How much do you know about DNA Testing? There are basically
three different types of DNA testing: the Y-Chromosome DNA Test
for males, the Mitochondrial DNA Test for males & females and
the Autosomal DNA Test for males & females. This page
concentrates on the Y-Chromosome Test. |
|
|
|
|
Y-Chromosome TEST |
|
The Y-Chromosome of a male is passed down to his prodigy
virtually unchanged from generation to generation. My
Paternal Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, Father and I (as well
as my son) have the
same Y-Chromosome pattern. Females do not receive Y-DNA
from their fathers so females cannot be tested for the paternal
line. They would need to have a brother, father, uncle,
nephew or cousin
tested to find the results. |

5 Generations of Loftins
(Left to Right) William Alexander, Alonzo Lester, Sam
William, Curtis Dean and Philip Daniel |
|
|
Our ancestors left clues in our DNA that can determine our deep
ancestral origins as well as help us find those long lost
relatives. When you look at old photos of relatives such as
parents and grandparents its amazing to see the facial
similarities. Is it surprising that DNA would eventually
be able to give us information about our ancestry? |
|
When you compare a 12-Marker Y-Chromosome DNA Test result to another 12 Marker
Test result of someone with the same surname, and the results
match 12/12 (12 out of 12 chromosomes match), there is a 99% probability that
the two of you are
related within the last few generations. If you compare the 12 marker
test results to someone
who does not have the same surname, but the scores match,
you are most likely NOT "recently" related, but more than likely
do have a common ancestor within the past 40 generations (1000
years). |
|
|
Family groups move from state-to-state and even
country-to-country over a period of time. The Loftins have
lived in the US since the 1600, and some believe in England prior to
that. A look at common DNA traits may reveal some
interesting observations. |
|
|
|
In the Fall of 2006, when I started researching my own family
genealogy, I decided to do a Y-Chromosome DNA Test through
Family Tree
DNA to see just what I could find out about
my ancestry. Family Tree DNA maintains a database - the
largest of its kind in the world when comparing male DNA. They are the pioneer and
the world's largest DNA company in the field of genetic
genealogy. |
|
|
As of 22 May 2017, there are 177 individuals with the same 12
Y-Chromosome DNA markers as me at Family Tree DNA. Some are
closely related to me while others are very distantly related. |

My "Loftin" HAPLOGROUP
As time has passed, additional information has
becomes available about Haplogroups.
Since 2007, the specifics of my Haplogroup have been redefined,
updated and changed.
This shows how my Haplogroup has changed over the years:
E3b1 in 2007
E1b1b1 (or E-M35) as of December 2010
E1b1b (or E-M78)
as of March 2015
E1b1b (or E-M35)
as of May 2017
|
|
If you get your DNA tested, chances are you
will come across the term “Haplogroup.” What is a
Haplogroup and how does it pertain to your family history? At
its essence, a haplogroup is an ancestral clan. The Vikings,
Native Americans, Celts and Aborignal Australians are examples
of Haplogroups. Your Haplogroup tells you where your ancestors
came from way back in time. |
|
Haplogroups E1a and E2 (not
mine) are
found almost exclusively in Africa. Haplogroup E1b1b
(mine)
is observed in significant frequencies in Europe and Western
Asia in addition to Africa. Haplogroup E1b1a
(NOT mine) is almost exclusively associated with
West/Central/South/Southeastern Africans.
|
|
Haplogroup E1b1b
(mine) is also common in the Near East (which
includes the countries of Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq,
Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia)
from where it spread into the Balkans and the rest of Europe.
E1b1b (mine) has three common subclades: M78, M81, and M35. |
|
A significant proportion of Jewish male
lineages are E1b1b1 (E-M35). It is the second largest Haplogroup for
Jews. Haplogroup E1b1b1
accounts for approximately 18% to 20% of Ashkenazi Jews and 8.6% to
30% of Sephardic Jews. It appears to be one of the
major founding lineages of the Jewish population. 12% of
Spanish Jews are E1b1b
(same as mine), 20%
of Eastern European Jews (the ones who migrated east after they
moved northward through Italy) are also E1b1b
(mine).
Albert Einstein was from the 20% of Eastern European Jews and
belongs to the Haplogroup E1b1b
(same as mine). |
|
Of those who have the exact
12-markers as me, Germany, England and Italy are the countries with the
largest number of matches, but not necessarily the largest
percentage. It has long been believed that the Loftins
came from England, but where were they before England? |
|
Percentages above 2% are considered "significant"
indicators of our family's origins.
Percentages above 4% are interpreted as "highly significant"
indicators of our family's origins. |
|
|
These countries from my 1-step mutation list are considered
"significant" or "highly significant" |
|
The "Significant" family origins from the list below are Serbia,
Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia and Italy. The "Highly
Significant" family origins are Bulgaria, Greece and Bosnia. |

