   1. Group these in a single category for ease of use of the new My Connection button. Completed
2. Big Y Project
   1. Coordinate with Wikitree DNA Project - assign SNP to profile In progress
   2. Build presentation on how SNP's are assigned to people in progress
   3. Big Y700 sticker created see John Devlin
   4. Build Historic Irish Y Irish Tree - See Jaski Project.
   5. Build Clann structure Irish Clan List on going.
