The SNPs unique to this branch of the Franklin FY02 group of which Greg and Larry are two who have done advanced testing in the form of the Big Y test are actually A7796 and BY1466.

Gary & Larry took ftdna's Big Y test which discovered a new Terminal SNP" for all descendants of Abraham "Old Abe" Franklin's descendants. The following SNP "Line of descent" shows how our haplogroup/SNP evolved over the years: R-L21 > DF63 > CTS6919 > A92 > BY654-> BY17928. I recommend that all descendants of Abe III who can afford it take the SNP BY17928 test since ftdna will not update your haplogroup until they have tested you for your new "Terminal SNP". ALSO, many thanks to Gary & Larry for taking the Big Y tes

Franklin-1595 and Franklin-1289 appear to represent the same person because: These two persons are one & the same person
