International Lindsay DNA Group 11

"Lindsays of Anson County, North Carolina"

In an attempt to establish a basic geography for this composite group of Lindsays/Lindseys, DNA Group 11 will be henceforth referred to as the "Lindsays of Anson County, North Carolina" until revised.

The DNA Group 11 is a grouping composed of six (6) participants.

Click on DNA Data Spreadsheet to view the DNA marker values for the current participants of DNA Group 11.

I would have been delighted to have informed Round 2 (year 2002) participant L0034 that his DNA was finally matched.   Participant L0034 died in July 2003, but I am still delighted to have announced, in his memory, the match of his DNA in April 2005.  The message in this story is simple.  Do not give up in finding your DNA match.  

Participant L0034 (deceased 2003) has two miss-matching markers, out of the original 26 markers, with participant L0071.  It is believed that James Lindsey (1768 Anson Co., NC - 1820 GA) is the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for participants L0034 & L0071.  James & Ruth Howard Lindsey had a son John (1805-1833, ancestor of L0071), and a son Clement Lindsey (1814 - 1876 Texas, ancestor of L0034).

Participants L0071, L0088 & L0140 have a perfect match (43 out of 43 markers).  It is believed (but not proven) that the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for participants L0071 and L0088 is Edward Lindsey (bef. 1750 - ?) and who married Rachel Stewart.  Edward & Rachel were the parents of William, John, George and James Lindsay/Lindsey.  L0071, L0088 & L0140 have established the modal haplotype for DNA Group 11.

Participant L0117 has three miss-matching markers, out of 43 markers, with the modal haplotype of DNA Group 11.

Although participant L0069 has four mismatches, out of the original 26 markers, (and a "violation" of my own informal rule of three or less mismatches) with the balance of DNA Group 11, there is no doubt they all share a common ancestor somewhere in the distant past.  Participant L0069 needs to test for the 43 markers.

The names of the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for many of these Lindsay/Lindsey lineages has not yet been determined, but the participants are currently researching the data for possible merge points.

If you have information, accompanied by the appropriate citations, that demonstrate how any of the Lindsay/Lindsey lineages of DNA Group 11 are connected, please contact Ron Lindsay

Reference Notes

  1. Proper Analysis of DYS389-1 & DYS389-2 Marker Mutations.

In analyzing the marker values in the table representing this DNA Group, it is important to remember the following in your analysis of loci DYS389-1 and DYS389-2 matches and mismatches.

  1. The loci DYS389-1 and DYS389-2 are two legitimate lengths of DNA but move in tandem.
  2. DYS389-1 refers to the length of only one portion of the DYS389 marker.
  3. DYS389-2 refers to the total length of the DYS389 marker. Therefore, when there is a one step mutation at DYS389-1, it will also appear to be in DYS389-2.
  4. When comparing one individual to another, if the values for two individuals differ by one repeat at DYS389-1, that represents a one-step mismatch.
  5. If the values for the same two individuals differ also by one repeat at DYS389-2, then it should only be counted as one combined mutation for DYS389-1 & DYS389-2.
  6. If the marker values for two individuals differ by one repeat mismatch at DYS389-1 and a two repeat mismatch at DYS389-2, then it should be counted as two separate mismatches or mutations.
  7. There is another and potentially even more confusing situation that could occur at marker DYS389. If the marker values for two individuals differ by one repeat mismatch at DYS389-1 and then a perfect match at DYS389-2 for these same two individuals. This should be counted as two separate marker mismatches since the value mismatch at DYS389-1 was offset by a mutation in the opposite "direction" from the value found at DYS389-2 and appears to cancel out the mutation that occurred at DYS389-1.
  8. However, keep in mind there can be a mutation at DYS389-2 that will not affect the length found at DYS389-1.
