As we near the end of 2012, we have more than 80 Kidd male participants in our Kidd Y-DNA study. Over the past five years, we have discovered new branches of the family and linked other branches to each other through Y-DNA testing.
If you are a Kidd male of direct descent through a Kidd parternal line, now is a great time to join our study group. Through Dec 31, 2012, our host at
www.familytreedna.com has promotional offers on Y-DNA tests, both upgrades and for new participants.
Please visit their website or email me directly at
skkidd@bellsouth.net for details. Please be sure to join through the Kidd study by clicking on the Join Request tab at
www.familytreedna.com/public/Kidd in order to be registered in our family group. I am available to help you place an order if you need assistance.
We continue to make progress in testing additional branches of the Kidd Y-DNA tree. If you would like to know if your branch has been tested, please visit the website and click on Y-Results, or email me at
skkidd@bellsouth.net.
If you are a Kidd male who has not yet tested your own DNA, please consider joining us. And if you have older Kidd relatives, please consider sponsoring a test for one of them for the Y-DNA study. (I have sponsored my brother, and this is a great way that our female Kidds can support Y-DNA testing).
And DNA testing makes a wonderful Christmas gift!
