DYS 19 is also known as DYS 394.
(Click here to see Genetic Distance Chart of
Participants.)
(Click here to see TMRCA Chart of Participants.)
Participants 14704, 14723, 51092, 20588, 20589, 23559, 26155, 33301, 36078,
46956, 59149 and 15338
have an exact match on all 12 markers and all have a verified line back to
Stephen Farr of Concord and Billerica, MA, who is also their most recent common
ancestor (MRCA). These results also show
without a doubt that Stephen Farr Jr.(proven in vital
records of Concord), Samuel Farr and Thomas Farr were brothers and sons of
Stephen Farr of Concord. Samuel mentions his brother John Farr in his will and
since Samuel matches, John his brother is proven by the will.
Participants 14704’s
and 14723’s most recent common ancestor (MRCA)
is Lorin Farr. All participants in this group would
like to know what area of Great Britain they come from. They have suspected Bedfordshire
for along time but have not been able to prove it.
Some have suspected that they came from Epworth, Lincolnshire but with the
results from participant 27562,
that appears to be unlikely. Participant 15659
has 24 matches and 1 mismatch with participants 14723, 15338, 51092 and 33301) (Click here to see
explanation of relatedness with 25 markers.) Participant 15659 has 35 matches and 2 mismatches
with participants 15338 and 14723, and has 34 matches and 3 mismatches with participant 46956. (Click
here to see explanation of relatedness with 37 markers.) Participant 15659 has a verified line back to William Farr (our MRCA) of Haynes, Bedfordshire,
England who has a son named Stephen Farr born 1640 in Lidlington,
Bedfordshire and a son Thomas Farr (mentioned in his will.) Stephen Farr b. 1640, disappears from English records and is not mentioned
in William’s will, only in the parish records. This indicates that all
participants in this group have a
close relation. The Time To Most Recent Common
Ancestor (TMRCA) from our research, we know would not be possible until the
1600s or earlier. (See Table 1.)
FTDNA has just come out with a new time calculator called FTDNATiP™, click here to see new
estimates between participants 15659 and 14723. With only 12 markers compared the probability of
William Farr being the MRCA is 37%, with 25 markers the probability is 81%, and
with 37 markers the probability rises to 94%.
Since
receiving the earlier results above, we have been looking closely at the parish
records and wills in Bedfordshire. The Winslow Farr Sr. Family Organization
hired Dean J. Hunter (who acquires British records for the FHL in SLC) to make
a CD of all the Farr wills in England from about 1550 to 1750. Since acquiring
this CD, my sister and I have been extracting all of the Farrs
in the parish records from the early 1500s to the late 1700s in Bedfordshire. I
have put these into an excel file by parish and have linked them to the wills.
We have entered all of the Christenings, Marriages and Burials. I have found
six new Farr wills in Bedfordshire that were not on the CD and they proved to
be very useful in making connections within the parish records. One of these
wills was of a Stephen Farr of Aspley Guise and he
mentions a son Stephen but we have accounted for them both in England. Stephen
Farr of Aspley Guise also has a son named William who
has a son named Stephen b. 1640. This Stephen Farr of Lidlington
b. 1640 and mentioned in the previous paragraph is the only Stephen not
accounted for in the English records after birth. I have a research report from
Robert Charles Anderson, FASG (author of
“The Great Migration Project”), dated 1996, on our Farr line. The report is
very interesting in view of our new DNA findings.
I have read
in several publications, that our Farr name possibly came from the Fair name in
Scotland. This might be true for some families of Farrs,
but not very likely ours. Two of the Fair participants in our project are from
the haplogroup R1a, one from E3b, and one from R1b1.
Participant 66392 Descends from Thomas Farr of Harpswell,
Maine and matches participant 16687 perfectly on 12 markers. Participant 16687 descends from William Farr (abt 1799) of the Poland, Poland Spring, Maine area. He is
not connected to any of the Farr groups listed above. In the Rev. Charles
N. Sinnett’s book “The Farr Genealogy” FHL Film
#0015506, he states that
Thomas Farr of Harpswell Maine was possibly a son of
Stephen Farr Sr’s son, John. John has an unnamed son
in Maine according to Sinnett. I checked the records
in SLC and found that John Farr names in his will all children except one.
