A Curious DNA Result
Taken From DNA Testing by “The Genographic Project”
The Ancestral Migration Paths of the Paternal Lines of Brashears, Vaughn and Curtis are identical over the past 100,000 years. The Brashears' immigrated to America in ca 1635 from Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France via the Isle of Thanet Parish, Kent County, England. The Vaughn's arrived in Virginia ca 1700 from Plâs Thomas, Pentre-brain, Dudleston, Ellesmere, Shropshire, West Midlands, England. The Curtis' Family set sail on the "Ship Safety" in London on 10 Aug 1635 and were from Nazeing, Essex, England. It is quite a coincidence that three of my grandfathers not only shared the same Haplogroup R but all subsequent mutations as well. Haplogroup R originated in Central Asia. Most descendants belong to one of two major lineages. They are present at low frequencies across Central Asia, South Asia, and Europe.
