The Townsend DNA Y Chromosome Testing Project is continuing to grow and become more complex. There are over 115 sets of results, including those tested by FamilyTreeDNA, the Genographic Project of the National Geographic Society, and the Sorenson Molecular Genetic Foundation (SMGF).
Clear, identifiable "family groups" or "lineages" have emerged and are shown as separate family groups in the Matched Groups Results below.
Don't forget to post your DNA queries at the Townsend Society Query Board. Just press the above button.
We are always
interested in in any feedback that anyone may have regarding the format. Please let us know if this
works or if you have an idea on how to improve it by contacting Lewis Townsend
. And again, if you are able, please consider donating to the fund.

Legend:
In the table, there are a number of features. First, click on any of the
underlined ancestor or group names to access their pedigree information. Clicking on the underlined kit number
will allow you to email the owner of that kit! If there is a "Y" in the column entitled "Web",
it means that this participant has a website and you can access it by clicking on the "Y". The DYS numbers in
red are considered fast mutating markers. Finally, Haplogroups that have been confimed by SNP testing are in
bold green text.
Matched Group Results:
This first page of
information details the results for all of the projects matched groups. All of these groups have been
identified by careful analysis of all available data including, number of markers tested, number of
mismatches, which markers were mismatched and existing genealogies. Except in rare occasions, once a
matched group is identified, they are assigned a permanent group number and are referred to in the
future by that number.
