Y-DNA Matches found in the downstream branches of Q-L54, Q-M242, Q-Y18503, Q-FT374125, Q-Y54903, Q-A5612, Q-Y45920 haplogroups, listed in that order, except for matches that better match other surnames/families with otherwise less unrefined haplogroups compared to their closest matches, specifically matches with Q-M242 as well as Q-Y18503 which are "older" branches compared to the "younger", "more-refined" or other wise closer-to-the-present haplogroups designated to test takers who tested at higher markers, etc.

The "Clan" designation signifies an individual lineage of a match that has many matches that share a surname but have not exactly been defined, specifically Green, Yates, and Harrison (at least 2, to be added later) matches prevalent.

The "Lineage" designation signifies an individual lineage of a match that has a newer or younger or otherwise different branch that shares a genetic connection to this group but the surname does not match with as many as shared surnames as the 'clan' designated groups do, specifically Neely, Pugh, Martin, Whittaker, and Dunn.

Other matches to be added is SCHOLES, HARRISON and DOW.

The goal is to list each match in this groups lineage individually to better compare with one another as a group. The order of this group is subject to change because the initial organization is based on the chronological order of the haplogroups in general, but ideally the matches who belong in the same family lines should be next to one other to better place the unknown ancestors. For example, All of the Thomas Green and Fanny Martin matches are together, and it really is obvious how they are connected now. I would like to do this with all the matches if possible, this way I can find out who Oliver Perry Martin's dad is, hopefully!

Eventually, especially due to the variety of surnames, that could be reflected for example, let's say everyone in this group is in fact descended from a William Green, Thomas Green's ancestor, which is very possible. This entire group could be considered a big "Scots-Irish" style clan, the Green Clan of America, for example, and be able to connect a variety of surname lineages under that: Green Clan, Martin lineage for example. This would allow researchers to understand the how/when/where/what/why findings of the genetic genealogy aspects and allow for better categorization on the Y-Tree etc.

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

• Connecting the paternal lines in this haplogroup
• Finding cluster groups that share this haplogroup
• Collecting surnames and families that belong to this group
