Hi Berlene,
? Ditto, I hope everyone is surviving the pandemic. CNN reported that things are probably not going to get back to normal until the end of 2021. Sigh.
If you go to ?and go to the Participants page and search on 4180, you will see that the ancestor of that kit is Baswell/Basil Daniel and there is a brief biography and one other kit mentioned that matches kit 4180.?
There eleven total matches to kit 4180, from kit 14274 to kit 679974 on the Results page of the Daniel DNA web site. Five of the kit owners have not listed who their ancestor has been proven to be.
Part of the greeting email to new participants stresses the desirability of naming their earliest ancestor who can be proved using primary records, but it is up to them if they do so.
The kit owner has control of listing the earliest ancestor that they can prove using primary records (ideally). If there is no name, they have chosen to not add one.?
Y DNA does not lie if it tells that we do or do not connect to someone else on a paternal line. Only primary record evidence can prove how we connect.?
Best,
Kevin