John’s son, John, writes in 1748 on a court record that he has listed all of
the heirs of his father, except the one that lives in Falmouth, Casco Bay, York, Maine. John Farr died in 1723. Thomas Farr of Harpswell Maine died about 1830 and was age 98. That puts
his birth in 1732 and doesn’t appear to be a son of John. With the DNA results from
participant 66392, we now know that Thomas Farr of Harpswell,
Maine did not descend from Stephen Farr of Concord, Massachusetts.
Participant 15851
with a line back to Richard Farr of Virginia was wondering if his Farr line
(the southern Farrs) were connected to the
Massachusetts Farrs or not. With a 5-marker mismatch,
he is not related to the Stephen Farr line of Massachusetts. 15851 and 33626 match exactly and are definitely
related.15851 and 33626 are related to participant 27562 with a genetic distance of 2 on a 25
marker test, which means that their ancestors came or descend from Lincolnshire
Farrs. With an R1b haplotype,
these participants are descendants
of Western European ancestry. Participants 15851 and 16475
have a genectic distance of two. If they were to upgade to 25 markers, and still mismatched by only 2
markers, then they would be considered probably related.
Participants 64977 and 77544 match exactly and both have ancestry back to a John
Farr in Georgia. It is not sure at this time if they go back to the same John
Farr. It has been said that John Farr came on the good ship ‘Anne’ in 1733 with
General Oglethorpe and settled with other Highlanders in the Darien Colony. General
James Edward Oglethorpe and the 120 travelers of the good ship “Anne” landed on
a bluff high along the Savannah River in February 1733, Oglethorpe named the
Thirteenth and final American colony Georgia, after England’s King George II
and Savannah became its first city. I can’t find a Farr or Pharr on the 1732/3
ship list but General Oglethorpe did go back to England and recruited Scots to
go back to Georgia with him as soldiers and they went in 1736/7.
Participants 68759, 16475 and 62987 match exact on 25 markers.
Participants 68759, 65312 and 62987 spells their surname Farr and 16475 spells his surname Pharr and has a
verified line back to Edward Phair son of ‘?
Fair’ believed to have been born in Antrim County, Ireland. Edward Phair had a brother, George, who changed the spelling to
Farr and it stayed with his descendants, the Indiana Farrs.
16475 and 15851 have a genetic distance of two.
They could have a MCRA 61 generations back at a 50% probability but a
refinement test would be needed to see if this would hold or prove that they
definitely are not related. This family’s legend has it that these Pharrs came from Scotland and took their name from a
geographical location there before moving to Ireland. The spelling of the
geographical location was Farr. Several locations in Scotland have the name
Farr and all seem to be overlooks or places from which you can see a great
distance. According to Rev. David MacKenzie of the
parish of Farr in Sutherland Scotland, Farr came from the Gaelic word Faire,
which meant a watch or centinel. Rev. MacKenzie says (in 1845) that “the parish has been named
Farr for over 400 years. About half a mile north of the
parish church is the ruin of a circular tower, or Dunn, the nearest to the
sea-coast of a chain of these ancient buildings, extending for more than
twenty-four miles into the interior. Not far from this Dunn, is the
promontory called Farr Head, from which, in clear weather, there is a distinct
view of that part of the northern ocean, which lies betwixt Orkney and Cape
Wrath. From this promontory, a centinel or watch
could easily discover vessels approaching the coast, and, during the period of
invasions from Denmark and Orkney, could speedily communicate the necessary
intelligence to the inhabitants of the interior, by means of the chain of
towers, and such signals as were then in use.” The Rev.James
Dingwall in his “Statistical Account of the Parish of
Far – 1791-9”, states that the signals were made by raising lights. Rev.
