Test results have been received for three new project participants. Two of these new members, Robert Earl Dennis and Chester Dennis, have been added to Dennis Family Group 3. The third new participant, Robert Keith Dennis, has a genetic match with Robert Wayne Dennis, a current member of the Unassigned Group. This is fantastic news, and a new group, Dennis Family Group 7, has been created for these two project participants. All family group pages and Relationship Charts have been updated to reflect the new information.

A special thanks goes to Eileen Davis for the first donation to our project's General Fund. Eileen said that she believes in the importance of the project and strongly encourages others to make donations if at all possible. Her cousin is a member of Family Group 6, and the donation was made in memory of their earliest known Dennis ancestor, John W. Dennis (born about 1825 in PA).
 

Website Redesign Completed

E-mail Print PDF
The redesign for the Dennis Surname DNA Project website is finally complete and the site is live. In addition to an entirely new look for the project's web presence, there are several new features. A "News & Updates" section has been added that will contain general project news along with updates on new participants, genetic matches, family groups, etc. The Family Group pages have been redesigned to make them more user friendly. The color coding on the test results charts has been improved and matching color coding has been added to the PDF Relationship Charts. A "Donate" page has been added requesting donations to the project's general fund.

One new interactive feature is the project blog. It will be updated regularly with articles concerning DNA testing and genetic genealogy. There will be topics such as the benefits of testing, success stories from project members, and new advances in genetic technology. There will also be articles dealing with traditional genealogy research. Visitors will have the ability to comment on the articles and participate in ongoing discussions.

Last but not least is the new project logo!!

Be sure to check out the first blog entry on the state of the project and the new site design. I would love to hear your comments on the site's new design and layout. Enjoy!
