Kit # 37648
This is a 67 marker test. There are several differences from the Olive Group Norm.
DYS464c: 16 vs 17 - There are two others with this value so it may turn out to identify a line.
However, others descending from John & Elizabeth Ellyson do not
have this value.
There is one other line that needs additional tests to verify a connection.
DYS464b: 14 vs 16 - This is a moderately changing marker
CDY: 35-36 vs 36-36 - This is a faster changing marker
DYS487:14 vs 13 - This is a very slow changing marker
It is unlikely that the research line of descent is the same as the paternal line. However the paternal line is still within the Johnson family, it may just have a more distant connection
