Discussion of the sample Patriarch Page:

Summary:  Each Barton family is listed by "Earliest Ancestor", with sufficient branches to show the DNA testing representation.  Contact persons are actively sought and listed for most families.

Detailed Discussion:

1. "Lineage II" is actually one of 13 Family groupings from our Barton DNA Project.  It was selected because it is small enough to be easy to understand and complex enough to bring out the elements of a typical family.  In this particular case, Lineage II is also a Haplogroup.  For a World Families project, this Headline would typically be used to identify only the name of the Surname Project. 

2. Each "bullet" marks a known Family or branch which has an established genealogy, beginning with an "Earliest  Known Ancestor".

   1. A Family Branch is uniquely described by adding birth date, birth place, spouse's name, place lived or some other distinctive feature.  This is particularly important where a given name is prevalent throughout a surname.

   2. Some of the Family Branches in this example have a link at the Ancestor's name. 

      1. In the case of Roger, the link takes you a website for the Roger Barton Family.

      2. In the case of John (and a number of the other linked ancestors), the link takes you to a very simple listing of the generations in the tested pedigree.  Note that this listing stops before reaching the living generations to protect privacy

      3. In the case of Jeremiah, the link takes you to a page with 3 links, each of which is a narrative about a portion of the Jeremiah Barton Family (these are pdf files)

      4. In the case of Thomas Peter, the link takes you directly to a narrative (which was originally a word.doc)

      5. In the case of Geoffrey, the link takes you to the Barton database (note that the database feature is not available at this time for WorldFamilies projects).

      6. In the case of John, b ca 1756, the link takes you to a page with several of the above features.

   3. The next distinction is that some Family Branches are shown in "bold", which indicates a DNA participant.  Other branches are not bold, as they are not represented in the DNA Project.  (often, these are "target" families or branches where a DNA representative is needed.)

   4. The next distinction is in the color of the listings.  In this case, only three colors are used.  Blue designates Families or branches which have been tested, while black represents families and branches with no testing.  Red indicates a test in progress.

   5. The next component (example from Thomas, b c1575: B-33 (RG4015)) is the test number.  Barton DNA Project is now in its 4th phase,  or "D".  This test participant, B-33, was the 33rd participant in Phase 2 (B).  The info in parentheses denotes Relative Genetics' test #4015.

   6. The next piece of information is the "Line Leader" who is a person who has a special interest in this Family.  Often they are a well-known researcher of the Family.  Other times, they may be the sponsor, or even the test participant.   (Test Participants have the option of disclosing their identity or remaining anonymous.)  A link at the name takes you to the email address.  (The email address is hidden so that "web-crawlers" employed by the spammers can't find it) 

   7. The last element is the Haplotype of the Family or Branch, which is only given when known.  Using the example from Thomas, b c1574, "IIc": this participant matched into Lineage II, but had one or more mutations that created a unique Haplotype "c".  Other Families have a Haplotype which is identical to the Haplogroup; these received the "a" designation ("IIa").  There is also a Participant with a Haplotype IIb and one that is IId.  (Future variants of the Haplogroup will be identified as IIe, IIf, ...)

3. The next element of this page is the listing of Families which are "Still to be Categorized"  This example includes three different situations.  In the case of the Geoffrey family, the test result is not back, so it is not known what  Haplogroup this Family matches.  The "captain William" Family hasn't yet identified a representative for testing. The other three Families (Andrew, James & John) were each families whose DNA results were not a match to any other tested Barton family.  Until a match is made, these families are kept in this "catch-all" category.

4. The last element of this page is the two families that were expected to match Lineage II.  The Solomon family matched Lineage I, while the Richard family only matched each other as a father and son. (For a typical World Families Project, this element would likely be matches to other Surnames.) 

5. Other elements are possible.  World Families encourages a close adherence to this model, to simplify the learning needed by researchers as they sift through various sites looking for ancestral information from their many "maternal" lines.
