Currently we have 37 marker results posted for all six of our members! Four of our participants match each other closely. A fifth member is more distantly connected, but the most recent set of results for our sixth participant have helped to link these two Wark groups, strengthening the connection between the six Wark males that have results at this time.

Participant results indicate that these Wark lines originate in Western Europe. These are exactly the results we were looking for since these lines are genealogically from the British Isles.

On the Y-Results Page you will find the Y-DNA test results of our members. Instead of listing any personal information, we are listing your kit number and the information we have about your Wark ancestor.
