Lineage information in brackets { } lists the Group Number and the DNA Kit Number as found on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. If you are looking for a specific kit number, click CONTROL and F at the same time. Then do a key word search by kit number or name of earliest-known ancestor. Additional information will be included as more DNA markers are tested and as more participants match up with this grouping.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 web or other sources may be in error. Please view this information as a tool and not as proven fact.
The modal listing of Group 38 up to 67 markers is listed on the HARRIS Y-DNA RESULTS Page.
In order to better compare matches in Group 38, the modal listing has also been posted on Ysearch with a user ID of 52A4N. To view the modal listing go to the Ysearch user ID page for 52A4N
This modal listing has also been posted at Ancestry.com on its DNA site. For those in Group 38 who have tested (or posted their results for free) with Ancestry.com, you should find a match with Group38Modal and surname Harris.
For an exact match to the modal of 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 usually occur every 3 or 4 generations. Some specific markers tested are known to mutate faster than others.
HARRIS DNA GROUP 38 LINEAGE CHARTS
This is the line of John Harris (ca. 1775-ca. 1841) of Rockingham County, North Carolina (Generation #3). It also should be noted that the DNA matches with a HARRISON in Maryland, so it is looks like the name has been shortened to Harris.
This family’s migration pattern is: Rockingham Co., NC > McNairy Co., TN > Lafayette Co., MS > DeSoto Co., MS.
This is a 67-marker test that matches the 67-marker modal for Group 38 with one variant in marker 32. This kit belongs to the R haplogroup. The kit submitter has not supplied a lineage. The submitter is a brother of the donor for Kit #170752. A few more details from other sources are added below:
