Donald G. Locke Jr. 

1 Free 12 marker DNA test is being offered by a sponsor if he can prove his kinship to 
Leander Lock b. 1822 of Lincoln County Tennessee. Email me if you are one of his descendants and are willing to take the test. 


A free 25 marker DNA kit has been offered to the Lock(e) man who can prove his kinship back to
Francis Alexander Locke through any of his sons. This family lived in Union County Arkansas as late as the 1960's, possibly still in Union County Arkansas
today. Looking for male Lock(e) descendants of Francis Alexander Locke b. December 11, 1827 Alabama, d. January 04, 1902 Union County Arkansas.
Some descendants moved on to Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico. If you are a direct male
Francis Alexander Locke descendant, please contact me privately

Join the Lock / Locke DNA project
Lock(e) DNA join link USA
Or for you in Europe http://www.familytreedna.ch/ 
Be sure to state your joining the Locke DNA project in order to get the project discount prices!

We need donations to the project. Several of the Lock(e)'s I have talked to have financial difficulties that prevent them from participating. You can help by making a donation towards the project. There are currently 2 men on the waiting list for a free 12 marker test. 
A donation can help pay for a 12 marker test, 25 marker test, 37 marker test. Or help upgrade an existing test.  http://www.familytreeDNA.com/contribution.html 
There is currently $8.00 in the general fund. 
With your support, this project can only get bigger and better! 

To date, 5 free tests have been ordered thanks to sponsor's! And the project paid in part for 2 tests. Thank you all for your support and keep up the great work! 
Here is a link to view all the kind folks who have made donations to the Lock / Locke DNA project. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/lockeroots/DNADonations.html


Test kits starting with the letter N, are National Geographic Society, Genographic DNA project who have transferred their tests to FTDNA. 

Haplo Group listed in Green have been SNP tested and confirmed. 
Tests in Red are unconfirmed and are estimated.  

For Groups only: Markers in white indicate a mutation between cousins. Markers mutate every so often, it doesn't mean a whole lot really, but it is of interest to note which branches of the tree had certain marker mutations. As more men are tested, we may find someone who DNA tests who doesn't know who his ancestors were. Through certain mutations, we might be able to identify exactly which branch of a tree he descended from just by looking at certain mutations he may carry.

Group 6 
Kit # 48156 & 60256 William Hamilton Lock b. May 19, 1808 in Virginia
He married Cynthia Pierce and they lived in Lincoln County, Tennessee
This is a 12/12 marker match to family # 13
Kit # 31502 John Lock b. abt 1650 in England? , 
his descendants lived in Northumberland County Virginia. Through his son Richard W. Lock
Kit # 68501 Green W. Lock b. about 1818 of Williamson County , Tennessee

There is no paper trail to link in family 52, 13, 53, but they are good 12/12 matches and do have some things in common with each other. 
Until all 4 participants upgrade, we can not be sure if they will continue to be a good match at the higher marker levels.

Example so you know how to compare your results to another participants test. 

This example, I will show you two 12 marker tests that do not match. 
13 25 14 10 11 16 12 12 12 13 13 29
13 24 14 11 11 14 12 12 12 13 13 29
----------------------------------------------- Subtract one set of numbers from the other
0   1    0   1   0   2   0   0   0   0   0   0  <--- then add the numbers up = 4
Then subtract 4 from 12 = 8    This is an 8/12 match. The same applies for 25 marker tests, 
and 37 marker tests. You just have more numbers to compare with. The closer the match the better. 

If there are no mismatched numbers, you have an exact match with that other participant. 
For the 12 marker test, anything less than 12/12 is considered to be very iffy if there is a kinship. 
But it is still possible.

Haplo Group descriptions from FTDNA ©
Y Haplo Group descriptions associated with this project to date.

H - H1  This haplogroup is nearly completely restricted to India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan

I1b  The Balkan countries likely harbored this subgroup of I during the Last Glacial Maximum. Today, this branch is found distributed in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, and extends further east with Slavic-speaking populations

J2  This lineage originated in the northern portion of the Fertile Crescent where it later spread throughout central Asia, the Mediterranean, and south into India. As with other populations with Mediterranean ancestry this lineage is found within Jewish populations.

R1  The undifferentiated R1 lineage is quite rare. It is found only at very low frequencies in Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia. This lineage possibly originated in Europe and then migrated east into Asia.

R1a  The R1a lineage is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black & Caspian Seas. This lineage is thought to descend from a population of the Kurgan culture, known for the domestication of the horse (circa 3000 B.C.E.). These people were also believed to be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group. This lineage is found in central & western Asia, India, and in Slavic populations of Europe.

