Family
Group 7
Michael
& Myron Osborn, Jay Osman, Garry & Robert Osmun, Danny Osmon
With the addition of the
newest member to this Family Group, Danny W Osmon, this group has become the
perfect example of successfully using dna to find your ancestors. Danny believes he knows his ancestral line
back to his immigrant ancestor.
Assuming that Danny is correct, although the other members of this
group do not know how they connect to Danny’s line yet, they now know who
their distant ancestors were. This must
be great satisfaction for Lorri who was the first and only member of this
group for many years. Lorri French joined the
Osborn-Ausburn surname project to research her husband, Michael Osborn’s
ancestors in Dec 2003. For a long time
Lorri and Michael were totally unrelated to anyone else in the project with
his genetic distances quite different from anyone else. Then, in about Dec
2005, a message suddenly appeared on Lorri’s FTDNA Y-dna page saying that a
Garry Osmun was a perfect match at both 12 and 25 markers. We had no Garry Osmun in our project, so he
must have tested somewhere else in FTDNA.
Only a y-dna researcher can imagine the thrill to suddenly find
someone else with such a close match!
After much sleuthing, we finally made contact with Garry and his
cousin Sharon who is the active researcher, and they have transferred his
results into our project so we can compare the ancestral lines. Now, both Michael and Garry have the 37
marker test, the results show a genetic distance of only 1 at 37 markers. There are only a few other pairs of people
in the entire project who are as close as one at 37 markers! Still we don’t know Michael and Garry’s
common ancestor, or how the surname might have changed so much. Then, in October 2006, Jay M
Osman joined the project from the Genographic Project and his test showed a
perfect 12-marker match to Michael and Garry, putting him into Family Group
7. Jay has extended his test to both
25-marker and 37-marker, and he is also a perfect match to both Michael and
Garry at 25 markers. With all three
now having the 37 marker test, we can identify the most likely ancestral
haplotype, who turns out to be Michael.
See the Alleles table. With Michael as the most likely ancestral
haplotype, we can compare his alleles with each of the others, and we see
that each of Gary and Jay are off by only one value in one marker. That means that each of their lines has had
one mutation relative to Michael’s line.
In January 2008, Michael
Swanson, using his uncle Robert Osmun’s dna, joined the project currently
with a 25 marker test. Robert is a
perfect match at 25 markers to all the others in this group. In April 2008, Michael found and recruited
Danny W Osmon to join the project and it is Danny’s line that shows the
immigrant ancestor. Many thanks to
Danny and Michael. Now in this Group there are
FOUR people who are as perfect match on 25 markers, and the three who have
had the 37 marker test are only off by one value at one marker on the
37-marker test. Yet they still don’t
know how they are related. The FTDNATip results are
shown as mouse-overs in all the genetic distance tables. Below is a little more detailed description
using the results between Michael and Garry. Similar results exist between all of the
members of this Family Group. Shown below are the FTDNATip results for the probability of a common ancestor
between Michael and Garry, for both an unconditional probability and for a
conditional probability knowing that they are not related within 6
generations. As the table shows, the
probability is quite high for a common ancestor within a few generations, and
gets even higher if we know that they are not related within 6 generations,
which is the case based on known or believed ancestral lines. The probability is 72% that the common
ancestor is within just 4 generations prior to the present earliest known
ancestor. This is a great opportunity
for some real genealogical detective work. FTDNATiP™ Report Family Tree DNA Time Predictor*

researching her Osmun ancestors. At
the present time, her third cousin once removed, Garry Osmun, is the closest
living male in the Osmun line, so he has contributed his dna for the
test. Their common ancestor is Daniel
