The Lineage of Tribe of Lewis

Through the appearance of individual markers on the human genome, our ancestor's path out of Africa, into southwest Asia, and across to Western Europe has been proven. Having matched geographic locations to the donors to the SNP markers found and adding dates from ancient archaeological periods and the evolution of the Indo-European language, we can approximate when and where our ancestors were on the timeline of human history. With the advent of writing and thus History, we can name the 62 (15 + 22 + 14 + 11) generations of this family from pre-Roman Britain to the present. [Lewis Origins]