R1a1  The R1a lineage is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black & Caspian Seas. This lineage is thought to descend from a population of the Kurgan culture, known for the domestication of the horse (circa 3000 B.C.E.). These people were also believed to be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group. This lineage is found in central & western Asia, India, and in Slavic populations of Europe.

R1b  Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype

R1b1  Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype.

R1b1b  This haplogroup has been detected in some populations throughout Eurasia. Its spread may have been aided by trade such as that along the Silk Road. Further research will help in identifying its origins, history, and distribution

R1b1c  Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype.

R1b1c6  Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. Its branch R1b1c6 is found primarily in the British Isles, but can also be found at lower frequencies around Western Europe.

R1b1c7  Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. Its branch R1b1c7 is primarily found in Northern Ireland, and contains the Niall Modal Haplotype.

E3a  Haplogroup E3a is an African lineage. It is currently hypothesized that this haplogroup dispersed south from northern Africa within the last 3,000 years with the Bantu agricultural expansion. E3a is also the most common lineage among African Americans. It can be found at its highest frequency in Senegal and is also found at a very low frequency in North Africa and the Middle East.

 through the Altai / Baikal region of northern Eurasia into the Americas.

C3  The C3 lineage is believed to have originated in southeast or central Asia. This lineage then spread into northern Asia, and then into the Americas.

D  Haplogroup D is an old lineage that evolved in Asia where it is hypothesized to have been widely distributed. This Haplogroup was present in the first people to colonize Japan. This Haplogroup was later displaced from much of Asia by other colonizing groups, but is still present at intermediate frequencies in the aboriginal Japanese and on the Tibetan plateau. It is also found at low frequencies in Mongolian populations and the Altais people of central Asia.

E  This lineage originates in Africa and is nearly completely restricted to African populations.

E1  This haplogroup is restricted to Africa where it occurs at intermediate frequencies. It is less common than its sister lineage E3a.

E2  This haplogroup is restricted to Africa where it occurs at intermediate frequencies. It is less common than its sister lineage E3a.

E3  This lineage is rare in European populations tested and is geographically restricted to sub-Saharan Africa. It is most frequent in Ethiopian populations and probably originated in eastern Africa.

G  This lineage may have originated in India or Pakistan, and has dispersed into central Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The G2 branch of this lineage (containing the P15 mutation) is found most often in the Europe and the Middle East.

G2  The G lineage may have originated in India or Pakistan, and has dispersed into central Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The G2 branch of this lineage (containing the P15 mutation) is found most often in the Europe and the Middle East.

I  Haplogroup I dates to 23,000 years ago or longer. Lineages not in branches I1a, I1b or I1c are found distributed at low frequency throughout Europe.

I1a1  The I1a lineage likely has its roots in Northern France. Today it is found most frequently within Viking / Scandinavian populations in northwest Europe and has since spread down into Central and Eastern Europe, where it is found at low frequencies.

I1a3  The I1a lineage likely has its roots in northern France. Today it is found most frequently within Viking / Scandinavian populations in northwest Europe and has since spread down into Central and Eastern Europe, where it is found at low frequencies.

I1a4  The I1a lineage likely has its roots in northern France and is found most frequently found today within Viking / Scandinavian populations in northwest Europe. Its I1a4 branch is found scattered in eastern and southeastern Europe.

I1b  The Balkan countries likely harbored this subgroup of I during the Last Glacial Maximum. Today, this branch is found distributed in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, and extends further east with Slavic-speaking populations.

J1  Haplogroup J1 is found at highest frequencies in Middle Eastern and north African populations where it most likely evolved. This marker has been carried by Middle Eastern traders into Europe, central Asia, India, and Pakistan. The Cohen modal lineage is found in Haplogroup J1*.

K2  The K2 lineage is an old lineage presently found only at low frequencies in Africa, Asia, and in the Middle East. This specific line is found at low frequency in southern Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East.

N  This haplogroup is distributed throughout Northern Eurasia. It is the most common Y-chromosome type in Uralic speakers (Finns and Native Siberian). This lineage most likely originated in northern China or Mongolia and then spread into Siberia where it became a very common line in western Siberia.

O  This lineage dates to about 35,000 years ago when it evolved in Central or East Asia. Over 80% of today's East Asian population is haplogroup O, and this lineage is nearly completely restricted to East Asian populations.

O1  This haplogroup is found at very high frequency in the aboriginal Taiwanese (possibly due to genetic drift). This haplogroup probably originated in East Asia and later migrated into the south Pacific. Individuals carrying this lineage are thought to have been important in the expansion of the Austronesian language group into Taiwan, Indonesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

Q  The Q lineage is the lineage that links Asia and the Americas. This lineage is found in North and Central Asian populations as well as native Americans. Among European populations, haplogroup Q is found most frequently in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. This lineage is believed to have originated in Central Asia and migrated
