?Greetings to all R-S16264s. Thank for joining our new group and thank you to Edward for setting it up. I hope you and your families have come through the recent very strange years safely. Like many others I and my close family have all had Covid but all have thankfully recovered.

Edward and I decided to restart the group as we think it is important to keep in communication even though the pace of developments in learning more about our DNA family is extremely slow. We remain a very small group of proven S16264 related people. A few more distant S16264s and cousins who have been found by FTDNA testing (more of that to follow in another note). FTDNA‘s revised privacy rules (and maybe the testers personal preferences) make it extremely difficult to find out more about them and to invite them to join us. Fewer new testers are joining DNA Projects with ‘public’ access to their Results pages so we can not easily take the initiative to find and contact them.

One way for us to learn more of our S16264 family histories is to share information on new DNA Matches. Any new Y25, Y37, Y67, Y111 or BigY matches are potentially of interest. Please check. If you have any new matches since say 2016 please contact them and invite them to join our group. Also please let us know that you have these matches.

It is good to be in contact again. I will send an e-mail on known S16264 developments later in the week.

Best wishes

Nigel