Mackenzie states that the above is only conjecture as to the name of the
parish. No families by the name of Farr have ever lived in the parish of Farr.
Henry Newton Pharr in his book (1955) “Pharrs And Farrs”, refers to a letter
which he received from a Mr. Frederick Orr Mulligan. In the letter Mulligan
says:
“My
cousin and I visited two graveyards when at Crumlin
Village and looked up the records for over a hundred years, but found no Farrs in the books there. I hope to visit some more of the
graveyards near Antrim. I spent an hour in the Belfast Library, looking over
the families who settled in Northern Ireland over two hundred years ago and
amongst those settled, ‘Hannah the Historian,’ in his book of the Scotch-Irish,
says that there were then five families named Farr, settled in County Antrim
and that they came from Scotland. He mentioned that there is a Parish and Townland named Farr in Scotland and doubtless the Farrs took their name from or gave their name to this
district.”
Pharrs can be found in an old Presbyterian
churchyard, near Carrickfergus in Antrim County,
Ireland with the spellings of Phars, Phears, Phairs, Fairs and Farr
next to each other and were from the same family.

– 1845 and the Rev. James Dingwall’s Statistical
Account of the “Parish of Far” – 1791/9)
Participants 19147 and 55231 are
from the haplogroup R1a and spell their surname Fair.
They have a genetic distance of one. If number 55231 were to expand to 25
markers, then we could decide if the relationship is positive or not. A lot of
people from this haplogroup have ancestors in
Hungary, Germany, Russia and India
Participants 89616 and 84298 have an identical known common
ancestor, Joseph Farr/Farr, who first appears in the 1800 Burke County, NC
Census. He is believed to be the son of Joseph and Mary Farr/Fair first
discovered in Lunenburg County in 1752. Participant 89616 is descended from William Farr, son of the former;
participant 84298 is descended from Elijah Fair, both of whom are brothers
and known sons of Joseph Farr/Fair and Nancy Choate. William was the
only son (of 4) whose descendants took the Farr surname. Participant 25224 has ties to this
same family but has a substantial DNA mismatch.
Participant 25224 is from the confirmed haplogroup R1b1b2e (Northern Ireland)
and spells his name Fair. He derives his surname from the Joseph Farr/Fair
family of 1800 Burke County, NC as do participants 89616 and 84298 whose markers match
each other 36/37. However the markers for 25224 vary substantially
from participants 89616 and 84298 but his markers match 36/37 with a Buckner surname that lived
next door to the Joseph Farr/Fair family in the 1810 Burke census which
strongly indicates an act of paternity with a family member. 25224 also has a perfect match at 25 markers and a 35/37 match
with a participant in another company’s DNA project with the surname
Connor. There is a Conor family also
enumerated in Burke County during that same period. Connor Surname Project.
Participant
44408 who descends from a James Farr Sr.
b. England d. abt 1829 SC. Haplogroup
is R1b1.
Participant 28452 is
from the haplogroup E1b1b1a2 and
spells his name Fair.
Participant 16345
is from a different haplogroup than the others,
E1b1b1. I have not communicated with this participant so I don’t know of his
linage. His DYS markers indicate a genetic distance from other participants by
21 to 25. This means no relation to the other participants.
Participant 18481
is from the haplogroup R1a and has discovered that he
has perfect matches and close matches with the Woodall Surname project. With a little paper work he has
made some amazing discoveries about his direct line.

It is
obvious from our observation (FTDNA) of 1000’s of samples that some markers
change or mutate at a faster rate than others. While that actual ‘faster rate’ has
not yet been definitively calculated, not all markers should be treated the
same for evaluation purposes.
The markers in red have shown a faster mutation rate then
the average, and therefore these markers are very helpful at splitting lineages
into sub sets, or branches, within your family tree.
Explained another way, if you match exactly on all of the markers except for
one or a few of the markers we have determined mutate more quickly, then
despite the mutation this mismatch only slightly decreases the probability of
two people in your surname group who match 11/12 or even 23/25 of not sharing a
recent common ancestor.
