      A Guide for creating and understanding your

      ANCESTRAL PATTERN

      Suitable for amateur genealogists and DNA project administrators seeking to identify common factors in family tree members, which may not be identifiable through other methods, this guide provides a brief description of the parameters that can be effectively applied. It gives step-by-step instructions on how to create your own ancestral pattern, or that for your sample, in a way that is easy to follow, with screen shots and descriptive texts that will help to avoid mistakes.

      SUMMARY OF EXERCISE and ACHIEVABLE OBJECTIVES

      Ancestral Pattern is a different way of looking at results from genetic testing in human beings. It is a valuable tool in understanding what we are looking at when we see a row of 37 or more numbers displayed across a page, or certificate, after conducting a test to track your ancestors. It is a doorway which we are just going through and expect it will produce many surprises as more and more people understand what it means.

      Your Ancestral Pattern or those of the people you administer in your database, is the pattern that each individual carries with them in their Y-DNA and passes on to their offspring. This pattern is family specific since it is inherited. The convention held up until this point has claimed that Y-DNA markers, used by genetic testing companies to produce a trace your ancestors type test, called DYS markers, have values that mutate up and down in a completely random way.

      This is because when those who have done DNA studies of large databases of DNA look at the values of the markers in those databases they do appear to change in a completely random way. However this is not the case, and I shall demonstrate this shortly. Understanding that these mutations are not random opens the door to many people who have until now met a brick wall in their genetic family research.

      Perhaps the average person will not benefit greatly from creating their own Ancestral Pattern, but it will provide insight that has hitherto been missing from DNA family research. Those who are adopted may be able to identify a pattern belonging to their genetic family, which whilst it will not identify the father in a forensic way, may allow the ability for other research to close the gap. Those who wish to know where their family came from prior to the compilation of Census data (appx. 1800AD in most countries) may also be able to identify those who would be shortlisted as possible family members long before that date. Those who suspect connections in historical research, but cannot identify which route to follow, will find the study of Ancestral Pattern a means of narrowing the gap. Lastly, those who are interested in history can use the concept of Ancestral Pattern to identify the path of human development, working the pattern back to its roots. We all know that we are ultimately related to one common ancestor - Ancestral Pattern can open the door to understanding who we are and where we came from.

      Ancestral Pattern is carried in a family from father to son in the unchanged part of Y chromosome – its study is the study of individuals, using the observable fact that this part of the DNA mutates according to a set of rules. Those rules are currently not known in absolute terms, but are solid enough to publish. What we can see, if we look at populations as a whole, is what appears to be random movement of markers. If we take my surname AUSTIN and look at the database of Austins held by the Austin/Austen organisation of North America, there is an extensive table of people who have the Austin surname.

      This database information can be displayed with the marker details along the top, with the samples detailed in rows in a simple format:

      This is a good example of where Ancestral Pattern can assist database administrators and family researchers alike. The Austins of America currently have an unknown patriarch who arrived in the USA, like many American families, very shortly after the first pilgrims arrived on that shore.
