| Milit-Beg* | He began military service in 05/__/1945.4 |
| Milit-End* | He ended military service in 07/__/1975; He retired from the US Navy after 30 years of service.4 |
| Collaborators* | He and Kenny Guy Braxton started sharing family history in __/__/2002. We have shared information about the Oliver Braxton family of Abbeville, Henry County Alamba and Cerrogordo, Holmes County, North Carolina who was a descendant of the William Braxton Family of Orange, Chatham and Alliance County, North Carolina.6,7,3,8,1,2,9,4
|
| DNA* | He and Kenny Guy Braxton had genetic testing completed through the 12 Marker Test (Y-DNA12). This test is the world standard to verify the Y chromosome for genetic matches between males. Our 12 marker results were identical, which means our Most Recent Common Ancestor (MCRA) has the probability of occurring in the following timeframes: within 7 generations, 50% likelihood - within 23 generations, 90% likelihood - within 29 generations, 95% likelihood. The test results also indicate that we are both in the Haplogroup: R1b1b2. A Haplogroup is a genetic population group associated with early human migrations and which can today be associated with a geographic region. It is important to note that even though female and male haplogroups may have the same letters, their definitions are different. 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 age 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype indicating ancestor most likely from England Curtis' testing was performed by Family Tree DNA. on 12/21/2005.6 |
