October 7, 2018
Test results for Acrey089, our first participant to descend from Isaac Acree (c1735-c1820) of Warren Co. NC, did not match those of the Virginia Acrees, who descend patrilineally from Isaac s father, William Acree (c1710-1767) of Hanover Co. VA. Acrey089 presumably inherited his surname from his great-grandmother, rather than from his great-grandfather, who had a different surname.
September 14, 2018
Test results for Acord086, a descendant of Cornelius Acord (aka Cronamus Acre) of Maryland, did not match those of other project participants, but they do match those of three non-participants who also descend from Cornelius, so his ancestral haplotype has been established.

The 450 new Y-STR markers that the FTDNA firm now tests in combination with its "Big-Y" (Y-SNP) offering (adding to the already-available 111 Y-STRs) were tested free of charge for previously-tested Big-Y customers, including thirteen of our Project participants. Few differentiating Y-STRs were discerned among the 450 possibilities - only three for the Virginia Acrees and three for the Maryland Acrees. Revealing nothing new about our relationships, they are currently excluded from the Project Test Results webpage.

NC. Testing additional markers solidified the match.
