THE GEORGE SURNAME

DNA Test Results

Home Page

Introduction

We now have results for 62 Y-DNA tests in the George Surname Study (with 7 tests pending) and have been able to assign about 60 percent of our members to nine known lineages. This percentage has remained fairly steady over the last year.

Lineages and Unrelated Individuals

Lineage I: A large number of participants in this group trace their ancestry to North Carolina. Several members of the group trace their ancestry to Nicholas George of Virginia, born in England about 1603.

Lineage II: The members of this group are descended from Benjamin George, an early pioneer of Lincoln County, Tennessee, and Britton George, a Revolutionary War veteran, probably born in Virginia. There is speculation, but no solid evidence, that the earliest common ancestor of Benjamin George and Britton George was John George, Jr., of Pittsylvania County.

Lineage III: Members of this group are descended from the John George who was born in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, in 1743.

Lineage IV: Members of this group trace their ancestry to William George, born in Virginia in 1724.

Lineage V: Members of this group trace their ancestry to Col. John George, who immigrated to Virginia about 1623.

Unrelated Individuals: The unrelated individuals come from a number of locations, including Wales, Cornwall, and Virginia.

Finding Your Lineage

The following charts compare the markers of 56 members. To find your results, check on the following table to find the haplogroup and lineage information corresponding to your kit number. Please contact the Project Coordinator if you are not sure of your kit number. You can find out more information on the Lineages and Individuals page. Your results will be in the Haplogroup table corresponding to the first three Haplogroup characters listed for your member code: R1b, R1a, I, or E3b. Your results will be listed as the lineage if you are a 12/12 match with one or more other members in that lineage. For example, if you are in Lineage I your results will be listed as Lineage I in Haplogroup table R1b, since all members in that lineage are a 12/12 match. If your lineage is listed as “Individual”, your will find your results under your member code in the relevant table. For example, the results for member #30770 are listed under the member code in the R1b table.

The haplogroup results listed in the below table are color coded. Haplogroups in red are estimated by FTDNA. Haplogroups in green have been confirmed through testing.

Overview Charts – 12 marker test

• If the haplogroup is in green, it has been verified through testing for an individual. If the haplogroup for a lineage is in green, at least one individual in the lineage has had his haplogroup verified through testing. If the haplogroup is in red, it was estimated by Family Tree DNA.

Notes

1. This person is probably not in Lineage II because there was a 4 marker difference with member #100 on the 25 marker test.
2. Members #20015 and #7634 cannot be assigned to a lineage because of a lack of collateral documentation on their lineages.
3. Members #20867 and #23346 are each one marker of from the results in Lineage I. However, we cannot assign them to a lineage because of a lack of collateral documentation on their lineages.
4. Geography and chronology suggest that members #100 and #5119 are closely related despite the one marker difference.

5. We need to review the paper trail more closely to determine if the one marker difference is significant.
