Results Table

NOTE: This results table includes only the information for which I have had the time to enter. There are likely more test results reported by the testing laboratory that I have yet to include here. For a list of all the test results by kit number, see this page. Between the page at the link just given and this page that you are reading now, essentially all that is known about the DNA testing results should be available. If you have any question beyond that, then please feel free to e-mail me using the address shown at the bottom of this page.

Specific findings, based on analyses of the DNA data:
Finding 1 John Lentz and Peter Lentz can not be sons of Hans Petrus Lentz.

The above phylogenetic network diagram is the maximum parsimony tree given the DNA results only, and presuming that all the sample providers share a common patriarch of any era. Thanks to the folks at Fluxus-Engineering/Fluxus-Technology for their diagramming software (see also Bandelt H-J, Forster P, R�hl A (1999) Median-joining networks for inferring intraspecific phylogenies.

LANCE, John
Born: About 1794, Kentucky
Died: 12 JAN 1872, Monroe Township, Pike County, Indiana
Married: 1st, Sarah Lathom, 08 JUN 1815, Gibson County, Indiana
Married: 2nd, Eleanor Lemasters, 05 OCT 1816, Gibson County, Indiana
Note 1: Tombstone reads "Died Jan 12, 1872....aged 77Y, 10M, 13D"
Note 2: The information about him inscribed on his wife's (Eleanor's) tombstone reads, "John Lance....Born Mar 25, 1797....Died Jan 12, 1872".
Note 3: Will signed 24 AUG 1872, so death date probably actually 12 JAN 1873, not 12 JAN 1872. This fits with his 13 FEB 1873 inventory of estate.
Note 4: Census records show a birth of about 1794, in spite of the tombstone inscription.
