About us
Project begins on 30 March 2007 with two R1b haplotype Colson members.
New Coulson member, with I1 Norse haplotype, joins this study on 18 May 2007.
This project welcomes Donald Coulson to the study. His sample was received by FTDNA on 7 August 2007.
Y-STR37 results are in for Donald Coulson. This represents an R1b 24/10 line that is unrelated to the Adam Colson line. Donald Coulson shows greatest similarity with a Logan and Curray found at YSearch. The Curray has suspected ancestry in Durham County, England. The Logan surname, along with the Colston surname, show highest density in East Lothian, Scotland, while the Coulson surname shows the highest density in nearby Northumberland, England (especially the area of Hexham).
New Colston member, with English I2a* Western haplotype, joins this study on 5 February 2008.
James Coulson, with an Atlantic Modal Haplotype, joins this study on 22 March 2008.
Steven D. Colson joins this study on 20 October 2008. He fits within the I1 Norse sub-group, but he is unrelated to the existing I1 Norse member, V. Maurice Coulson. Steve has researched his Bertie Co., NC Colson lineage and wondered if he is related to the Weymouth, MA Colsons. This study found YDNA results, for a descendant of the Weymouth Colsons, at SMGF. Comparison of these results prove that Steve is unrelated to the Weymouth Colsons. Please see the Weymouth Colson results at http://www.ysearch.org/search_view.asp?uid=VADTG&viewuid=VADTG&p=1
There is a unique Coulson line descended from James Coulson of Newcastle on Tyne, England. The individual that tested with FTDNA will not cooperate with this study, but his publicly posted results at YSearch are as follows (12 marker FTDNA order): 13, 25, 14, 11, 11, 14, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 29.
New 12 marker results are posted for our newest member, Scott Coulson, on 29 January 2009. He represents another unique lineage from the R1b Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype. He shows a perfect 12 out of 12 match (SMGF data) with a descendant of John Coulson b. 1663 in Warwickshire, England. I have posted the John Coulson data as YSearch User JZ6YX. On 8 February 2009, Scott's 37 marker data came in, which indicates no possible relationship to the descendant of John Coulson. He is nearest to a Condra and Wright with known Southern U.S. ancestry.
We welcome Gregory Alvin Colston with his new results that posted 2 Novemeber 2009.
This study welcomes the July 2010 37 marker results for John Collson of Elmira, NY.
On 2 December 2010 results were reported for Lonnie Colson, our newest member. He has his nearest matches with the Watts and Mabery families from the British Isles. Their shared R1b haplotypes are found in the R-L48 haplogroup which is downstream of the SNP U-106. He has an excellent Colson genealogy website at http://lonniecolson.com/interests-genealogy.html.
Our newest member is John Robin Colson of ENGLAND. As of January 2012, his 37 marker results indicate that we have another unique haplotype that is unrelated to existing members in this study. He has tested positive for the R-U106 haplogroup. His nearest Y-DNA matches are with Shaw and Little surnamed patriarchs in England.
On 23 March 2012 our newest member, William E. Colson, received his 37 marker test results. His family traces their ancestry back to David H. Colson b. 1812 in the Cumberland Gap region of the United States. William's 37 marker results indicate that he is unexpectedly related to another study participant, Steven Douglas Colson. They are a genetic distance of two out of 37 markers and it therefore appears that David H. Colson is most likely the grandson of John Colson of Bertie Co., NC.
On 4 November 2012, Harold Colson joined this study with his new order for the 37 marker test. Searching the Internet, it appears that Harold is descended from William Colson of Perquimans County, NC. We are looking forward to Harold's test results and hope that we can find a connection to one of our existing known Colson lineages. On 6 December 2012, Harold's 37 marker test results were reported. He represents yet another unique Colson lineage. His nearest FTDNA match is with a Knowles at a genetic distance of 4 out of 37 markers.
We are pleased to have Robert Coalson join the study with his unique Coalson R1b lineage. To date, this study shows that most in our study are found within haplogroup R1b. It would be beneficial to have these R1b men order the Deep Clade test to pin down their exact haplogroup.
