Results So Far

We have one result back so far, showing essentially no patrilineal relationship to any other group participant so far. He is a genetic distance of 10 from the Midway Quarterman group members, which means essentially zero probability of being related in less than 20 generations, and only 0.02% (two hundredths of a percent) probability of being related at 20 generations.

This does not necessarily mean that this person is not related to the Midway Quartermans: yDNA testing only checks patrilineal relationships. We know from documentation that there are at least two cases of a Quarterman woman in England having a son who took the Quarterman name. This person could be descended from one of those women, and would thus probably be a relative, just not a patrilineal relative.

With more submissions from other Quarterman groups we may find patrilineal relations to this Quarterman, or other English Quartermans who are related to Quartermans in the U.S. or elsewhere. Join now!
