    Edgar Events Researching and sharing Edgar family history No. 19, August 2008 DNA Update by James Edgar (Editor) ([email protected]) At the risk of sounding like a bore, I’ll repeat my invitation from last issue — if you haven’t already become a member of our Edgar Group, go to this site dna.ancestry.com/welcome.aspx. Scroll to the bottom and search in DNA Groups for “Edgar.” You can request membership simply by clicking on the yellow button and follow the steps to obtain a MyFamily.com account (it’s free and painless). Re-capping the recent tests, we discovered that the two we thought were still to come were there all along (must be a senior’s moment!). They are Norman and Robin — both of whom fall into the group I or I1b. I’ve lumped together those people into one Haplogroup on the Web site. Haplogroup results: James Edgar of Thornhill – I Norman Edgar of Dumfries – I Robin Edgar of Moniaive – I1b Ian Edgar of Belfast – I1b Leslie Edgar of Maryport, England – I1b Tom Edgar of Kilkeel – R1b Colin Edgar of Saintfield – R1b Recognizing that some of these people don’t have Internet access, I printed out the results for them and sent them via snail-mail a short letter showing to whom they might be closely related. We received this delightful reply from Jim Edgar of Thornhill last week: “18th July 2009 Dear Jim, Thank you for the DNA samples received this morning.
