This is an ongoing project seeking to chart out lines of descent that have been DNA tested as shown on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. Information is based on DNA results, lineage information supplied by kit submitters, Bible records, vital records, legal documents, census records, family histories, internet sources, etc. In some cases the paper trail and/or information found on the the web or other sources may be in error. Please view this information as a tool and not as proven fact.
NOTICE: Information presented in these webpages is not to be construed as PROVABLE FACTS. It is up to the user to verify all information that he/she receives. Some information has been provided by kits submitters and their own research. Other information has been added from other sources. Additions and corrections are welcome.
Lineage information in pointed brackets < > lists the Group Number and the DNA Kit Number as found on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. Additional information will be included as more DNA markers are tested and as more participants match up with this grouping.
This grouping was originally part of a larger Group 3; however, some of the kits initially matched with this group had variants from the modal of more than 3. Thus the grouping was split up into 3 separate groups.

This group belongs to the R1b1 haplogroup. For information on Genetic Distances in Group 3, view this page: Genetic Distances - Group 3
Here are lineage charts (supported by DNA) that fall into Group 3 of the Harris Y-DNA Results. All spouses are not shown—only the ones that are listed as the parent of the generation that follows. For questionable generations, the names are preceded by an asterisk *. This means the connection between the person with an asterisk and the previous generation are unproven.
The modal listing of Group 3 up to 67 markers is listed on the HARRIS Y-DNA RESULTS Page.

In order to better compare matches in Group 3, the modal listing has also been posted on Ysearch with a user ID of RAU8U. To view the modal listing go to the Ysearch user ID page for RAU8U

For an exact match to this group, the submitter must be a male with the HARRIS surname, be from the same haplogroup, and the DNA markers from his kit number should match exactly with these results. In most cases there will be at least one variation in DNA marker values. If the two test kits are from close relatives, then the variation is due to normal mutations of DNA. DNA mutations may occur every 4 or 5 generations. Some specific markers tested are known to mutate faster than others.

At this time it appears that there are 4 different progenitors or earliest known ancestors represented in Group 3. Although the DNA appears to match closely, the connection between these lines has not yet been determined.

HARRIS DNA GROUP 3 LINEAGE CHARTS
The lineage numbers supplied tie the line in with DNA Group 3. Then a letter of the alphabet is assigned for each successive lineage. And if more than one ancestor falls into this group, then the earliest known ancestor from the list above is noted here.

Lineage #3F.—DNA Kit #64597/#H0002. This is for the line of a Robert Harris (d. 1805) of Augusta County, Virginia.
This kit’s paternal country of origin is listed as Ireland. This family’s migration pattern is: Virginia > Augusta Co., VA.
This kit was originally tested through Oxford Ancestors and thus is an Oxford DNA conversion for 9 of the markers (Kit #H0002). The submitter was retested with Family Tree DNA and upgraded to 67 markers. With the new testing (Kit #64597), this is a 67-marker test that matches the 67-marker modal for Group 3, with variances in markers 13, 26, and 35. This kit belongs to the R1b1 haplogroup.
