Analysis:
Results for the three above kits are are consistent with Dr. JM Bulloch's House
of Gordon and generally-accepted Gordon history, which states that the Sir William Gordon line branched from the ancestors of the Jock & Tam Gordon lines over 700 years ago.
Sir William
Gordon, Laird of Strathbogie (born ca 1300) - was
the progenitor of the ancient ancient and illustrious southern Gordon Houses of Lochinvar
and Kenmure. Documentation supports that above kits 89515 and 93333 are descendants of the House of Kenmure. Given the same mutations at Loci 21 and 30, it may be inferred that kit 80269 is a very close cousin to 89515 and share a common Gordon ancestor probably just prior to emmigrating overseas. Mutations at Loci 21 and 30 for kits 89515 and 80269 also suggest a separate line descending from Sir William Gordon than that of kit 93333, and it is likely that their common ancestor with 93333 would be found in Scotland as well and prior to 1784.
It would be interesting to have one of these 3 testers upgrade to the 67-marker test for comparison with those of the Jock & Tam Gordons. It would give a sense of how quickly markers are mutating at the higher resolution test level..

In accordance with Dr. JM Bulloch's House
of Gordon, the Kenmure Gordons and Jock and
Tam Gordons do share the same general DNA sequence, characterized by a branching off about 700 years ago through William
Gordon, Laird of Strathbogie (born ca 1300) - who was
the progenitor of the ancient ancient and illustrious southern Gordon Houses of Lochinvar
and Kenmure. Above Kit 93333 is a documented descendant of this line.
Analysis:
From the following table, despite a two-step difference on two-markers (1-red, 1-black), there is an 89.64% probability that kits 11284 and N12530 do share a common Gordon ancestor within 12-generations. 34% percent is the minimum probability level for significance; therefore, we can say that there is a significant probability of a common ancestor after about 5-generations.
| In comparing 37 markers, the probability that kits 11284 and N12530 shared a common ancestor within the last... |
4 generations is
29.59%
|

|

|

Given a 4-step difference on 4-markers (2-black, 2-red), we can still see relatively recent common ancestor between kits 11284 and 34523, below; however, the above two kits have a higher probability of sharing a common ancestor more recently than those below.

"old Alex" Gordon came to America in 1652. Merle Gordon of Maine recently hosted a Gordon family reunion in Exeter, New Hampshire on July 14th. Click here for picture.
Analysis: Old Alex researchers have made a concerted
effort to research and document the heroic and colorful
contributions his family has made as the oldest documented
Gordon to arrive in the U.S. in our project, so far.
His descendants seem to be concentrated mainly in the
Maine, NH and northern areas. They organize many
family activities, cemetery tours and lively discussions
among the Alexander Gordon researchers. Kit

Analysis: Both the Jock and Tam Gordons and
Sir William Gordon maintain a documeted history back to clan progenitor Adam
de Gordoun. It is therefore implied that Sir William Gordon
descendants and the "Jock and Tam" Gordons above
would have the same DNA to match a father-son lineage and DNA proves that they do.
However, for these three Gordon testers, the mystery is that, as with the above testers, these do not have the same DNA sequence as the Jock and Tam Gordons. It is likely that those testers that do not closely match the Jock & Tam Gordons are descended from Sir William Gordon through marriage to a female Gordon and assumed her Gordon surname.
Kit
No. 8091 has reported possible links to Gordons of both
Aberdeen and Galloway. It would be beneficial to see 8091 upgrade to 37-markers for comparison with the top two kits.
Kit
No. 12577 has documented back to 1697, with reported family
links to the Gordons of Kenmore, whom are direct descendants
of Sir William Gordon. For more information, see the family details and spectacular webpage dedicated to the Gordons of Kenmure as follows:
http://www.HouseOfGordon.com
At first glance, it would appear that Kit 12577 does not match the other two testers; however, despite the 7-step difference on 7-markers (4-red, 3-black) we can determine from the chart below that there is a 58.76% probability of a common ancestor within the last 24 generations, or roughly 600 years, suggesting yet another very old branch of the Gordons. Again, we consider 34% to be the minimum cut off for significant proability of a common ancestor with in a specified generational time frame. Hence, it appears that the following two kits likely have a shared common ancestor within the at least the last 18 or 19 generations.
| In comparing 37 markers, the probability that kits 12577 and 42605 shared a common ancestor within the last... |
