Arterburn DNA Project - Results

[Note:  FTDNA's "Y-DNA Results" chart pages do not display the

most recently confirmed Haplogroup for ARTERBURN.  See the

links for ISOGG Tree for Haplogroup R and R1a1a and Subclades

Y-DNA Project charts below, which are current.  FTDNA does

display the results of all SNPs tested for ARTERBURN on our

project's SNP page. 

Since the Haplogroup (SNP) of William's descendant(s) is identical

to that of Peter's descendant, testing of only one Y-DNA sample

—that of Peter's descendant (#67603)—will be necessary in the future  

for discovering new SNPs to more accurately define the ARTERBURN 

Haplogroup.  As more people are tested and as SNPs become

identified with geographic regions or locales, this may enable us

to more accurately pinpoint the Old World home(s) of our

ARTERBURN ancestors.]

The ARTERBURN Haplotype (STR) was identified and established by

the match of 34 of 37 STR markers of the Y-DNA of three documented 

descendants.  Three one-step mutations among descendants that are 

7-8 generations removed from William and Peter, which occurred on

markers known to be volatile and subject to change in comparison

with other more stable markers, is considered normal.  The Y-DNA

sample of Peter's descendant (#67603) has been expanded to

67 markers, which will improve the accuracy of future matches

for discovering our nearest genetic relatives, whether before or

since the era of surnames began.
