THANKS to Woodward DNA study participants!
I would like to thank everyone who has ever participated in the Woodward/Woodard DNA study project through FamilyTreeDNA.Many of you already have excellent paper trails back to your immigrant ancestor, but you generously contributed your DNA to the study anyway.You cannot know how much this is appreciated by someone who has had a brick wall of 40 years, and it is only 4 generations back.
Recently a cousin of mine agreed to participate in the study.We now know which immigrant's line our family belongs to, thanks to other participants, and although I can't yet make the exact connection, I have some promising clues to follow up on.
If you are eligible to participate in this study but haven't yet, I encourage you to do so.Just google "Woodward/Woodard DNA" and contact the project coordinator.And thank you!
