Analysis:  Wright and Harvey Gordon were raised as brothers, sons of James Harvey Gordon and Elizabeth Lacey Gordon.  As the DNA shows, Wright and Harvey have 2 different fathers.  We had suspected a second marriage because of the 20 year difference in their ages, but not considered the possibility that Wright may have had a different father.   Harvey is certainly of the Gordon lineage, as he is matching our big group of matching testers. 

When we got the differing results back, our first question was who is the break in the line?  It boiled down to only a couple of possibilities.  One was Wright himself, the other was a grandfather who had a sister old enough to be his mother who could have let her parents raise the child.  Believing that when in doubt, you go with the oldest connection, one descendant contacted a cousin who descended from a different son of Wright and Rosa Gordon.   Since the cousin is matching results, it means that Wright is the broken link.  If he had not matched the original tester, then contacting a cousin descending from one one of their grandfather's brothers would be needed to test for a match.  If he matched, it would mean that the great grandfather was the broken link.  If he matched Harvey, it would mean that the grandfather was the broken link.  

James Harvey Gordon married Elizabeth Lacey. Descendants decided to check the Lacey DNA to see if Elizabeth was married to a Lacey and had a different maiden name.  As you can see, that is not the case either.  At least they know that is the wrong path, so descendants won't waste time on that theory.

Analysis:  Kits (GG1) and 18591 have their family line has remained true back to Benjamin Franklin Gordon.  Our ancestors had many life changing experiences just like we do today.  Adoptions, divorce, unwed births, and name changes, (legal and illegal) were common among our early families as well.  In this case, since they already expected the match, the 12 marker testing is sufficient to prove the results are a good representative of Benjamin's line of descent.  

Kit #19380 looks like he has a possibility of a match to this family.  Since the only difference is on a red allelle, known for rapidly changing, comparison with their own research may provide some clues to a connection.  Kit #19380 has traced her Gordons back to same area as the 2 family groups above (Samuel and Robert Gordon).  She has also tracked her family through OK, MO and TX.  One would assume from their proximity that they were looking at 1 family, but in fact, DNA testing reveals that there are 3 distinct Gordon families.

Given that kits 8300, 19380 and 6258 all share a mutation on marker no. 6 (red) which may be indicative that they are different sub-branch of this Gordon branch. These three testers will certainly benefit from an upgrade to at least the 25-marker test to prove conclusively.

Kit 8300 also has a good possibility for connection with this group.  Our testers may be able to confirm a connection using their genealogy records, or they may need to upgradeto 25 or 37 marker to give a better idea of the time frame for their common ancestor.

Interesting to note that kits 13921, 8058 and 61514 also share mutations on several of the same markers, indicating a possible sub-branch of this Gordon branch. For further analysis on kits 13921, 8058 and 61514, see below:

Analysis: These two kits share a very recent common Gordon ancestor. They may be distant cousins of the Seton -Gordons.
