Attention Surname Project Administrators! Your help is needed. Please help increase our knowledge of Y-STR
haplotype mutation rates. Post your surname project's observed mutation rate data and share your project success
stories in the comments field. Posting here will increase your project visibility and help find new distant cousins
willing to join. Some male line haplotypes seem to mutate significantly faster than others.
Share what you have observed in your genetic genealogy project in regards to the observed YSTR average haplotype mutation
rate for your surname. Contribute your project's data to this Log. Read the Log to see which surnames have the fastest observed mutation rates
and which have significantly lower observed mutation rates and which are average. Thank you.
Submitting an entry from your surname project is not hard to do. It is simple genealogy, arithmetic, and a bit of logic.
However, if you do not wish to do the detailed submission data entry form yourself following the protocol and instructions
outlined below, simply send me the two things listed below as an email file attachment and I will do the input form for you.
1. Text or Word file showing the genealogical Descent Tree from the direct male line Mmost Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for the group of related males tested, per this example:
Descent Tree/Report - Text Outline Format.
2. Cut and paste and prune an Excel data table from your FTDNA surname project for the cluster/sub-group of related males tested with allele data rows sorted in the descent tree birth order
of descent tree outline chart described in item 1 just above, per this Excel table example:
Cut and pasted related cluster from downloaded Excel spreadsheet from classic table in your Group Admin Page.
Add your Surname Project Observed Y-STR Mutation Rate Data to the Log Database.
Submission Protocol Details: Read Below the Four Simple Requirements and Information Needed to Join This Project.
Please Print Out and Review Off Line if Necessary.
1. FIRST, and very IMPORTANT to this project. Via traditional genealogy research you must know that the males
submitted to this log are related to a common direct male line ancestor and how they are related to that ancestor.
It is assumed that a person submitting data to this log is a hobby genealogist or has some genealogical experience from
doing prior genealogy or family history research. You must know
the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) from
traditional paper trail research. You should be able to provide the lineage information for each person tested to
the Most Recent Common Ancestory (MRCA) for the related group. You should be able provide the lineage information from the
males tested to the MRCA.
Here are some example formats to send me the lineage information:
a. Descent Tree/Report from Genealogy Software - Text or RTF file printed in Outline style
b. Descent Tree/Chart - Hand Drawn Block Diagram or Block Diagram Drawn using Excel or other Software
c. Descent Tree from the MRCA Prepared with Word Processor
A "pruned" rich text file (.RTF) or simple text file (.TXT) typed by hand similar to the Outline style shown in "a." above.
You could also provide the information as a modified register report in RTF format which shows the relationship from the MRCA for all the direct male line descendant lines
to participants in the surname project who are part of the genealogically related cluster of males' data being
submitted to this log. Keep the report clean and simple. Only show lines to people tested and known to be related to
the MRCA by traditional evidence and verified by the YDNA tests. Do not show spouses in the above type reports.
Do not show lines from the daughters of the MRCA and or daughters in subsequent branches. Only males have Y-DNA. Only
show the direct male lines on the descent tree. For living people use their kit number in the block for the
individual tested or the term father of kit number ____, if applicable, for making this simple genealogical
relationship descent tree. The tree chart does not have to be neat or fancy. If you do not have a genealogy computer
program to help you do this, the report or chart can be hand drawn and/or scanned into a standard JPG or GIF graphics file
and emailed to me or surface mailed to me by postal mail. Some people have provided this direct male line descent tree
from the MRCA down to each related cluster member tested in
GEDCOM file format. If you wish to use that method, that is fine too. But if you send a GEDCOM, please do trim
out all the superfluous female descent lines and non-relevant siblings of the males in the direct male lines. With most
GEDCOM utilities and options the spouses need to be included to generate the GEDCOM. That is OK. I can trim them out when
I get the GEDCOM. But only the direct male line descendants from the MRCA and their links to the MRCA should be
in the GEDCOM file submitted to me. Do not include male lines not tested or the lines of daughters, etc.
2. SECOND, the Genetic Genealogy data must confirm and not disprove the relationships you know from traditional research.
Your project's genetic genealogy Y-DNA testing data must be reinforcing the traditional research evidence. In
general as a rule of thumb that would mean that at least 90% of the YSTR markers allele values match exactly in the
marker set tested and/or that the Genetic Distances calculated between the various related participants in your project
or cluster of males's data is roughly 6 or less for the YSTR67 marker haplotype test or 4 or less for the YSTR37 marker
haplotype test for the males being submitted to the log which trace their line to the MRCA.
These GD guidelines are rules of thumb and not set in concrete. If you
know step one above accurately then I am willing to help you determine whether a GD you are observing in your group
of related males is plausible given what we know about
mutation rates today in various male lines observed todate.
You would exclude the data submitted and from the chart (or duly note on the chart) any male lines who had Y-DNA surprises
where the related cousin's haplotypes should have closely matched but didn't even come close to a match, especially if the
males are in completely different haplogroups or different major sub-clades of a haplogroup. This happens in about 5% of
the projects I've been involved with over the last six plus years. It even happened in my own early Kerchner Surname Project
to a 5th cousin in my Kerchner project who was not even in the same haplogroup as the other participants. So do not feel
alone or embarrassed when this happens. Surprises and hidden skeletons exist in many family lines awaiting to be discovered
by we genealogists. :-) But for scientific reasons that particular individual's data cannot be included
in with this log data since the participant's must be confirmed to be recently related via the traditional genealogy evidence
AND the new genetic genealogy YSTR marker evidence.
3. THIRD, you must have at least three males in the related group which have been tested for 37 or more markers who
share a Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) forming a descent tree from the MRCA that is at least five generations or more deep on one branch or more. In
other words the MRCA must be the great-great-grandfather or deeper ancestor of one of the people tested in the group submitted.
Not everyone in this group or cluster submitted has to be in the gg-grandson generation or more distant descendant from the MRCA, but at least one of the males tested
must be the gg-grandson or more distant descendant from the MRCA. This project is studying deeper ancestry related gennealogy project type groups. It is
not a father-son or grandfather-father-son type of study. Again, not all the lines who are related in the group must be deep relationships,
but at least one descent line must be at least as deep as the gg-grandson generation from the MRCA.
3. And FOURTH, you must have enough data to be able to deduce the ancestral haplotype by the Triangulation Method for
the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for your project, or a cluster or group
within your genetic genealogy Surname Project. If you've done
steps one and two above, or can do steps one and two above, I can help you with this fourth step. I will need from you a copy
of your project's YSTR/YDNA haplotype test results Excel data table for
the cluster/group being submitted from the project in Excel file format with the Deduced Ancestral Haplotype edited into the table as per the
example data table. If you have any mutations, to deduce the ancestral haplotype, in general, you will need to have tested
at least three males with independent, but known, lines of descent from the MRCA. If you can't make an Excel table and
don't have a webpage with the haplotype data table in it, you can create a basic haplotype data table via your entry records
into Ysearch.org or a similar public database source. Here is an example of a haplotype table created using Ysearch.org
research record comparison tools:
Example Haplotype Table Prepared Using Ysearch.org Research Tools.
Important Note: I can help you with genetic genealogy decisions and determinations regarding steps 2 and 4, and/or even help in
deducing the ancestral haplotype and preparing the edited Excel file or table from your main YSTR data table, but only you can provide
the necessary traditional genealogical relationships information and the descent tree/chart needed for requirement 1 and 3.
In short, do you have three or more people in your surname project who you know descend from the same great-great-grandfather, or
even ggggg-grandfather, and have been YDNA tested for 37 markers or more? If so, then even with that few a number of related people
as a sub-cluster in your overall surname project, you can join this project. And I encourage you to do so. Your data submission is
important to this new field. You will help all genetic genealogists learn more about mutation rates. And I am here to help you
through the process. Many have told me afterwards that doing this submission was an excellent learning experience for them in
better understanding the results of their project. So if you have the necessary data, give it a try.

