Preliminary Results

I have reworked and reorganized all of the DNA Results and sorted everyone by Haplogroup rather than location. I did this because 1st: People within the Westmoreland Family are known to have emigrated to both Ireland and the US, so this one genetic family is spread out over at least three different countries, and 2nd: Within the same country there are members of two different families living in close proximity (for example, within the state of Virginia during the 1600s). By staying focused on the genetics of the surnames rather than the specific locations as the primary factor and treating location as secondary, it should be less confusing which people are related to whom.

Within the Claiborne/Clyborn families there are two predominant Haplogroups - I-M170 & R-M269. These two groups alone account for 45 of the 57 Y-DNA results present.
