I have included a review of the different types of DNA tests available in the first article this month. We are using the Y-Chromosome 37 marker test for the Bassett project. Family Tree DNA has special pricing through the holiday season. You can use the link below to get to their website and choose SHOP NOW under the Paternal Ancestry section to order a Y-37 test kit. I still have funds available for a few kits for members of a Bassett line that has not yet tested. I am especially interested in any Bassett line with roots in France. Test kits are just $99.
The following trees were added to the Bassett website database since the last newsletter:
554B. Samuel Bassett of Texas (47 individuals)
Totals number of individuals loaded into the Bassett website: 169.358
The following family line has been added since the last newsletter.
554B. Samuel Bassett of Texas
We had one new DNA result this month for kit #920044. This was for a descendant of #9B Thomas Washington Bassett of Virginia. Note he matched via DNA to the other Bassett lines also found in Mathews County, Virginia. We have not yet linked these Virginia Bassetts together with a common ancestor.
No new results to report on the Bassett DNA project.
