Notes:

  1. General Notes:
    1. Under construction... as a yDNA participant, please let me know if you'd like this done any differently!
    2. 2/67 = -2 genetic distance on 67-marker test
    3. NA = Not Applicable... same group
    4. a blank square means I haven't input the data yet
    5. The numbers/names on each row and column correspond with the individuals/patriarchs on groups page
    6. Where there are two or more participants within the same group, and they have different genetic matches/differences when compared against another other group,  the closest match will be depicted.
  2. Gw & HR Cathcart, see Group 2 page for more details/suppositions
  3. My own test is 3/67 from the two participants above.
    1. However, two other participants: RS & JA are 0/67 or exact matches to each other -- (see group 1c) also fall into my genealogical group.  They are known to be fifth cousins to myself and descend from John Cathcart (father of the "Big 4" brothers). 
    2. However, both of these gentlemen are more distant genetically (6/67) from the two gentlemen in footnote 2 above.
    3. These results are puzzling, as they seem to contradict the genetic results.
  4. The townlands of Kells and Lisnawhiggle are about a half mile apart.
  5. Our only participant in this group hails from Southeast Australia. Descendants of this John Cathcart of Kells also immigrated to Delaware/New York and Canada.
    1. 0/67 Exact match with genetic group 1a, which includes five members.
    2. next closest match is to my own group (from Big 4) and a descendant of James Monro Cathcart (12).
  6. John Cathcart from Kells connection to both William and Mary and Samuel "Spartanburg" Cathcart line
    1. We have testing that shows an exact match at the 111-marker level between two participants who hail from the William and Mary and Spartanburg lines.  This result was unexpected.
    2. Participant Ba Cathcart (111 marker test) shows a one step (-1/111) distance from these two lines. 
  7. One participant from this group.  Matches most closely with two individuals—one of whom has not yet joined our group.  I'm not aware of the ancestry of any of the closest matches to this group (1/67).
