A haplotype indicates a specific branch on the DNA tree. Branches can have branches so just knowing that you match a specific group does not indicate descent or cousinship with other basic matches.
Inclusion in a Paternal Line means that all individuals share a common grandfather.
I – Patriarch Line #1
I1 / I-M253
Thomas Golding, d. ca 1504, Cavendish, Suffolk … a descendant may have been Arthur and Percival Golding whose descendants emigrated via Caribbean to New York (see Line #2 below). One Thomas Golding descendant has Terminal SNP: I-A16783
I – Patriarch Line #2
I1 / I-M253
Ephraim Golding and Rebecca Gibbes in St. Michael, Barbados, before immigrating to New York in 16xx.
This line is probably descended from Line #1. The level of markers testing is not high enough to conclusively declare a match.
I – Patriarch Line #3
I1 / I-M253
John Golden b. 1765 and d 1816, location unknown. No other information was given by the DNA test taker.
I – Patriarch Line #4
I1 / I-M253
John Golden, c1750–1816, and Permilla “Milly” Carder, c1765–1820
