NOTICE: Information presented in these webpages is not to be construed as PROVABLE FACTS. It is up to the user to verify all information that he/she receives. Some information has been provided by kit submitters and their own research. Other information has been added from other sources. Additions and corrections are welcome.
Lineage information in brackets lists the Group Number and the DNA Kit Number as found on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. The kit numbers are listed in the same order as presented on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. If you are looking for a specific kit number, click CONTROL and F at the same time. Then do a key word search by kit number or name of earliest-known ancestor. Additional information will be included as more DNA markers are tested and as more participants match up with this grouping.This is an ongoing project seeking to chart out lines of descent that have been DNA tested as shown on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. Information is based on DNA results, lineage information supplied by kit submitters, Bible records, vital records, legal documents, census records, family histories, internet sources, etc. In some cases the paper trail and/or information found on the web or other sources may be in error. Please view this information as a tool and not as proven fact.
The modal listing of Group 1 up to 67 markers is listed on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page.
In order to better compare matches in Group 1, the modal listing has also been posted on Ysearch with a user ID of FNFEX. To view the modal listing go to the Ysearch user ID page for FNFEX
This modal listing has also been posted at Ancestry.com on its DNA site. For those in Group 1 who have tested (or posted their results for free) with Ancestry.com, you should find a match with Group1Modal and surname Harris.
For an exact match to this group, the submitter must be a male with the HARRIS surname, be from the same haplogroup, and the DNA markers from his kit number should match exactly with these results. In most cases there will be at least one variation in DNA marker values. If the two test kits are from close relatives, then the variation is due to normal mutations of DNA. DNA mutations may occur every 4 or 5 generations. Some specific markers tested are known to mutate faster than others.
From the lineages supplied, it appears that all 8 of the submitters in the group, descend from David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820) of Virginia and Clarke County, Georgia who is probably a descendant of Michael Woods, b. 1684.
HARRIS DNA GROUP 1 LINEAGE CHARTS
Here are lineages supplied by kit submitters as well as other documentation. The most recent representative in each line (living persons are not shown) has been tested, and their DNA markers match closely with the modal for Group 1, giving evidence for a common ancestor.
The lineage numbers assigned match up with the order in which each kit is listed on the HARRIS Y-DNA RESULTS Page.
This family’s migration pattern is: Virginia > Clarke Co., GA > Marshall Co., MS > Ellis Co., TX > Dallas Co., TX.
This kit is a 12-marker test that belongs to the R1b1 haplogroup. It matches the 67-marker modal as much as has been tested so far with no variances. The lineage supplied by the DNA Kit submitter at http://www.harrisdna.org/info/N18809.html is found here:
