(Only males with surname Franklin)
Also, send data showing your Franklin ancestry to roperld@vt.edu

To see how family branches can be distinguised by single mutations in the 25 markers in a more advanced Y-chromosome project, see Roper Y-Chromosome Project Family Connections.

Many of the participants are believe to be related according to the following chart:

These connections are shown in a different way in FranklinLawrenceDesc.pdf. However, note that three others (GWF, DWF & BF) are shown to be related to WWF, ELF & SAF, but they are not. The genealogy is incorrect. (GWF and BF are related according to the tests.)

Any Franklin male who wants to determine if he is in one of these families can find out by having his 25 markers measured; if he is in one of these families his markers will agree with the family's marker set or only differ by one or two mutations.

The single mutations, relative to the family markers, of the different family branches define the branches. Some different branches of FF1 & FF2 are defined by the following single mutations:

Earliest known ancestor in branch
Measured participant
(The single mutation could have occurred at any generation between the two.)
Y-chromosome
location
±(relative mutation from major family)
Henry Franklin Jr (c1749VA)
Wesley Willard Franklin (1913WA)
FF1: DYS439 +1 relative to FF1
Robert Lewis Franklin (c1715VA)
Isaac Bradley Franklin (1923MO)
FF2: DYS439 +1 relative to FF2
