project coordinator will send them the addresses.  

Early test results have been entered into a table.  That table is viewable on a separate page by clicking the link on the left titled "Results Chart".  The Results Chart page has links to both an Excel spreadsheet file and an Adobe Acrobat file.  If you have a dialup Internet connection the downloading of either of these files may be slow.
