Marilyn,
what were the results? Does it show any connections?
The 5 Cullison lines are from Aberdeen, Scotland and are not even in the
Same Haplogroup (many thousand of years ago migrations) and match each other --
Guess they got together as a group
The 2 Collison lines are from Aberdeen also and are in the same haplogroup
as we are -- the most common European haplogroup but not a match with us at
all. AGain must be a close family group because match each other
The 3 Callison lines are a match
Line from Lewis (of Moses) has had 12 markers tested and matches the other 2
on 11/12 (11 out of 12) -- one mutation on this line but unknown in what
generation this occurred. However, we have lots of 11/12 and 12/12 matches with
those of other surnames (64 in fact) since we have such a common haplogroup.
The only connecting link at 12 matches is the surname.
Line from James (of Moses) and line from John Jr. have had 37 markers
tested. They match 12/12 and 25/25 and 35 out of 37 markers so each line has had
one mutation out of 37 markers -- actually each of these were on pretty fast
mutating markers . Without knowing how the line from Lewis would match on 37
markers, it is hard to say how close the connections are BUT it is quite safe
to say that James (of Moses) and line from John Jr. have a common ancestor --
within the time frame of our research for sure. The more people that get
tested, the more able to put them in family groups because they will possibly
each have their unique signature mutation. At this point, the common ancestor
should have had the exact 37 markers as our results EXCEPT for the two mutations
and can't tell about those 2 until more people are tested.