Comments: The first recorded presence of this family line in the Black Forest district in Württemberg was Conrad Ysenhart who appeared on a property owner’s list in the village of Dachtel in 1471. The direct ancestors of Andreas Eisenhart I can be traced back through baptism records to 1534. Two of Andreas I’s grandsons, Andreas II and George, immigrated to the colony of Pennsylvania in the 1750s. Their descendants make up the majority of the Eisenharts, Eisenhards and Isenharts living in the U. S. today, although it is known that both other early immigrants as well as 19th Century immigrants also contributed to the surname descendant pool.

Oloron was a mere 50KM from Aragon (Spain). Little is known about what his activities were in the military. In 1708 he married Marie Charlotte Vandandaigue, daughter of Josse Vandandaigue, immigrant to New France from the Brabant, Spanish Netherlands.

Comments: Inch Island is in Lough Swilly, west of the Innishowen peninsula of county Donegal, Ireland. Much of what is known about James Ewing of Inch Island is documented in Chapter 41 of Margaret Ewing Fife's book, Ewing in Early America, the text of which is posted in the Ewing Reading Room on the website of Clan Ewing at www dot ClanEwing dot org. There, Mrs. Fife lists the men she believes to have been his sons, along with chapter references for discussions of their families in the same book. Inch Island is easy walking distance from the townland of Carnashannagh, where the progenitor of Ewing Group 4 originated, and people from both of these places were members of the Burt (Presbyterian) Congregation, an old register of which is the source for much of our information. Excerpts of this register are also posted on the website of Clan Ewing.

