Williams Surname DNA Project
   The Williams DNA Project was established in January 2003 with the purpose of gaining a better understanding of all the various Williams lineages in the world. Hardly a family can say they don't have a Williams line in their ancestry. This project has proven very successful in helping many researchers prove and disprove their genealogies. Could it help you?

Williams DNA Fund
   The Williams DNA fund was established to encourage new particpation by helping defray the costs of the testing for those who are financially restricted. More ----->

Latest News and DNA Results - May 29, 2009

It's incredible how fast time moves the older you get. Of course having an incredibly busy personal life seems to speed it up even more. I guess fate is determined to keep me a month behind on getting data posted to the results.

I've just finished updating all the latest results that have come in over the last month. It's been a busy one for our project. Our project has grown immensely over the last month or two...we are now up to an amazing 676 participants and 88 matched groups...simply INCREDIBLE! Just in this update alone, we've seen the creation of four new groups. And, I'm anticipating another large update here in the near future. FTDNA just had a major sale on upgrades and we had somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40 upgrades ordered....which is FANTASTIC!! I can't stress how important upgrades can be in identifying accurate matches...especially for the folks who have only tested 12 markers.

I'm hoping to have some time in the near future to take care of a couple housekeeping items. One is to put some guards in place to prevent the bot activity on the forums and in the lineages underway section...it's about to drive me nuts. Also, I'm going to take a hard look at what I need to do to the results table to display all 67 markers instead of just limiting it to 37. No promises on when but know that these items are definitely on my radar!

On to the results pages!