12-marker matches from Bulgaria but only 324 men have
been tested from that country. Therefore, even though I
have more Italian matches, the percentage is only 0.9%
for Italy where Bulgaria is much larger at 5.2%. |
|
|
Previously it had been assumed that the
Haplogroup E1b1b1 (or E-M35) "arose in East Africa" and the Haplogroup was "often incorrectly described as “African,”
leaving a misimpression regarding the origin and complex history
of this Haplogroup". According to the International Society of
Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) and National Geographic's Genographic
Project, E1b1b1 may have arisen instead in the Near East
(which is Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq,
Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia) or the
Middle East and then expanded into the Mediterranean with the
spread of agriculture. |
|
|
The following DNA matches are individuals that seem to be most significant
when compared to my DNA. As of May 2017 there are 177
individuals who match me on the Y-DNA12 Test (or the 12-Marker
Test). That means that somewhere in the past we share a
common ancestor. Those who have the last name "Loftin"
share a more recent ancestor with me and are more closely
related. I've communicated
with some of these 177 people and have added the information of
the most pertinent individuals to the chart below.
These "pertinent" individuals also match me on the 25 and
37-Marker Test. |

If two 12 marker results match for two participants with

common ancestor in 1835, the DNA test has validated the
research and proven that the two descendents are
related. In this example, you have two items of evidence
to support that the individuals tested are related … a
documented paper trail and the DNA results. In addition,
the research provided a precise time frame for the

My 2012 email communication to James
Coldman Loftin was through Belinda Jacks. At the
time, James was in his late 90s and he did not do email.
Belinda says, "This Loftin family is
from Thicket Texas. They descend from Ezekial Loftin
who lived in Georgia and Mississippi. He was a minute
man but his ancestors go back to Leonard Loftin.
As I understand it, he is the only one of the brothers
who left the North Carolina area. My story is kind of
convoluted. My actual descendant is Martha Ann Loftin
whose father was Jesse Loftin. We paid for the DNA
test of another descendant hoping to connect our
ancestor. This definitely proves that Ezekiel's
descendants are connected to Leonard." |

However, my Dad's DNA test shows that he is actually of
Ashkenazi roots, but there are a couple of hits from the

assimilated in Mexico they became Catholic. His father
was originally Catholic but became a Protestant. My dad

She further says, "We've got a pretty good idea of when
the McGuire clan came from Kentucky and landed in
Oklahoma. A large number of them stayed in Indiana and
that's why I've found other McGuires (quite by accident)
who are still in that area. My McGuires migrated from
Kentucky through Missouri and then stayed in Oklahoma
for some time. Just a few came up to Kansas."
"Lee's grandfather was Methodist and we are Lutheran so
that's another tidbit. Most distant relative is
may be an UNKNOWN Stephens and Jane McGuire. " |

GGG-Grandfather: Mathew
Stephens married Society Loftin. |
Mathew Stephens was a young man who was adopted by the Loftin
family and moved to Mississippi with them. Family
Records indicate that Matthew's wife Society Loftin descended from Leonard
Loftin from England. Matthew was said to be a
Baptist circuit preacher even though he couldn't read or
write. Mathew and Society had a daughter, Nancy
Stephens who never married. She is Ralph's GG-Grandmother.
Nancy had a son, Thomas Jefferson Stephens (Ralph's
G-Grandfather). Ralph has a 25-point proven match
between himself and one of his father's cousins. A
branch of the Loftin family lived near the Stephens
household and it seems quite possible that Nancy
Stephens could have had a relationship with one of them. |
Thomas Jefferson Stephens and his descendents were
Mormon. Ralph's Dad and his Dad's 1/2 first cousin
are two of the few descendents from Thomas that are
NOT
Mormon. |
There seems to be a connection to the Loftin line both
through Ralph's GGG-Grandmother, Society Loftin, and also
through his G-Grandfather's "Unknown Father". |
Ralph's 67 point study provided him with a Haplogroup
match (E3b1a) which has origins in North AFRICA, and
then seems to migrate from there through Greece, Italy,
England and finally the US. Even the names of
Society's ancestors (Benoni Loftin & Leonard Loftin)
seem to have had roots in Italy. |

Family Tree DNA
is one of the world's leading authorities in
the field of Genetics.
The Y-DNA 12 Marker Test "was"
available at a cost of about $150. |
|
|
|
|
In May 2008, I was encouraged by Ralph
Stephens to have my Family Tree DNA Test upgraded from a
12-Marker Test to a 25-Marker Test. The cost of the
upgrade was $49. DNA is kept on file at Family Tree DNA
for years and upgrades can be acquired easily. The results from the 25-Marker Test
arrived on 01 Jul 2008. Needless to say, if a person
matches me on the 25-Marker Test, we're more closely related. As
of May 2017, I have sixty three 25-Marker matches. |

Sylvia Wasiolek manages her brother Robert Cardenas'
FTDNA account. She says "the Cardenas name has its
origins in northern Spain. We've traced our genealogy
back to the Cardenas male ancestor who emigrated to the
New World from Spain in the early 1500s." |

