When each person get their Y-DNA done it is a collection of markers. When you collect a batch of marker it becomes a Haplotype. When you have several people sharing a type of Haplotype it become sa Haplogroup. The most common UK isle HG is R1b along with "I" HG and there are many type of HG which create a tree. Point in being we all came from same spot many many year ago which get into Anthropolgy rather the genealogy time frame. >From the data I gathered from different database I found two different Haplogroup claiming same person a Richard Hunt of England b 1562. His descendant came to America. One of his the more common name attached to this group is William Bradford Hunt. I mentioned on this list last year? That there is no way two HG can share same founding father of Richard Hunt line one being R1b other being the "I" group. I just went back to see who was who between the different pedigree. It appear a lot more research is needed in seperating the two HG from same founding father. Just to give an idea of the "I" group it is the Capt Charles Jefferson Hunt who grandparent is said to be John Hunt and Martha Jenkins.
