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.
For people who test through Ancestry.com, you must convert certain values to have an apples-to-apples comparison with Family Tree DNA values which is the standard I use for the table. A link for doing the conversions is here.

Updates...
10/29/2011 - Adding the results for Kit 216632 who is another
match to the Braintree line, but doesn't know the
connection just yet. The branch settled in Clark Co., IL having come
through Indiana.
09/22/2011 - Adding the results for Kit 211853 who matches Kit
ANC019 as was expected based on researcher. This
Gilbert line is also close to the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype and has many
matches even out to the
37 marker level.
08/22/2011 - Adding the results for Kit 209033 who is a
descendant of a Gilbert line from Sevier Co., TN. Surprisingly,
he represents yet another new Gilbert line. Adding additional
markers for Kit H1048 who has joined
the Family Tree DNA project from DNA Heritage.
05/26/2011 - Adding the results for Kit N97469 who is our first
participant from Moldova. Adding the results for
Kits ANC021 and ANC022 who are known relatives, and whose DNA places them
in the Thomas
Gilbert of Braintree line, although the connection is not known.
Adding the results for Kit 198668
who is a Strickland, but whose line was historically rumored to be a Gilbert
Non-Paternity Event
with the Edward Gilbert of NC line. His DNA proved this to be true.
Adding the results for Kit 63393
which is a Stillwell line representing a Garvis Gilbert line NPE.
His results match the Garvis baseline
on 66 of 67 markers.
04/05/2011 - Adding the results for Kit 198754 who represents as
a southern branch of the Matthew Gilbert of
New Haven, CT line and also the results for Kit 198413 who represents another unique Gilbert line.
03/07/2011 - Adding a previous participant's results as tested through FTDNA now. (Kit 196731)
03/03/2011 - Adding a page for the ancestry of SMGF003 who
matches the Joseph Hiram Gilbert line.
02/11/2011 - Adding the results for Kit 191131 who does NOT
match his second cousin already tested. As an NPE was suspected in
his
cousin's line, however, this is not a surprise. Kit 191131 does
match, however, a French-Canadian Guillemette line. This
raises the possibility of a name change somewhere along the way.
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.
