Our first sample was from a MANER who is believed to be descended from John MANER of Bertie Co, NC and the second is from Alfred MANER of Pendleton Co, SC. We expected them to match, and they do not.
Not only do they not match, they do not belong to the same haplogroup (large branches of the human tree). This means they have no common ancestor for thousands of years!
The Alfred Maner of Pendleton, SC is an "I" haplogroup, which generally suggests Anglo-Saxon/Viking origins while the William & Jane Asneth MANER of SC is R1b, the most common European haplogroup, which indicates an ancient ancestry (end of last Ice Age) of "Ibero-Celtic" origin.
The first step will be to review the paperwork to rule out "non-paternity" events -- formal or informal adoptions, a wife entering the marriage pregnant or with a small child from an earlier marriage who simply adopted the new husband's name.
