William Campbell (abt. 1650)

I have no idea what that means honestly. "A different result may be expected.."? If we are talking Y-DNA and SNPs that "result" would be the actual direct line male ancestor... Again the way the Y-DNA testing has come back there is a disconnect between what we know the Auchinbreck line to be, and what the Cherry Valley descndants have submitted. They do *not* line up, which confirmed what Dr. Ruby had suggested many years back, namely Lt. Col. William may have married into the Wester Kames family "at best". Until we get many more BigY tests submitted Auchinbreck (A5919 Scotiish) and Lt. Col. William and Cherry Valley (M222 Irish) are never going to line up no matter what. They are in completely different branches of the Haplotree whose common ancestor dates back to about 2100BCE lst time I checked. As I stated on FasmilySearch...if yanyone disagrees with the current test resultss you are free to submit your own FTDNA BigY700 kit and accompanying direct line genealogy. But be fiorewarned... the above senario is "in context" both genetically and genealogically. In other wordds, there are other kits claiming other related lines/cadets related to the Auchinbreck family and they are where they would be expected to show, both genetically and genealogically.

You need to read up on SNP mutations and how they work. It is anything but nonsense. SNP mutations are only traanmissable father to son. If we were talking about STRs you might have an arguments, but not so when discussing SNP mutations. What I stated is a matter of fact. It's not an opinion. :) The two lines could *not* have been related after about 2100BCE.
