About the Barnes DNA Surname Project:
Larry Bowling is performing a
study on the Barnes DNA testing. All Barnes men are encouraged to
participate. To participate you must order a kit directly through him.
Test results are back on both of my Barnes lines and the results are
reflected below.
Here is a link to the results he has
published so far:
My
Barnes lines in the DNA Project:
John Barnes was born about 1796 in
PA and he is kit # 4635 on the DNA study. John Barnes is on my
maternal side. My grandpa John Barnes, shown in the picture below
holding a fish, is a direct descendant of John
Barnes of PA. His family tree can be viewed at the link below:
Samuel Barnes was born about
1773 in NC and he is kit # 4612 on the Barnes DNA study. Samuel Barnes is
on my paternal side. My grandma Nora Rich is a direct descendant of
Samuel Barnes of NC. The Samuel Wilson Barnes, shown in the picture
below, is a son of Samuel Barnes of NC His family tree can be viewed on the link below.
My interests in having both lines in the
study was to identify if both of my Barnes lines were related since I was
have not been able to identify they are related performing traditional
genealogy methods. I was especially interested since both Barnes lines
are quite similar in appearance.
Pictures
of my Barnes ancestors represented in this study show how similar John's and Samuel's
facial structures are below. It is also interesting that they both
have gray eyes. The DNA results show they are closely related and
their common ancestor may be as far back as 100 generations or more.
My Barnes Results
Click on 'My ancestors' results
to see their Y-DNA 25 Marker test. Both ancestors' test
results reflect that they are part of Haplogroup R1b (HG1) which is the
Atlantic Modal Haplogroup, AMH. The AMH includes Irish, Welsh,
Basque, Flemish, and Bretagne. In the
report, Semino's 2000 paper, "A
Genetic Legacy of Homo Sapiens Sapiens in Extant Europeans: a Y Chromosome
Perspective" a map reflecting the distribution of haplogroups in
Europe is given on page 1156. R1b (HG1) is reflected on the map in
green.
Samuel and John's 12 Marker test reflects a distance of 3 single step
mutilations. Their 25 marker test reflects a distance of 8.
They have 6 single step mutilations (389-1 and 389-2 count as 1) and 1 two
step mutilations. These differences are reflected in red.
The chart below reflects the
genetic distance between the participants 12 Y-DNA results to John and
Samuel Barnes. A distance of 0 is an exact
match,
a distance of 1 is a single step mutation, etc.. The distance
calculation was provide by Family Tree DNA group administration page or by
manual calculation. By viewing the table
below and the results table above we can conclude
the following:
|
Match
- Samuel Barnes descendants, Kits 4612 and 5752 reflect a distance of
0. |
|
Closest match
for John Barnes are kits 4598 and 6921 that reflect a
genetic distance value of
1 to John Barnes (kit 4635). |
|
Closest match for Samuel Barnes is kit 7255
that reflects a genetic distance of 1 to Samuel Barnes (kit 4612).
|
Using the 25 Y-DNA Marker test results for John and Samuel
they reflect a genetic distance of 8 one step mutations for the.
Therefore, if they are related, it would be many generations ago since the
genetic distance is so high. To learn more about Y-DNA match
probability of having a common ancestor, see my page called 'Y-DNA Close
Ancestor?' by clicking the button at the top of my page.

All
Y-DNA project participants with results should enter their
results into the Ybase
database so that they can search for others that have the same Y-DNA test
results. Use of the Ybase site is free. If you choose to enter
your results data into Ybase, I can add a Ybase Search hyperlink in the
results table once you provide me your record ID. To see how Ybase
works, click on the Go! hyperlink for kit 4635 and 4612.
The
Barnes Y-DNA
results received so far reflect ancestry in three Haplogroup
classification. I used the method
reflected on the site
Y-Chromosome Haplogroups to determine each participants' Haplogroup and
added the groups to the table above. Click on the button at the top of
this page called 'DNA Haplotypes' to learn more.
Samuel Barnes' 25 Marker test results were
submitted to L. David Roper so that he could use the results to reflect how
they compare to other family surname results. View the link below to
see how the results:
L.
David Roper reflects that Samuel Barnes is part of the Paleolithic
group.
Samuel is genetically close to the
MacTiernan and
McCeny
surname results. From reviewing the results, it is possible that
Samuel is of Irish descendant. The Irish name for Barnes is
Berrane, therefore, the last name may have been changed from Berrane
to Barnes upon coming to the US.
Using the genetic distance table
described above project participants can learn
more about the probability of having a common ancestor by clicking on the
button at the top of this page called 'DNA Close Ancestor?'.
Participants with results in
can enter their alleles into this Y-STR
site and obtain information on where others in Europe and the US have
the same alleles. To learn more about this and review an example,
click on the button at the top of the page called 'Barnes Y-STR'.
