Marlene and Willie, I ask my cousin Jerry Baker to look at ID 31 and this is his email and wanted to share this with the group. Jerry Scott L2D Jerry S., I have reviewed Tables I, II, III, & IV for the Beatty/Beaty DNA Project relative to ID #31 and L2B, L2D, & L2F. Looks like there are 115 Beaty testers. Table I I could not tell much from looking at Table I but it did have a link to some information on the lineages for L2B, L2D, & L2F. Your Beaty must be represented in L2D, since you are listed as a contact for that lineage and it includes a bunch of Scott names. Table II (Group A is R1b1c) Your questions relate to Group A. It appears that three tester IDs 19, 65, & 75 are listed for 2B; only ID 31 for 2D and only 55 for 2F. ID 75 only has 25 markers. As obvious from the tables, Lineage 2B is 4 markers off from the standard with 2 of them being fast moving markers. Lineage 2F is 3 markers off from the standard with 2 of them being fast moving markers. Table III This table is interesting, but does not tell you much. It shows how much each of the Groups varies from the other groups. The closest potential connection between the various groups is Group A (R1b1c) and Group P (ID 68 - R1b - Line 379) which has 5 markers off from each other (two of which are fast moving markers). It is listed in the Table as 4 markers off, probably because 2 of the 5 differences are fast moving markers. Group P has only 25 markers completed. Table IV It appears that Table IV has an error. Table IV lists ID 31 line as 2C while Tables I & II list ID 31 line as 2D. I believe the 2C is in error and should read 2D, since your Beatys are represented in Lineage 2D. IDs 19 (2B), 31 (2D), & 55 (2F) each have 67 markers. ID 65 has 37 markers and ID 75 has 25 markers. Two new marker differences from the R1b standard show up at markers 51 & 60 for IDs 31 (2D) , 55 (2F) , & 19 (2B), but all three IDs have these differences, thus all three IDs show no differences in markers 38 thru 67 when compared to the R1b standard and the Adam (Group A) standard. Conclusions: I would guess that ID numbers 19, 31, & 55 have very high percentages for their common most distant ancestors being in a recent period of time. I would recommending asking IDs 65 & 75 to expand their tests to 67 markers to add to the data baseline. Also, I would recommend asking ID #68 (Group P - Lineage 379) to expand from 25 markers to 67 markers and would research lineage 379 for a connection (unless I am missing something about this close 4 markers off comparison). I am only an amateur at DNA. If you have a specific question I might be able to help get the answer by asking others, but I do not know very much about DNA on my own. Jerry Baker
