Brown/Browne/Braun DNA Study: Marker Values for Groups Eleven thru Nineteen
Click here for other Groups
The members of each relationship group below (Groups No. 11 through No. 19) are likely as a rule to share common Brown ancestors with fellow group members inside a "genealogical" time frame, that is, approximately since the widespread introduction of surnames in western Europe during the 15th century.
These groupings are strictly tentative, however, and they will necessarily be revised from time to time. What's more, the identification of specific common ancestors for any group will generally depend more upon conventional "paper" genealogy than upon additional DNA testing.
To the extent that there are mistakes in the groupings, we have tried to err on the side of inclusiveness by using selection criteria broader than those employed by many other surname-tracing projects. In technical terms, we view a false negative as worse than a false positive, so we prefer to err toward the latter. One implication is that some of this project's Groups will almost surely lose members -- or even "break down" -- if all their members should eventually upgrade from 12 to 25 or more markers. Such outcomes are most probable for Groups equal or close to the so-called "Atlantic Modal Haplotype" (AMH), as for example Group Nos. 5, 15, 18, 20, 56, 59, 87, 88 and 89. For more information on the AMH issue, see the discussion under Group No. 20.
Criteria for Determining Relationship Groups:
For Haplogroup R1b and its subclades: Members must match 12/12 on the first 12 markers, at least 23/25 on the first 25 markers, or at least 33/37 on the first 37 markers.
For all other Haplogroups: Members must match at least 11/12 on the first 12 markers, at least 23/25 on the first 25 markers, or at least 33/37 on the first 37 markers.
Note on Modal Values within Groups: In cases where a specific marker's modal value is undefined, a value is substituted from among the modal values for all project members with the same haplogroup.
Color coding for Haplogroups:
Green = haplogroup proven by independent SNP test
Red = haplogroup inferred from STR's with high confidence (no SNP test)
Blue = haplogroup inferred from STR's with medium to low confidence (no SNP test)
Black = haplogroup presented with unknown confidence (SNP status not known)

Note 1: The members of Group No. 15 have a DNA signature within one step of the "Atlantic Modal Haplotype" (AMH),
meaning among other things that their matches are somewhat less likely to be significant than are the matches in
this project's "non-AMH" groups. See the discussion under Group No. 20, below.
Note 2: The "Anonymous Browns" and the "Anonymous Browne" in this Group are four men tested by FTDNA who haven't joined the Brown DNA Study.
Note 3: It's almost certain that the composition of this Group would change if nos. 19465 and N48953 ever upgrade, or if we had results above marker 12 for the "Anonymous" men.

Note 1: The "Anonymous Brown(e)s" in this group are men tested by FTDNA who haven't yet joined the Brown DNA Study.
Note 2: The members of Group No. 18 have a DNA signature within one step of the "Atlantic Modal Haplotype" (AMH), meaning that the apparent matches in this Group are less likely to be significant than are the matches in most other Groups of the Brown project. See the discussion under Group No. 20. It's clear for Group No. 18, moreover, that at least some members would need to be transferred to other Groups or to our "Unique Haplotypes" category if we had values on markers 13 and above for the anonymous man.

Note 1: The "Anonymous Brown" in this group is a man tested by FTDNA who hasn't yet joined the Brown DNA Study.
Note 2: Participant no. 207076 appears not to share common Brown ancestry in a "genealogical time frame" (i.e., since about 1500 AD) with nos. 12550, 75257 and 8732.  Whether he is related to the other men in Group No. 19 can only be determined if those men should upgrade to at least 37 markers.

*  A deceased test participant.
**  Y-Search No. used for member not tested by FTDNA.
***  Indicates "null" or no result. Such cases are retested multiple times to confirm. The underlying science is still unsettled as to when these readings are caused by true deletions, as opposed to being caused by imperfect testing techniques. Regardless of cause, however, mutations that lead to null readings are normally passed to descendants just as are other mutations, meaning that related male lineages such as a father and his son will usually share a null value. Therefore a null value can generally be as useful as any other value for genealogical purposes.
**** Ancestral name used instead of participant's name.
***** Indicates a Brown-surnamed man tested by FTDNA who hasn't yet joined the Brown DNA Study	Indicates a Brown-, Braun-  or Browning-surnamed man tested by FTDNA who hasn't yet joined the Brown DNA Study.
