Dear Family Members who have donated to the DNA study:

This past year has been long but very rewarding. When we first met and talked about the DNA studies I had no idea how successful we would be. Some of us traveled to Ireland and there we got a test done that connected us to the Aghalee Hull's of Antrim, Ireland. This gives us a connection to the Hulls who migrated to Aghalee from Lancashire, England. I have been searching for 20 years to try and find where we might have come from before Richard Hull 1750 arrived in Dungiven area. Now we have a good chance of finding out.

Over the past year we have also been connected to 5 or 6 other Hull lines here in the US and these same lines may have originated of course in the same area. We are in the process of extending the tests of three family lines to the 37 degree or marker level and we are also going to be testing about 6 or 7 more people to help in completing the study. Two in Australia, one in England, three in Ireland and one in the US. If anyone would like to help fund a few more tests we would appreciate the funds because we only have enough to do about three more tests. We will eventually need to test 3 or 4 more in England in Lancashire and a couple of more additions to our current families so they are all at the same level.

I cannot emphasize the great potential this has and the terrific support your help in supporting these tests have been. I gave a presentation the other day at a Genealogy Conference and to do it I calculated the potential names we have added to our line by doing the tests. The chart below is that rough calculation. Once we have put all of the names into our system the DNA tests will more than double our family.Richard Hull b. ca. 1750, IRE

TMRCA (Time to the Most Recent Common Ancestor)

The algorithm taken from Bruce Walsh paper, Estimating the Time to the Most Recent Common Ancestor for the Y chromosome or Mitochondrial DNA for a Pair of Individuals. The TMRCA calculations use the average mutation rate for all the markers common between the pair of haplotypes being compared.

There are three selections for how the mutation rate is determined. The mutation rate selection uses the FTDNA derived mutation rates. This includes a rate of 0.00399 for the first 12 markers, 0.00481 for markers 13 through 25, and 0.00748 for the markers 26 through 37.

 

The close distances are highlighted for easier visualization of possible family relationships by the following:

·         0-9 Generations: green

·                                 10-19 Generations: yellow

·                                 20-29 Generations: pink

• 30-39 Generations: blue

Note that if units of years are chosen, the number of generations is multiplied by the specified rate of years per generation.

Infinite Allele Mutation Model
The infinite allele model says that the entire difference between allele values, no matter how large, is the result of one mutation.

The close distances are highlighted for easier visualization of possible family relationships by the following:

• Related : green
• Probably Related : yellow
• Possibly Related : pink
