Dwight Johannes b.1700 I1a 13 22 14 10 14 16 11 14 12 12 11 29 15  8  9  8 11 22 16 20 28 12 14 14 15 10 21 19 21 14 17 10 14 13 12 12 15 22 11 17 11 31 21

As the chart above shows, only 3 members of the Finger family have been tested so far. Two of them, Fred and Tom are known descendants of Samuel Finger born c.1568 in Germany. These two persons are 10th cousins once removed, yet their DNA test results are only 2 markers different out of 43 (read more about Samuel Finger's DNA).

However, Dwight, the webmaster of the Finger Family site and a descendant of Johannes Finger, born c.1700, shows no relation to Samuel's descendants. It would be good if another descendant of Johannes could be tested, and one that is a 3rd or more cousin to establish the DNA pattern with a good degree of certainty.

Now we are interested in learning if other Finger family lines are related to either of the above. In particular, the 'Southern' Fingers, descendants of Peter Finger.


Haplogroup I1a: The group displays a very clear frequency gradient, with a peak of approximately 35 percent among the populations of southern Norway, southwestern Sweden especially on the island of Gotland, and Denmark, and rapidly decreasing frequencies toward the edges of the historically Germanic sphere of influence. - Wikipedia

Haplogroup R1b: In human genetics, Haplogroup R1b is the most frequent Y-chromosome haplogroup in Western Europe. Its frequency is highest in Western Europe, especially in Atlantic Europe (and due to European emigration, in North America, South America, and Australia). In southern England, the frequency of R1b is about 70%, and in parts of north and western England, Spain, Portugal, France, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, the frequency of R1b is greater than 90%. - Wikipedia
