Olive Group 

The R1b-Family ZZE (Olive) Group has some of the original Johnson Project test subjects and others that match them.

The Olive Group page at Jeffrey A. Bockman - Olive Group (google.com) has a further discussion of the research issues and descendant reports for the current family groups of the members based upon DNA and research. FamilyFinder results will also be used.

Descendants of 
        Benjamin Johnson (died 1731) = Margery Massie
                Gideon Johnson (1722-1807)

        John Johnson & Elizabeth (Massie?)
                John Johnson (1702- 1777) = Elizabeth Ellyson
                        James "Gov" Johnson (abt 1737 - 1824) = Mildred Moorman (b 1742)
                Ashley Johnson (abt 1710 - 1761) = Martha Woodey
                James Johnson (abt 1717 - 1787) = Lucy Moorman
                        James "Seneca" Johnson (1767 - 1825/26) = Millie Moorman (b1760)
                Benjamin Johnson (abt 1722 - 1769) = Mary Moorman

        Benjamin Conrad Johnson (1827-1920) = Margaret Danner

Caskieben Clan
        DNA results of two proven descendants & Lineage - Jeffrey A. Bockman - Caskieben Lineage (google.com)
        The results match very few Johnsons. They do not match the lines claimed by Lorand Johnson.


Update 9 July 2016
There has been an attempt to retain all or part of the original group names, but in some cases there are new names and a different format.
Should you find yourself in a group you believe to be WRONG, please contact Gail in the first instance  gailriddelldna@gmail.com

In explanation of certain groups, such as "Unmatched", if for example, you are at Y37 and find yourself in a particular group other than what you expected, please read the title of the group.  The level of Y37 and below is often insufficient for genealogical genetics (not always as it depends on the Haplogroup).  Although it gratifies my genetic soul to see the SNP testing, this is generally NOT helpful to a surname project unless there are a number of Y111 testers in the same group or relatively close - meaning a GD a little over 10.

Hints: 
1.  Frequently, I find a man with another surname has joined the project and although there is no barrier to this happening when it is learned there is no JOHNSON (or variant spelling) in the matching for this tester, the assumption is made that there is an autosomal reason for joining.  This is OK but do please let the Admins know of this factor for appropriate grouping.
2.  Just as frequently, when checking matches, the surname Johnson (or variant spelling) is displayed.  Interestingly, that same surname Johnson etc is NOT in the project.  Therefore there must be numerous men with the surname within FTDNA's date base and who have not thought to join this project.  Therefore, could you please make contact and ask them to either contact the admins or just join.
3.  You can quickly and easily learn who you are matching in the project after you have joined - simply designate the project in your "Matches" option via your personal homepage.  If there is a match already in the project, this will appear and you can then write to that person by either clicking on their photo/silhouette or the little envelope icon.

Remember, our project is getting to be quite large and this chart may take a while to load, so be patient.  Additionally, alter your page size to 2000 to enable you to utilise your browser search function to speedily locate where you are in the project.

Some of our participants have ordered the mtDNA test. A chart showing these results is shown by clicking on the "MT-Results" button on the left.
