Summary of Results

There are several conclusions that can be made from the DNA testing data and the supporting pedigrees:

1. There are four groups or clusters of individuals who match with two or more members in each group.

  1. the KFM group (Michael Kauffman, __________ ) - 12 match
  2. the KF/A group (Isaac Kauffman 1737, Berks County, PA; Andrew Kauffman 1717, Lancaster County, PA.) - 12 match
  3. the JNC group (John Nicolas Coffman, 1740, Virginia) - 4 match
  4. the fourth group - 2 match

2. The DNA profiles for the first three clusters are:

From Charts 1, 5 and 6 - 25-Marker profile - 3 clusters

3. There are a number of individuals who have been tested who do NOT yet match others - 18 no-match

4. There is a genetic connection between KFA-Andrew (Mennonite), KF-Isaac (Amish) and Solomon (Reformed)

5. Assumptions leading to some of the AAMG question marks prove to be errors. (KF11-KFC Jacob)

6. Assumptions leading to some of the AAMG question marks prove to be correct.
