Tag: Dewart

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.