Comments: John Ewing of Carnashannagh immigrated to Pennsylvania as a very old man with many of his descendants, most of whom relocated shortly afterward to Frederick County, Virginia, and some of whom are buried in a private cemetery in Stephens City, Virginia. We think perhaps John Ewing of Carnashannagh himself may be buried there, but do not know that for a fact. Carnashannagh is a townland in the parish of Fahan, county Donegal, Ireland on the Inishowen peninsula between Londonderry town and Inch Island, and is only a short way from Inch Island, where James Ewing, the progenitor of Ewing Group 3 is thought to have lived. The family of John Ewing of Carnashannagh is documented in Chapter 11 of Margaret Ewing Fife's book, Ewing in Early America, the text of which is posted in the Ewing Reading Room on the website of Clan Ewing at www dot ClanEwing dot org. A well-documented genealogy of the first five generations of John Ewing of Carnashannagh is also posted in the Ewing Genealogy Documentation (EGD) Project section of the same website.

Comments: We are not even certain of the name of William? Ewing b. c1665, and have only just estimated his date of birth based on the date of birth of his eldest son, Nathaniel Ewing b. 1693. We do have a fair amount of information about Nathaniel and his six half-siblings, which is documented in Margaret Ewing Fife's book, Ewing in Early America, the text of which is posted in the Reading Room of the website of Clan Ewing at www dot ClanEwing dot org. The chapters of interest are 24 through 29 and 31. Based on DNA evidence, we believe John Ewing of Chapter 31 to be an adopted son, but Mrs. Fife did not know this. One of the five men in this group is descended from Nathaniel, and two each from two of his half-brothers. Two descendants of John Ewing of Chapter 31 have haplotypes consistent with their relationship to one another, but completely dissimilar to the other men in this group.

Most of what we know about William Ewing of Rockingham County, Virginia, is set out in Chapter 32 of Margaret Ewing Fife's book, Ewing in Early America, the text of which is posted on the website of Clan Ewing at www dot ClanEwing dot org. Evidently, sometimes he spelled his name "Ewin" and sometimes "Ewing," and he has descendants with both of these spellings. Of the three men for whom we have Y-DNA results, two are descended through his son Henry b. 1736, grandson Henry b. 1763 and great grandson William b. c1793. They use the spelling, "Ewin." The third man on whom we have results is descended through William of Rockingham's son Andrew b. 1740 and uses the spelling, Ewing.

Comments: Joseph Vick was probably born in England. He lived in Lower Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and he died in Isle of Wight County, Virginia before 1704. The book "Joseph Vick of Lower Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia and His Descendants: Volume I," by John Beatty and Di Ann Vick, is an excellent reference for the first five generations. He had five known sons all of whom have living male patrilineal line descendants. We have at least two descendants from each of the sons in our project.

Comments: George Athy was born in 1642 in Galway, Ireland, and died in 1709 in Prince Georges Co, MD. He apparently had three sons, and each is represented in the project with descendants, allowing an unambiguous reconstruction of the ancestral haplotype. The haplotype is very rare, so any close match would probably indicate a relationship.

Comments: Albert and Arent Andriessen, brothers, are the first known Bradts. We deduce the father was Andries by the patrilineal name Andriessen (son of Andries), a usage common in Norway at the time. Bradt was only used as a last name after about 1660 in New York colony. The brothers were born in Norway, left for Amsterdam at some point, and from there to Rensselaerswyck (a patroonship in what became the Albany, NY area) in 1637. All known members of the Bradt family are descended from the 2 brothers, the sons of Andries. Although Haplogroup I is an estimate, all the markers in this family support the supposition that we are I1a.

Comments: The earliest known ancestor was William Worden b. 1500 in Lancashire, England. His son was Robert and his son, Peter I, came to America with his son, Peter II, in 1637/8. Goal 1 was to determine if all the Wordens in America are related; they are not. Goal 2 is to try to help various Worden families determine from which of Samuel's sons they descend (i.e., close the gaps). Goal 3 now is to establish if and how other men who may have different surnames but who match the Worden haplotype and can trace their origins to Lancashire or nearby align with the William> Robert> Peter> Peter lineage. Note: This group has documented independent parallel mutations at marker CDYa in three independent lines of descent from the MRCA.

Comments: The Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for my Kerchner line is Frederick Kerchner, born 1750 in Pennsylvania. He was the only son of the immigrant named Adam Kerchner who arrived in colonial PA in 1741. Fortunately for my surname project Frederick had several sons, a few of whom have living male line descendants. Thus I was able to deduce the Ancestral Haplotype (AH) by the Triangulation Method. For more on my surname project see: Kerchner Surname Project Success Stories.

Comments: The Barlow and Goff families are inextricably connected due to the lore of an early ancestor of the Goff family being born a Barlow, orphaned and then taken in by the Goff family. DNA corroborates this story. The Barlow and Goff researchers have worked closely to find the precise connection between the families, which remains elusive. Part of this effort has been to test as many participants as possible for 67 markers. The above two results are for participants in the Barlow DNA Project.
