DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Richard or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree: Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • Richard Greer: Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup K1a11, FTDNA kit #B331207
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Richard:

Many thanks for collaborating on our shared ancestor.

Hello Richard,

During the winter, the Nordic Project performed check-ins, sent as a private message from your profile. You are one of those members who has not replied, and this is a last chance to get in touch and let us know if you like to continue as member in the Nordic Project.

Please answer this comment, and get in touch by sending my Co-Leader, Missy Berryann (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Berryann-1) a private message. If we have not heard from you within a month you will be removed from the Nordic google group and your badge will be removed.

If you have not received any check-in emails, you might want to check that your email address for WikiTree is one you actually still use.

Thank you!

T.L. Koehnline

Co-Leader, Nordic Project

Hi, Richard, I am wondering, since I do not speak "DNA" can you interpret your "DNA Connections" on the Greer-1455 and his father Moses Greer. There were 2 Aquilla Greer's born same year, same place and there is a SEARCH for the DNA proof. Can you explain? please. Cuz' Carole

I have placed my FTDNA kit number up on a lot of Greer's perhaps some who are not in my own direct line through Benjamin 1727-1788, My purpose is to try to get more Greer men to take the higher level FTDNA tests, If we can get a lot of men tested, we can make a lot of headway in finding out who our James' parents were, we can objectively find our place in Burke's Peerage. And last, but not least, find true relationships of all of our Gunpowder lineage. It may take another ten years or so, but eventually Y-DNA relationships will "make or break" all the paper trees out there in the wild.

Moses, Aquilla Sr. and my Benjamin were all sons of John, James' only child. All of Benjamin's ancestors who have tested so far and one of Benjamin's brothers ancestors has tested R-BY73152 like me. So, I have a feeling that just about all the brothers have a very large chance of having descendants with R-BY73152 as their "FINAL-SNP". Some people who don't test at BigY-700 but only test at Y-111 may show up as R-FGC4125 or R-FGC4133 which are Grierson "FINAL SNP"s. But when they test at the higher level, they should match all of James' descendants in having R-BY73152. I hope that answers your question. RSG

I see that we are 7th cousins from common ancestor John James Greer. I compared our dna running lower snps because of the cousin distance and we match on 12 different places on 9 different chromosomes. The highest is only 5cM and most are 3cM, but we are definitely related!!

Do you have a male relative you can get to test on Y-111 or BigY-700 at FTDNA?

Hi Richard,

I haven't looked at your full tree, but we're probably related through the Greers. I've been working on another match when I came across your Gedmatch on Wikitree.

Thanks for sharing on Wikitree! Virginia

Hey Richard, I was able to get my hands on the original document that you wanted us to look at. It's almost impossible to read. The lady that got it for me said the father looked like maybe Richard instead of James. I posted them on our group page if you want to check it out. I don't want to put them on the James Greer page unless we can connect.

Hi Richard,

How is it going so far. Was the first page of the How-Tos helpful or did it leave you with questions?

We want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for becoming pre-1700 certified. Now that you will be working on older profiles you will find yourself collaborating more with others. The best way to do this is by joining a project. I see you have ancestors involved in the Magna Carter. Have a look at the Magna Carter Project, and see what you think. Give me a shout if you have any questions.

Thanks, Susie :-)

Richard,

Your YDNA line is through you father, YDNA passes from father to father basically unchanged for thousands of years. Your haplogroup is determined from certain SNP marker values, Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) haplogroups are determined by single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) tests. SNPs are locations on the DNA where one nucleotide has "mutated" or "switched" to a different nucleotide. Because a haplogroup consists of similar haplotypes, it is possible to predict a haplogroup. Although you are a member of a Haplogroup with many other men it does not necessarily indicate that you are closely related. In fact two men of the same haplogroup can be so distantly related that it would be impossible to determine common ancestry, To determine if two individuals are genetically related requires analysis and comparison of their unique marker values. It is not possible to determine relationship to a distant ancestor by haplogroup alone.

You expressed an interest in your potential Magna Carta ancestry. Although it can be a challenging task to prove such ancestry it is possible to do so. It involves proving each connection from child to parent all along the line from you to the Surety Baron. Not an easy task, but an interesting one. And if you happen to be a descendant of a known Magna Carta Gateway Ancestor your work is much easier. There is a WIkitree Project whose purpose it is to document and improve the direct lineage trails between these Gateway Ancestors to the Magna Carta Barons.

For more information please see : Welcome to the Magna Carta Project and Requirements for Membership

Regards, David Douglas
