DNA Project
OK, folks, we're up and running!We have a Winder / Winders / Winter / Winters / Wynder DNA project just begun at Family Tree DNA with the DNA donation of Robert L. Winder. See http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Winder/http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Winder/ . Note: there are no results yet because 1) it takes a while to do the test, and 2) we need more donors to compare him to.
We have a really general problem at first, to definitely combine or split the various Winder branches we have found. So PLEASE, if you are a male with surname Winder/etc., please go to the site and order up a kit. Perhaps we will find that we all come from an Ur-Winder in Switzerland, who knows? And please make sure that I have your Winder pedigree as far back as you can determine.
More information about the markers and such will be on my website at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~annieron/Genetic%20Geneaology.htmhttp://homepages.rootsweb.com/~annieron/Genetic%20Geneaology.htm .
Please note: If you are not so fortunate as to be a male Winder, but are doing Winder research, you might want to contribute to the General Fund to subsidize those who have the right sort of DNA. Share the financial burden! Go to http://www.familytreedna.com/contribution.htmlhttp://www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html . The project name is Winder.