How
Many Markers?
The
question comes up as to whether it’s better to get the 12-marker kit or the
25-marker kit. There are some reasons for choosing 12 or 25 initially. One
reason is, from a practical standpoint, the cost of the test, others are
considering what results one would like to get. The 25-marker test is going to
provide a shorter TMRCA (Time To
Most Recent Common Ancestor); in other words your probabilities of
matching another will occur within a shorter number of generations. (That is,
you will know that there’s a 50 percent chance you match someone within 7.5
generations as opposed to 14, for example). A 37-marker test is now available
and gives a TMRCA of about 4.7 generations. We recommend starting with
the 37 marker test. Some of
our participants are matching many people from other surname projects until
they upgrade to 25 or more markers. The upgrades have always proved that the
matches with other surnames are not real matches and from then on they have
only matched participants in our surname project.
- 12 Markers-
$99.00 for 12 marker test (plus S&H) (The cost of the kit for
non-group members is $149)
- 25 Markers - $148.00 for 25
marker test (plus S&H) (The
cost of the kit for non-group members is $229)
- 37 Markers - $189.00 for 37
marker test (plus S&H) (The
cost of the kit for non-group members is $259)
- 67 Markers -
$269.00 for 67 marker test (plus S&H) (The cost of the kit for
non-group members is $349)
- 12-25 Marker Upgrade -
If you get the 12-marker test and decide to upgrade, the cost for project
participants is $49.
- 12-37 Marker Upgrade -
If you get the 12-marker test and decide to upgrade, the cost for project
participants is $99.
- 12-67 Marker Upgrade –
If you get the 12-marker test and decide to upgrade, the cost for project
participants is $189
- 25-37 Marker Upgrade –
If you get the 25-marker test and decide to upgrade, the cost for project
participants is $59.
After
the cost is considered, the next considerations, I believe, are these.
- The
number of people in the main family groups that have taken the test to
compare against. As a new project progresses, there will be more people to
compare test results against. You might opt to take the 25-marker test and
upgrade later if there are some other participants you wish to compare
against in greater detail. Why would you want to check for greater detail?
Because either you would find that more markers continue to show matches
or more markers show mutational differences that were not obvious with
only 25.
- If
you take a 25 marker test and match on all markers but two, you will need
to upgrade to 37 or 67 markers to be certain there is a relationship or
not.
- The
amount of paper trail that exists for some baseline ancestors. Some
participants will not necessarily be interested in more than 25 markers,
but more of a test to see if they match the baselines that are being
established.
- How
many generations back do you want to compare exact matches AND/OR if there
were an exact match or close match on 25 markers, what differences or
similarities would 37 markers show? A 37-marker test brings closer the
TMRCA (Time to Most Recent Common Ancestry) to a shorter number of
generations where there is a match (See Table
1.)
So,
let’s use some examples:
- 25
marker test-exact match. To find out if the matches are within a shorter
number of generations, 2 of the participants could take the 37-marker
test.
- 12
marker test-one mutation, no other exact matches. Seeking another distant
cousin of that 11/12 match to test against to see if the same mutation
occurs. 25-marker test against 12/12 with 25 markers could also show
additional mutational distinctions disproving a match that might look
apparent with 12/12.
- 25
marker test-two mutations, no other exact matches. Seeking a distant
cousin of that 23/25 match to test against as well as upgrading when that
occurs for finer results to 37 markers would be beneficial.
Therefore,
we’re going to recommend this. Starting with the 25 marker test or if you want
to, initially get the 37-marker test, but if there are no other 37-marker participants, you will not have a base to test
against. There is some very good information on the front page, right hand
side, of the Family Tree DNA site which is must reading, including this http://www.familytreedna.com/markerschart.html

HAPLOGROUP
ASSIGNMENTS:
Haplo numbers in the table identify the haplogroups to which Family Tree DNA has assigned the haplotypes. The initial assignments are made on the basis
of probability. Most of the time these are *suggested* results and require a haplogroup test to know for certain.
