FamilyTreeDNA test results:

In comparing 12 markers, the probability that Samuel E. Procuniar and David C. Procuniar shared a common ancestor within the last...

4 generations is a 0.00%

8 generations is a 0.00%

12 generations is a 0.00%

16 generations is a 0.00%

20 generations is a 0.00%

24 generations is a 0.00%

The above numbers are based exclusively on the comparison of their Y-DNA results, which show 8 mismatches.

However, these results can be refined if their paper trail indicates that no common ancestor between Samuel Procuniar and David C. Procuniar could have lived in a certain number of past generations.

Samuel Procuniar and David C. Procuniar did not share a common ancestor in the last generation(s). (Because the important factor in calculating the time to the Most Recent Common Ancestor is the number of generations between which mutations could take place, the number of years per generation is irrelevant in FTDNATiP™ calculations.).

Over the past few decades Samuel E. Procuniar has hinted (sometimes jokingly and sometimes very serious) that his older brother John Thomas Procuniar was not fathered by his father John Henry Procuniar. Samuel does not question the fact they he and his five siblings were from the same mother. Now that Samuel & I had the DNA testing done Samuel got his answer, at least scientifically that he and his older brother John Thomas Procuniar are not from the same father. It's possible that John Thomas Procuniar and his other four siblings were all fathered by John Henry Procuniar and that only Samuel E. Procuniar (of the six siblings) was fathered by a different father?

In layman terms my uncle Samuel Procuniar (though legally my father’s brother) and I are not paternal ... blood related … meaning that Samuel’s father is not the same father as his brother John Thomas Procuniar (my father). There is no question that Samuel & I are related maternally through his mother and my grandmother Oney (King) Procuniar. John Henry Procuniar & Oney King were married for five years before her first child, John Thomas Procuniar was born.

One way to look at the test results is we can summarize that Samuel E. Procuniar’s mother (Oney King Procuniar) had an affair and Samuel is only a half brother to his five siblings and needs to do a lot of work to find out who his natural (birth) father is … or vice versa! dcp
