Golden YDNA Patriarch Project
Male Lines and their known yDNA haplotypes:
- A single known test is not sufficient to have confidence that a male line descends from a particular yDNA grandfather.
- Two tests from two separate male lines separated in time and not directly descended from one another is the minimum number of tests to have confidence that a haplotype is probably correct.
- Three or more tests from different branches is really good confidence.
- Please read comments for any moderating considerations.
| 3+ Tests | 2+ Tests | x1 Test |
Levels of Confidence in a yDNA type belonging to a male line: ... High Confidence: Are there 3+ tests from different male lines separated several generations? ... Good Confidence: Are there at least 2+ within the last several generations? Then there is high confidence back to the MRCA: Most Recent Common Ancestor. ... Provided here only as FYI. Just one test associated with a family line and a genealogy? ... Two or more tests going back to an MRCA is necessary to consider yDNA type assignment as relevant with any degree of confidence.
