Welcome to Our Doty - Doughty DNA Project | |||||||
| Our goal is to use the Y-DNA Chromosome marker information, to prove our genetic link of how our family spread out and grew, here in North America, and in the UK. We have two websites, this public website where all our results, and other information are kept, and a yahoo website for sharing information......... where you are welcome to join and help achieve that goal. Our project with the variations of the surname, has at the present, 147 members, 80 with y-DNA results. The DNA in our group charts are from the Doty Doughty DNA FTDNA public website. Our largest group has y-DNA close to proven lines in the Mayflower Edward Doty (Doten, Doughty, Dowty) family. All predicted to be Haplo R1b1b2a1b5*). Additional DNA is needed from proven male lines, to aid others who have hit a brick wall in their genealogy research. The Rev. Francis Doughty project needs additional testing of proven lines to substantiate the modal DNA. If you have a direct male connection to Rev. Francis Doughty, please contact us. Testing the Y chromosome (Y-Dna) - The Paternal Dna, passed from father to son, which is only found in males and is useful in verifying common ancestry. Ordering the 12 marker test will provide you a predicted Haplo group and possibly what family group you belong in. But the 37 marker test has been proven to be a better way to match other males with your surname because of the additional markers. Testing the mtDNA - The Maternal Dna test is available for both males and females, to uncover information about your mother, and her female ancestors. This will only provide a direct DNA link on the maternal line. (Mother, Daughter) Chromosome testing is from FTDNA, an independent lab, the test results are posted on their site, and on this website. (See Results) If you are interested and wish to participate, go to our FTDNA log-in. Haplogroups are large groups of haplotypes that can be used to define genetic populations and are often geographically oriented, y-Dna Haplogroups are determined by SNP tests. A person's haplogroup can be predicted from the y-Dna test numbers, but can only be proven with a SNP test. FTDNA Haplogroups
