need urgent help! dna tests - possible mixup?
I have a problem that is starting to loom large with my research and the DNA test results. I am so hoping someone can help me! I am desperate!
I am the niece of Burle Bryant-Family tree kit number 106830, and John T. Weeks--kit number 108352, and I am the contact person for both kits. These were sent off within about 2 weeks of one another. The problem I am having is that My Bryant/Bryans match no one in their surname group, and my Weeks in not even in the same haplogroup as the majority of Weekses in the surname project. However, I began to notice that I was getting close matches for my Weeks uncle with the VERY Bryants I should be matching (see below), and fairly close matches as well between my Bryant uncle and the very Weeks families I should be matching--(see below).
This James Elbert Bryant (below) should be the 1st or second cousin of my ancestor, William Bryant, and is married to my great grandmother's aunt.
In addition, The Weeks family matches with Burle Bryant are more distant, but we had already suspected we might come from two different lines that had a common ancestor by records as far back as 800 to 1000 years ago. .
I did contact FTDNA about this when I first started noticing this, but the consultant didn't seem to think I should be concerned. I also mailed a FT person I saw on another forun. He asked me if the test kits had been sent directly to FTDNA, but after I answered, he never has gotten back with me.
John T. Weeks is the only E1b1b1 in the Weeks surname project, and now that I see John is matching so closely with the Bryants we thought we should match, Ican't shake the feeling that these test results have been mixed up somehow. This has ground my research on both families to a complete halt as I can't feel good about any direction I go in at this point.
Anyone who is familiar with the DNA process and format, please have a look at these results below as compared with John T. Weeks and tell me what you think.
Do anyone have any idea of what I should do?
I have also emailed both project directors, but have gotten no response.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Sincerely,
Rhonda (Weeks-Bryant) Parker
