Hi James List: We have some new 12 marker DNA results today for Charles Olan Damron. He has a unique James Line in being from the Haplogroup K2. K2 The K lineage is an old lineage presently found only at low frequencies in Africa, Asia, and in the Middle East. This specific line is found at low frequency in southern Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. You can read all about Haplogroups on the FTDNA webpage or on your own test page: "Haplogroups represent fractures in the tree and are tied to deep ancestry (think 10,000 or 10's of 1000's of years) and are shown in the human Phylogenetic tree. Please note that countries in this database are listed by the place one came from or currently lives. The value therefore is that it tells researches about migratory patterns, and gives information about the age of the group of people -- after all, everyone on the tree that isnt in Haplogroup A and B have lived outside of Africa for at least 60,000 years - and the story is how you got where you live now."
