Number of unique lines: 57
I've recently restructured how I display the results out of technical necessity and also to expand the table to 67 markers for project members who tested to that level through Family Tree DNA. Doing so required many changes, and I expect there may be some broken links. If you find one, please let me know.
I also restructured the table to keep like haplogroups closer together. I'm having a lot of problems right now because we have so many R1b1b2 Gilbert lines whose markers are very similar. Trying to find matches can be difficult, so it's easier having the similar modal haplotypes closer together.

Updates...
03/17/2010 - Adding the results for Kit 171554 who represents yet another unique R1b1b2 line with roots in Ohio and New Jersey.
03/11/2010 - Adding the results for Kit ANC020 who represents another unique R1b1b2 line with roots in Alabama, Georgia and West Virginia.
03/02/2010 - Adding the results for Kit 170947 who represents a
unique R1b1b2 line with roots in Nottingham, England.
02/15/2010 - Adding the results for Kit 165176 who appears to belong to a
Windham line genetically.
02/18/2010 - Adding the results for Kit 169990 who is helping to establish a baseline for the Laurens Co., SC Gilbert line.
02/08/2010 - Adding the results for Kit 170217 who carries the Johnson surname, but is a solid match with the John Gilbert of Taunton, MA line. Interestingly, this is a British Johnson line. Also adding Kit 126366 for a Thomas gentleman who is also a good match with the Taunton line. We'll need to do more work to figure out if these are NPEs or simply connections pre-dating the use of surnames.
01/27/2010 - Adding the results for ANC019 who matches the Braintree line, but the research runs into a brick wall in North Carolina.
Explanation of the table....
What you see in the table is the Y-DNA results of Gilbert project participants. The string of numbers for each participant represent the "marker values" for the DNA markers indicated in the column headers. What we look for are strings of numbers that match each other, or nearly match each other, to determine family relationships. In general (and this is very general), DNA results are considered to be match when they are the same on at least 34 out of 37 markers.
The Gilbert paternal lineages of each participant may be viewed by clicking on the Kit Number of the participant. Please note these lineages are provided by the researchers and are not verified by the project administrator. Also note that the table does not include all markers for all tests provided by all test companies in an attempt to keep things manageable. Purely numeric Kit IDs indicate testing that was performed by Family Tree DNA. Non-numeric kit IDs are other companies.
Table Notes:
- Fast-moving markers are shown in red. These
markers are believed to mutate more readily/frequently than the others.
- Haplogroups in blue are predicted by FTDNA, while ones in
green have been confirmed with testing.
- Most Distant Ancestors in the teal color reflect lines that
have incurred or are suspected to have incurred a Non-Paternity Event (NPE)
which is an adoption, illegitimacy, infidelity or
name change that caused the surname to not reflect the genetic identity of the
line.
- ? Most Distant Ancestors preceded with a question mark reflect
lines where the DNA results did not confirm the research. This could
be due to a hiccup in the research or due to a
Non-Paternity Event in the line.
