Van Hook Surname DNA Project
- Y-DNA Classic Chart
For genealogy within the most recent fifteen generations, STR markers help define paternal lineages. Y-DNA STR markers change (mutate) often enough that most men who share the same STR results are will also share a recent paternal lineage. This page displays Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) STR results for the project. It uses the classic format.
The columns display each project member’s kit number, paternal ancestry information according to project settings, the paternal tree branch (haplogroup), and actual STR marker results. The color coding of STR marker names is explained here. In the haplogroups column, haplogroups in green are confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red are predicted.
You may learn more about Y-DNA STRs on the Understanding Y-DNA STRs learning page.
* Haplogroups in green have been confirmed by
SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have been predicted
by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the individual's personal
page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease and convenience. Please
note that for any predicted results we see no reason for ordering a SNP test to
confirm the Haplogroup. If a "-" is in the HAPLO field then we feel that the comparative
results are not clear and unambiguous and if the kit holder wants to know their
SNP with 100% confidence they may consider ordering a SNP confirmation test.
