- Probability is 50% that the TMRCA is no longer than indicated 

Calculations

Prior to 2014, the Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor [TMRCA] in generations was calculated using FTDNA standards which are now antiquated.

The second mutation rate selection uses the FTDNA derived mutation rates. This includes a rate of 0.00399 for the first 12 markers, 0.00481 for markers 13 through 25, and 0.00748 for the markers 26 through 37.

    Y-Utility: Y-DNA Comparison Utility, Ysearch Mode <http://www.mymcgee.com/tools/yutility.html> 12/2014.

Using the Y-DNA Utility, FTDNA Mode and the specific mutation rates per marker, we have significantly different results.

Calculating distance to MRCA by Generations

A relationship and distance in generations can be calculated by comparing the number of mutations and applying the average mutation rate for a haplotype. I use the following:

Time = Difference / average mutation rate
T = [1/37] / .0045
T =  .027  / .0045
T =  6 generations

Hopefully, there will come a non-algorithm type, simple mathematical formula which allows us to input the mutation rate for individual markers to solve for TMRCA.

Analysis

In the last decade, great strides have been made identifying new SNPs down the human genome. And, anthropologists have been able to match these mutations to specific places on the timeline of human history. With this information, we can affix our forefathers to specific times and places in the migration of modern man.

Back when, anthropologists investigated whether R1b1a1a2 [M269], who emerged during the Neolithic Period, was connected to Cro-Magnon Man and the cave paintings of the refugium in southern France. And if connected, Subsequently, M269 could have been the group who followed the retreating ice shield north across the land bridge to Britain and Ireland. With new information gained more recently, those possibilities have been put to rest. The following is updated as of 7/2015:

At the end of the last Ice Age, modern man migrated up the river valleys into central Europe, settling both east and west of the Rhine River in what is now southern Germany and France. From this central location, their descendants emigrated out to the far reaches of Europe. DF27, our forefathers, first settled in what is now northwest Spain c. 2,250 BCE where they developed new technologies and established themselves as a trading nation on the Atlantic coast. And in about 1,000 BCE, our forefathers emigrated first to Ireland and later to Scotland and Wales.

Why was our family in Wales? Was it pressure from the invading Romans or the subsequent pressure from the invading Saxons? And, did our people ex-migrate out of Wales into southern England to the vicinity of Bristol or Wiltshire, England, before coming to America? We do not know.

The modern history of our family begins about the time when British colonists--we the Bretons, not the Anglo-Saxon English--braved the Atlantic Ocean to found Jamestown and the Colony of Virginia. In about 1650 or 12 generations ago in Virginia, our Lewis family split when the family of James Lewis of Louisa Co VA and the family of James Lewis of Lincoln Co MO split onto two new branches.

In about 1750 or 8 generations ago in Virginia, the family split again onto three new branches. First the family of Edmund of Person Co NC, then the family of John of Caroline Co VA, and then the families of Joseph Lewis of Caroline Co VA and William Young of Page Co VA split onto individual branches. Note, Joseph Lewis and William Young are the same branch of the family. The question is, "What's their story?"

This leaves the Walden Lewis family of Mississippi and the John Lewis family of Franklin Co KY and now the Rueben Kennedy family of Culpeper Co VA continuing on the original line. Continuing research indicates that the Rueben Kennedy family is also associated with the previously mentioned Joseph Lewis and William Young branch. Again, the question is, "What's their story?" And, the Walden Lewis family has circumstantial evidence which links them to the Lewises of Spotsylvania Co VA.

Note: There are additional tests which could be added. However, this chart illustrates the branches of our Lewis family.
