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.

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 kits submitters and their own research. Other information has been added from other sources. Additions and corrections are welcome.

Lineage information in pointed brackets < > lists the Group Number and the DNA Kit Number as found on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. Additional information will be included as more DNA markers are tested and as more participants match up with this grouping.

At least four separate lines so far have been submitted for this group. Kit #19682 traces back to David Harris (ca. 1830-????) of Virginia. Kit #32900 traces back to James Gassaway Harris (ca. 1831-????) of Poteau, Oklahoma. Kit #N11536 traces back to Peter Harris (ca. 1795-????) of North Carolina. Another Unknown Harris line also belongs to this group. Although these lineages match up very closely through DNA, so far, the direct link has not been found between any of these.

This group belongs to the R1b1b2 haplogroup. For information on Genetic Distances in Group 11, view this page: Genetic Distances - Group 11

Here are lineage charts (supported by DNA) that fall into Group 11 of the Harris Y-DNA Results. All spouses are not shown—only the ones that are listed as the parent of the generation that follows. For questionable generations, the names are preceded by an asterisk *. This means the connection between the person with an asterisk and the previous generation are unproven.

The modal listing of Group 11 up to 67 markers is listed on the HARRIS Y-DNA RESULTS Page.
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 usually occur every 3 or 4 generations. Some specific markers tested are known to mutate faster than others.
