Oliver Lines of Descent from Olivers in the Violet Group

This web page was first mounted on December 12, 2009 by Sheila Schmutz. sheila.schmutz@usask.ca and updated on December 18, 2009. This is a private webpage that is connected to the Oliver Y DNA Project of Family Tree DNA. Please address corrections and additions to her. If you wish to correspond with other participants whose lines are shown, she will forward your message to them.

This webpage focuses only on the men who are highlighted in Violet or Group 12, among the many Oliver men who have been tested thus far. By December 15, 2009 there were 3 men who matched in this group, although the match is only at 12 markers so far. Until further markers are tested for 82723, it is not clear that this is a valid match. The detailed data on their markers appears on the Oliver Y DNA project homepage under Y-DNA results. Mr. 82723 also matches a Mr. 149253 Oliphant perfectly for the first twelve markers. However Mr. 154606 Oliver does not match him at the later markers 25-37 well at all.

Note that 154606 has a different Oliver line (the Cyan Group) among his ancestors too. However, that line passed through a female Oliver who married a male Oliver in Caldwell Co, KY.

The genealogy for one man in this group has been sent in, and the other participant has provided the information available to him.

Note that the names of the participants and their Fathers are not shown to protect the privacy of the individuals. If individuals do not wish their line to be shown at all, please contact me and I will respect your wishes.
