The FTDNA Christmas sale has now begun and runs to December 31st. They have done away with all the special vouchers this year so the offer is quite simple. The tests most relvant to the Warburton Project are:
Y37 at $99, normally $149 when ordered through the project, or £169 full price. You could get an equivalent test at YSEQ for $84, but then the results wouldn’t be incorporated into the Warburton project results page.
BigY500 at $499, normally $649.
For more information of Y-chromosome DNA testing see my DNA Project page, and in particular the first two linked papers:

Susan North sent me the following photo of her grandmother with a request for information. I dug around and put the results on the Miscellaneous Photos page., and have copied it here as well.
This photo was sent to me by Susan North. It is of her paternal grandmother Emily Ryder nee Warburton b 1878, together with her eldest son Harry and and two others, yet to be identified.
Emily was born in Bury, one of 9 children of George Thomas (Thomas) Warburton and Dorothy nee Haslem of the Cardiff and Bury family. I believe this makes her the great great aunt of Sam Warburton the ex-Wales rugby captain.
She married Susan’s grandfather Richard/Harry Ryder around 1916.
My recent work on the Edenfield clan, which is still not finished, has resulted in a number of updates to my spreadsheets of the Haslingden parish records. Then recently Stephen Carr has brought a couple of things to my attention.…
I recently posted Pam Lofthouse’s plea for information on her great grandfather Samuel. I decided to do a bit more digging and came up with the following: The evidence we have of Samuel’s age is that he was 60 when…