The
haplogroup designations are those established by the
Y Chromosome Consortium (YCC) in 2008. The YCC system permits greater precision
in defining haplogroups than previous systems. One
familiar predecessor system used the categories HG1, HG2 and HG3 to classify
most individuals of European origin. HG1 identified the haplogroup
that is now called R1b in the YCC system; HG2 identified a haplogroup
that is now largely classified as “I” (upper case “i”,
the alphabetic character, and not the numeral “1”), but which also includes haplogroups that are now differentiated in the YCC system;
and HG3 identified the haplogroup now called R1a.
The
old HG classification system has the potential to be misleading.
HAPLOGROUP DEFINITIONS: Family Tree
DNA provided the following thumbnail summaries of the different haplogroups
|
E1b1b1
|
This haplogroup
probably originated in eastern Africa and is about 25,000 years old. It
expanded into the Mediterranean during the Pleistocene Neolithic expansion.
It is currently distributed around the Mediterranean, southern Europe, and in
north and east Africa. Lineages that do not belong to any of this haplogroup’s branches are found mainly in eastern and
southern Africa
|
|
E1b1b1a2
|
E1b1b1a2 This
lineage is found in high frequencies in Europe, and can also be found in
northeastern Africa. It is most frequent in the Balkans, but is rare in the
Near East outside of Turkey. Estimates of its age vary from 11,000 to 17,000
years ago. It likely originated in western Asia, reached the Balkans shortly
afterwards, and from there spread into Europe within the last 5,000 years.
|
|
I
|
The I, I1, and I1a lineages are nearly completely
restricted to northwestern Europe. These would most likely have been common
within Viking populations. One lineage of this group extends down into
central Europe.
|
|
I1a
|
The I1a lineage likely has its roots in northern
France. Today it is found most frequently within Viking / Scandinavian
populations in northwest Europe and has since spread down into Central and
Eastern Europe, where it is found at low frequencies.
|
|
I1b
|
This line was derived
within Viking / Scandinavian populations in northwest Europe and has since
spread down into southern Europe where it is present at low frequencies.
|
|
R1
|
The undifferentiated R1 lineage
is quite rare. It is found only at very low frequencies in Europe, Central
Asia, and South Asia. This lineage possibly originated in Europe and then
migrated east into Asia.
|
|
R1a
|
The R1a lineage is believed to have originated in
the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black and Caspian Seas. This lineage is
believed to have originated in a population of the Kurgan culture, known for
the domestication of the horse (approximately 3000 B.C.E.). These people were
also believed to be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group.
This lineage is currently found in central and western Asia, India, and in
Slavic populations of Eastern Europe.
|
|
R1b1
|
Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup
in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as
humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago.
This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the
Atlantic modal haplotype.
|
|
R1b1c
|
Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup
in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as
humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago.
This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the
Atlantic modal haplotype.
|
|
R1b1b2
|
Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup
in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as
humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago.
This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the
Atlantic modal haplotype.
|
|
R1b1b2e
|
Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup
in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as
humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago.
Its branch R1b1c7 is primarily found in Northern Ireland, and contains the
Niall Modal Haplotype.

Back to top
In
almost all cases, any two members of a haplogroup or subclade—even those with different surnames—will share a more
recent common ancestor than either one of them will share with a member of a
predecessor haplogroup from which their haplogroup ultimately derives. Thus any R individual will
be share a more recent common ancestor with another R than with a Q. Similarly,
an R and a Q will share a more recent common ancestor than either will share
with either an I or a J. Similarly, an
I and a J will share a common ancestor more recent than the one either
of them shares with an R or a Q.
These
relationships can be seen here in
the table of haplogroup relationships established by
the Y-Chromosome Consortium. This is a large file that will be slow to load
over dial-up connections. It is recommended that interested individuals
download and save the PDF version
(over five megs) in order to have it available for
ready reference on their own computers. The full report from which this table
is taken can be accessed here.
