Duart One-Name Study Updated
Well, I finally am getting to update my Duart One-Name study website to make
it much more informative. I am accepting information for Duart, Dewart,
Dhu-ard, Doward, and other variants of the name. Ultimately, I would like to
add a Y-DNA component to the site, but first I need Duart males to step up and
take a test. It is preferrable that FTDNA tests be used, however if you have
already taken another company Y-DNA test and are willing to share the
information, I would love to talk to you about adding your results.
Just an FYI, if you are thinking about testing with 23 and Me – DO NOT. They
are in financial difficulty and are trying to sell the company. The
ramifications are still unclear, what will happen to the information they
already have in their database, whether it will be purchased by a pharmaceutical
company or other unnamed companies is still unknown. Watch the news – MSNBC,
CNN, or other news outlets, to see what is going to happen.
Back to the Duart study. I will be making modifications to the website as I
learn how to navigate the TNG (The Next Generation) system that the Guild of
One-Name Studies has created. It is a fun website program and fairly easy to
use, even for this non-computer literate genealogist. If you have photos,
documents or stories you would like to share on my website, please feel free to
send to my email at [email protected]
and I’ll find a spot within the program.
Standby for further updates on the website.
