The Group 9 participant did indeed get upgraded to the Big Y DNA test and he is a Big Y DNA match to Group 9.
Here is the latest Big Y participants family tree.

If your Lock / Locke tree traces back to Devonshire, England 1600's - 1700's era, you might consider joining the Group 9 participants in being Big Y DNA tested. This is getting pretty exciting, the Locke DNA project now has multiple Lock / Locke branches who's family trees are not fully connected just yet, but with each Big Y test being completed, proving to be a genetic match, it is just a matter of time before the common male ancestor(s) are identified.
As far as genetic matches goes, it does not get any better of a genetic match then a Big Y 700 match. Anyone who wants to see the other part of this Lock tree, can do a search on William Buckingham Lock and find his family tree online. William Buckingham Lock's tree is related to the latest Big Y participants family tree that I just shared in this post.
