10/09/2009: DNA Developments during the Past Two Weeks

 

We have had yDNA test results come back from the lab over the past two weeks for the following participants: 161129, 156530, 160833 and 156136.  The yDNA of 161129 did not match any of our existing families or participants, so he was put into Haplogroup I Singletons.  Kit number 156530 was already in Group 16 and he continued to match Group 16 at a higher number of markers.  Kit number 160833 turned out to match Group 57, one of our new groups.  Kit number 156136 is our first participant to order a new panel of markers available from FTDNA that tests 9 Ancestry.com markers.  He ordered this panel so he could more closely compare his yDNA to the yDNA of a participant who tested through Ancestry.com.  156136 now matches ANC11 on 42 out of 43 markers, indicating they are probably related within 200 to 300 years, and possibly much closer.
