What we've learned so far (7 Jun 2009):
We currently have 38 registered members.
15 members have mtDNA results. 5 of those with mtDNA results are women. Those results are shown on the mtDNA Results page. Since this a Surname Project (Y-DNA), Those members with mtDNA results are encouraged to also join the appropriate mtDNA Haplogroup Project. Membership is free and most projects have Administrators with considerable mtDNA analysis expertise.
28 members have Y-DNA DYS Test results (Haplotypes), shown on the Y-DNA Results page.
There the Haplotypes are assigned to an Estimated Haplogroup, by FTDNA, based on the DYS Test results and which is listed in Red on the Y-DNA page. The Haplogroup designation is changed to Green when verified by SNP test results.
The Haplotypes have been grouped in 16 separate “unrelated” GROUPS and an “Unassigned” GROUP by the OAK Project Administrators.
The member provided earliest know ancestor is shown following the members Kit #, followed by the estimated or verified Haplogroup.
The single OKS member is assigned to GROUP 16 and the 4 OCHS members are assigned to " unrelated" GROUPs 7, 11 and 14. ("unrelated" means the MRCA for two or more of these groups lived earlier than the genealogy time frame.)
The 4 members in the Unassigned GROUP are here awaiting assignment to the appropriate Surname Project, when that becomes known or available.
All members with Y-DNA results are urged to upload those results to Ysearch and those with mtDNA results are urged to upload those results to Mitosearch. These are databases, open to the general public and are the best way to find DNA matches with persons tested at companies other than FTDNA. If you have questions about Ysearch or Mitosearch, contact either of the Project Administrators.
We urge you to upload a GEDCOM to FTDNA, Ysearch and Mitosearch. Without this family tree information, both, you and the other genetic genealogy searchers are deprived of a significant benefit of being a project member. If the GEDCOM development and upload is a problem for you, the Administrators would be happy to assist.
As you may know, This Project, hosted by FTDNA at no cost and administered by volunteers, is limited to FTDNA customers. There have been enquiries made about FTDNA reconsidering that position and making provisions for including members who have tested with other companies. That does not appear to be happening anytime in the near future.
At this time, Ysearch, also provided at no cost by FTDNA to the pubic, is the best way to search for DNA matches with persons tested at other Labs.
SMGF (Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation) Lab is another source to research potential Y-DNA and mtDNA matches. (http://www.smgf.org/)
The 16 Y-DNA GROUPS are populated by members who show a probability of having a common ancestor in the genealogical time period.
Group 001
These kits are in the R1b Haplogroup, which is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This GROUP is also the Haplogroup containing the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (AMH).
These two kits match 12/12, 25/25 and 36/37, each having the rare null at marker DYS 439. The allele of 12, currently recorded, will be changed to 0, in the near future. The actual value is probably 12, however, there appears to be a SNP very close to DYS 439, which prevents measurement. FTDNATip statistics show a 36/37 match as having a 97.21% probability of a common ancestor in the last 12 generations.

DeepSNP-R1b test results confirm Y-Haplogroup R1b1b2 for Kit # 63167 (M173+ M207+ M269+ M343+ P25+ M126- M153- M160- M18- M222- M37- M65- M73- P66- SRY2627-).
Kit# N46799, tested by the Genographic Project for 12 markers and updated to 67 by FTDNA, is a Genetic Distance of 4, at 67 markers, from Kit# 63167. Grouping these kits in Lineage 5 is due to the fact that the GD was only 1 at 37 markers and both ancestors migrated to the VA area.

Kit# 34795 has Deep I1 SNP Tests (M170+ M253+ M258+ M307+ P19+ P30+ P38+ M161- M21- M223- M227- M26- M72- P37.2-), confirming Haplogroup I1. It can be safely assumed that Kit#s 38727, 38724, 38723 and 38726 are also I1. Kit#s 34795 and 38724 are 3rd cousins with, 67/67 matches, confirming the 67 markers back to their common gg-grandfather, John(3) Oakes b. 1802 VT.
The Haplotypes of this GROUP display markers that are in I1 clusters that have been identified with Anglo-Saxon origin and distinctly different from Nordic (Viking) I1 clusters.
Kit# N41413, with the 66/67 match is in this cluster. The earliest ancestor of this member resided, as an adult, only 12 miles from where a son of the same name resided with the earliest ancestor of the other members of this GROUP.

The one member has been tested for 67 markers, has no close matches in the OAK Project and is estimated in Haplogroup R1b1b2. The Y-Results table does not show the Haplogroup R1b1b2 prediction because the nearest match in the FTDNA database, with a SNP confirmed R1b1b2, is at a Genetic Distance of 2 markers from this Kit.

Glossary of Genetic Terminoloogy.
Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS)
The mitochondrial DNA first sequenced in 1981 is used as a basis for comparison with mtDNA test results.
Haplogroup
A genetic population group associated with early human migrations and which can today be associated with a geographic region. It is important to note that even though mtDNA and Y-DNA Haplogroups may have the same letter names, their definitions are different.
Haplotype
One person's set of values for the markers that have been tested. Two individuals that match exactly on all markers have the same haplotype.
Hypervariable Region (HVR)
One of two regions commonly used in mitochondrial DNA tests which does not code for any known function.
Mitochondria
A specific organelle in the cell that helps it to produce energy.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
The genetic material found in mitochondria. It is passed down from females to both sons and daughters, but sons do not pass down their mother's mtDNA to their children.
Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA)
The ancestor shared most recently between two individuals.
Mutation
A heritable change that occurs in genetic material. It may lead to a different number of repeats of a certain sequence or a change in one of the bases in a sequence.
Short Tandem Repeat (STR)
A short DNA motif (pattern) repeated in tandem. ATGC repeated eleven times would give the marker a value or allele of 11.
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP)
A change in the DNA that happens when a single nucleotide (A, T, G, or C) in the genome sequence is altered. A person has many SNPs that together create a unique DNA pattern for that individual.