Geoff's 1st cousin,
Laurel Rockliff, sponsored the FTDNA test. She says,
"Our Dinning ancestor came from Garvagh, in
Northern Ireland, in 1862. I don’t know
where his Dinning father John, was born - possibly
elsewhere, and moved to Northern Ireland. John Hunter
Dinning emigrated to Australia in 1862 - so his
descendants are mainly in Australia. I am however,
living in New Zealand - but was born in Australia. I do
know that our John Hunter Dinning had siblings who
emigrated to America at around the same time - Stephen
Dinning and a sister." |

The Chuvash
Republic is part of Russia. It is the
homeland of the Chuvash people, a Turkic ethnic group.
It is in the center of European Russia. The ancestors of
the Chuvash were Bulgars and Suars - which were Turkic
tribes-residing in the Northern Caucasus in the
5th to 8th centuries. This is especially interesting
because my/Curtis' Autosomal DNA Test with Ancestry.com
says that I'm 2% West Asian (which is Caucasus). |

All ten of my significant matches on the 25-Marker Test
had been "Exact" matches on the 12-Marker Test - when
means that all "12" of our genetic markers (or numbers)
were exactly the same as mine. When they were tested on
the 25-Marker Test, they all had a genetic distance (or
change) of "1" on one of the 25 markers. Those 10
individuals are "more recently" related to me.
Those on the bottom part of this list share a common
ancestor with me but our connection is much farther back
in time. |

September 2008 DNA Update |
|
|
In September 2008, I decided to upgraded my
12-Marker Test and 25-Marker Test to a 37-Marker Test.
Ralph Stephens was once again a match - in the beginning, my
only match, but that changed as the years passed. As of May
2017, I have nine 37-Marker matches. |

* When tested on the 37-Marker Test, a few of the
genetic markers changed "slightly" for my significant
matches. Don Lofton, Harry Loftin, Jerry Wayne Lowery and Ralph
Stevens still matched me exactly on 36 of the markers
with a slight change on 1 on the markers. |
** James Coldman Loftin's genetic distance had
increased from "1" to "2". |
*** D.J. Stone's genetic distance had increased
from "2" (on the 25-Marker Test) to "3". |
**** Ken Adcox's genetic distance had increased
from "1" to "4" |
|
Unfortunately Donald R. Loftin and
Raymond Loftin have only taken the Y-DNA12 test. I
believe further testing would have shown our DNA
connection on the 25-Marker and the 37-Marker Tests.
Through correspondence with Raymond Loftin, I know that
our common ancestor was James Loftin (& Susannah
Sherrill). |
|
Also, Hudson Lee McGuire, Jr., and
Bobby E. Stephens only took the 12 and 25-Marker Tests.
Had they taken the 37-Marker Test, I feel sure they
would have also been matches. |

Orville & Wilbur Wright |
|
The Wright Brothers, Orville (19
Aug 1871 – 30 Jan 1948) and Wilbur (16 Apr 1867 –
30 May 1912), were two
Americans who are generally credited with inventing and building
the world's first successful airplane and making the first
controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight,
on 17 Dec 1903.
The Wright Brothers belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1b1 (the
same as our Loftin DNA), subclade E1b1b1a2 (V13). They were
supposedly descended from Robert Wright of Brook Hall, Essex,
England. |

There was definitely a common ancestor with the Wrights and
Loftins but without the same last name, it could have been 40
generations back. |

30 Mar 2015 Update |
|
The E1b1b (or
E-M78) lineage is
estimated to have originated in North Eastern Africa.
Some of its branches exited Africa and today can be
found in the Middle East and Europe. |
|
From: Haplogroup E1b1b (E-M78)
http://www.academia.edu/6089365/Origins_and_history_of_Haplogroup_E1b1b_Y-DNA_
|
Outside Europe, E1b1b is found at
high frequencies in Morocco (over 80%), Somalia (80%),
Ethiopia (40% to 80%), Tunisia (70%), Algeria (60%),
Egypt (40%), Jordan (25%), and Lebanon (17.5%). On
the European continent it has the highest concentration
in Kosovo (over 45%), Albania and Montenegro (both 27%),
Bulgaria (23%), Macedonia and Greece (both 21%),
Cyprus
(20%), Sicily (20%), South Italy (18.5%),
Serbia (18%)
and Romania (15%).
Nowadays E1b1b is the only
Mediterranean haplogroup
consistently found throughout Europe, even in Norway,
Sweden, Finland and Baltic countries.
E-V12 is the most common subclade of E-M78 in southern
Egypt (over 40% of the population). |

Jan 2016
- Second DNA Test |
|
|
In January 2016, I decided to take
my next DNA test - this time through Ancestry.com.
For $80 I ordered the test that would give me a specific
breakdown of where my ancestors came from by
percentages. To see this "Ethnicity
Estimate" from my Autosomal DNA,
CLICK HERE.
This information changed drastically in the Spring of
2019. This page reflects the updated information. |
