Houston YDNA Grouping based on ySearch results, September 2012

The following data summary is based on publically available data on YDNA results from ySearch.org. Most results were imported into the ySearch database came from the Family Tree DNA, but the ySearch database includes results from other sources as well. Unfortunately, different organizations use different suites of markers, so comparison between different organizations is somewhat difficult. Since the vast majority of results are from FTDNA, only FTDNA results are shown. Even then, some results had to be excluded as at the time the data was extracted not all markers showed values.

These data were analyzed using yAll100, a program designed to make a comparison of the yDNA signatures of each and every kit being considered. The results are presented as "percent dissimilarity". Exact matches between two kits are shown as "0.0% dissimilarity". Increasing dissimilarity indicates (more or less) increasing distance in time to the common ancestor for two kits. values between 0.0% and about 10% are considered indicative of a relatively recent common ancestor. Values between about 10% dissimilarity and the cutoff criteria of 14%, are interpreted as marginally indicative of a common ancestor in a recent genealogical time frame. Dissimilarities greater than or equal to 14.0% are not shown, as such results are, for the most part, considered to exceed the limit at which yDNA would indicate a relatively recent common ancestor.

Overall

The following is an overall view of the a yAll100 run on the ySearch Houston data. This display is only intended to give an overall impression of the results, as the full data set could not be easily fit on a single page without extreme reduction in size, as is the case below. More detailed images of the display are available at.....

40	92TPA	McQuiston	Londonderry, Ireland	Robert McCuiston 1710-1765	Robert, James and Thomas McQuiston, sons of John McQuiston and Isabella Crelon, of Ireland, immigrated to America in 1735. Family records show that they "Landed in America at New Castle on the 6 of August 1735". They may have remained in eastern PA for sometime, but perhaps moved westward into Lancaster County at a fairly early date, and eventually acquired land warrants in Cumberland County (West Pennsboro). They eventually migrated south to North Carolina.	Person:Robert McQuiston (1)	McCuiston	25	2
