UNDERSTANDING THE RESULTS:The DYS value numbers in red are considered to be
"fast-moving" markers, which means they are more susceptible to an increased
rate
of mutation. The markers highlighted in yellow are markers that are "one-step" off. These markers may have mutated in an upward or
downward direction,
but they may be useful in identifying modal signatures for Ezekiel and his sons.
The haplogroup (ethnic origin) has been SNP tested and
confirmed for haplogroup R1b, also known as the 'Western Atlantic Modal
Haplotype', which is the most common European group.
Western
Atlantic Modal Haplotype (WAMH): The most common haplotype in
Western Europe. The markers and most common repeat values are:
DYS19 = 14
DYS388 = 12
DYS390 = 24
DYS391 = 11
DYS392 = 13
DYS393 = 13
PROJECT RESULTS:
Y-chromosome DNA testing conclusively shows that the participants above share a common Fuller
ancestor. The row highlighted in green is
the deduced ancestral haplotype (DNA signature) for Ezekiel Fuller (Sr) of the Isle of
Wight, Virginia. The markers highlighted in
teal, may be mutations
that have been passed down specific lines since they are shared on different lines of descent.

International Society of Genetic Genealogy's glossary)
In November 2004, Family Tree DNA introduced a program
called "FTDNATiP" (Family Tree DNA Time Predictor) that calculates the
probability
of a common ancestor using DNA matches and it also allows for genealogical data
input. The seven 25-marker matches produced a result of
a 94.15% probability of a common ancestor in the last 300 years.

ELIGIBILITY:
Only males with the Fuller surname are eligible to
participate in the Y-chromosome DNA testing. If the Fuller surname was obtained by
the male
through adoption, or the taking of a stepfather's surname, then the DNA test will also not
work as far as revealing relation to others with the Fuller
surname. An inheritance chart
shows the path that the DNA follows through the generations. It is highly recommended that
you view the video
and
read through the "FAQ" page to learn more about genetic genealogy and it's
success stories. PLEASE NOTE: Females do not have a
Y-chromosome, which is what's utilized in Fuller surname DNA testing. However,
females can participate by recruiting male relatives with the Fuller surname
to DNA test. *NEW* in 2010 - ALL Fuller descendants
are welcome to join the Fuller DNA Project if they order or have already
taken
Family Tree DNA's new
Family Finder autosomal DNA test.

DNA TEST PRICING:
The Fuller DNA Project begins with the 37-marker Y-DNA test which receives the
special group discount rate of $149 through Family
Tree DNA. If this poses a financial obstacle to testing, please contact
regarding alternatives.
Family Tree DNA recently established a "General Fund" option for people to
contribute funds towards the cost of DNA testing. A General Fund
contribution can also be made "in memory" of someone. Click here
to contribute to the Fuller General Fund.
Scholarships/grants are available for male FULLER
surname residents of Great Britain - please contact me for qualifying details.
DNA COLLECTION METHOD:
The DNA is extracted painlessly from buccal cells
(saliva/cheek cells)
