Robert Wheaton Part three
Posted on January 23, 2013 1 Comment
In my continuing quest to construct a real identity for Robert I went looking for the reference to his occupation and I thought I would post here. It comes from a genealogy full of inaccuracies: “Lincoln, Pearce, Porter & Related Families” by William Ensign Lincoln 1930 Pittsburg, PA. More specifically the beginning of the section […]
Decoding Neanderthals and other Mysteries

If you are interested in our Human origins, I highly recommend the Nova (PBS) documentary on Decoding Neanderthals which is viewable on their website. This program shows how DNA and meticulous research is changing our views on man’s early origins. In our own DNA news we have some new mysteries that may get solved soon. […]

Why Numbers Matter

Although this is specific to Group B I hope all of you will take a look. I am enclosing two matrix charts which show the number of mismatched markers in Group B at 67 Markers and then at 111 markers. Although it doesn’t look like much there is a lot to be gleaned here. This […]
Looking Forward to 2013

I have updated our Results page here: https://sites.google.com/site/wheatonsurname/patriarchs/results This only includes markers up to 67. For those tested at FTDNA for 111 markers see our page at FTDNA. (The website doesn’t like big excel files.) I have grouped the results with those having the same markers and/or same lineage together. Makes viewing possible relationships easier and […]

As all of you know by now (but some future readers might not), our sponsorship of Jerry’s “Walk Through the Y” was successful in the discovery of a brand new, never before identified mutation on the Y chromosome called L1358. The schematic shown below is from Thomas Krahn’s Y Chromosome browser showing the precise location […]

Here’s what we have accomplished this year: WE went from 17 to 37 MEMBERS at FTDNA and many more overall! WE went from a presumed 2 Wheaton groups to SEVEN with FOUR of those Groups tracing roots to DEVON! WE have proof the name had not a single origin but likely many. WE have 3 […]
GENO 2.0 First Thoughts
Posted on December 14, 2012 Leave a Comment
Three of our project members that I know of have taken the GENO 2.0 and one has results. Of the over 12,000 Y-DNA SNPs tested Mr. Mallenby is positive for 447. That really doesn’t mean much in itself but it does show why FTDNA is no longer recommending the Deep Clade Testing as this test […]
Too Much News so just a quick ROUND-up

Those with Genographic 2.0 are getting there results including many more SNPS. As yet not sure what it all means as the Phylogenic trees do to reflect all these new SNPs yet. Thank you to Thomas and Terry for keeping me posted. We also have new results for Geoffrey which show that he and the […]
