DNA Lineages

Each row represents the most distant known ancestor for a Howard line. If the rows are colored the same then the ancestors are related. We can tell if they are related using Y-DNA and autosomal DNA. If possible we should figure out the common ancestor and merge them.

Y-DNA groups are related along the paternal line.

auDNA groups share DNA and have the same surname so likely are related along the paternal line.

Footnotes

1. ↑ These names came from the FTDNA surname group
2. ↑ haplogroup for one of the descendants. There sometimes can be more than one haplogroup per lineage (e.g. a more specific haplogroup and a broader haplogroup). Or the same haplogroup can be in multiple lineages (e.g. a really distant haplogroup from many thousands of years ago). So, you have to google the haplogroup to make sense of this.
3. ↑ assignment based on "in common matches" and "shared autosomal DNA" from various matches
4. ↑ should be the earliest ancestor in lineage with documentation (put possible earlier ancestors in the notes)
