About us

We currently have 35 completed Big Y tests.  These 35 tests all share SNP BY32645, and at this point all share the same ancestor.  Pam and I think this probably represents Henry Long born 1650.  There are 19 of us currently stuck on this step, with 16 moving down to BY40685.  


We think it is possible that BY40685 represents Henry Long Jr, oldest son of Henry Long born 1650.  The reason for this belief is because one is of the Franklin line, who is believed to be descended from Henry, Jr.  This is only a guess, and could change as more tests are completed. 


Everyone who shares BY40685 descends from the same person.  The 19 of us still at BY32645 do not share the person who formed SNP BY40685, showing that we are descended from a different person, a different son or grandson of Henry Long of 1650.  Of the 16 who moved down to BY40685, only one person is still on this step - the Franklin line.  


Then step, BY40685, splits.  There are 9 who have moved down to BY40755/BY40771.  Those 9 share the same ancestor.  Then 3 of those moved down to BY108381/BY130988/BY196193.


There are 6 who moved down from BY40685 to BY165815.  Those 6 share the same ancestor.

As more people test, new steps will be formed and more of us will move down.  We currently have 2 who have ordered Big Y-700 tests during the current sale.
