  • Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Don Stewart, FTDNA kit #836831, and his 6th cousin once removed, J. L. S., Sr FTDNA kit #5830, match exactly on 111 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA James Stewart. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 8 generations is 72.75% and within the last 9 generations is 86.01%. Their common SNP is I-BY124373 which was formed when it branched off from the ancestor I-BY108108 around 1700. The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 1750 with a 95% confidence level he was born 1633 or later.
