Robert Tucker, of Milton - Robert Tucker can't have 2 different Y DNA. Someone has the wrong male path.

Have you looked at the DNA tree to see where the profiles diverge?

I’ll try to show the steps to analyzing where Y DNA propagates from so we can correct pedigree errors.

John Henry Cunningham

Robert Tucker, of Milton is John Henry Cunningham's 8th great grandfather.

There are no notes to link Ephraim Tucker as son of
Benjamin Tucker, Jr.

If there is evidence, the connection can be restored, but so far, I do not see a reason they should connected.

That removes propagation of DNA Markers: R-BY42275 to Robert Tucker and his descendants.

The tests are different so therefore, the haplgroups are different. Need to ensure the difference is not just a nomenclature/ test marker difference.

https://www.quora.com/Are-Y-Haplogroups-R-M198-and-R-M512-the-same-...

SNP’s M198, M512, M17, and about 40 others are all associated with the same haplogroup, sometimes called R-M198, sometimes R-M512, sometimes R-M17, and originally R1a1a. You can read more about R1a1a in this WikiPedia article: Haplogroup R1a - Wikipedia.

While they are equivalent in the sense they are all associated with the same haplogroup, as SNP’s they are not the same - they represent variants in different locations of the Y chromosome. Being associated with the same haplogroup just means that no tester has yet been identified with only one of these variants, and not some of the others. That is necessary in order to determine which ones came first, as their first occurrence could easily be separated by centuries.

https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/R-M198/story branched off from the ancestor R-M459. He is the ancestor of at least 2 descendant lineages known as R-M417 and R-YP1051.

https://www.genetichomeland.com/dna-marker/chromosome-Y/YP282 R-YP282 Found in haplogroup R1a under YP285 on YFull and FTDNA trees.

https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/R-BY148732/story branched off from the ancestor R-YP5084. He is the ancestor of at least 2 descendant lineages known as R-Y40995 and 1 yet unnamed lineage. There are 3 DNA tested descendants, and they specified that their earliest known origins are from England.

I’m pretty sure R-YP282 is a subclade of R1a1a from which also derives M198.

On the DNA tab for him, Hazen Tucker

Hazen Tucker
R-M198 from Y-67 (check)

Daniel Floyd Tucker
R-M198 from Y-37 (view conflict)

Which doesn’t actually make sense as a conflict, since they’re brothers.

At https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tucker-4023 Y DNA shows propagated as Y-DNA Test 700 markers, haplogroup R-BY148732 & Y-Chromosome Test 20000 markers, haplogroup R-U152

Also, Hazen & Daniel Floyd Tucker are deceased, so it is unlikely they tested. In fact, their profiles were added by John Richard Tucker So how did (older) tests get attached to them?

It doesn’t help that they change the names. :)

The DNA tree on geni is a little slow but really useful, as is the DNA ancestor compare report. I’ve been able to find and fix most tree errors that way.

And I use the surname spreadsheet projects at FamilyTree DNA.

Wikitree now has a template where their Gedmatch IDs match up with profiles. Geni is less public about it - the DNA match tab. I have found Wikitree identified Y DNA notes useful in sorting tree errors.

Y & MT DNA test results linked from FamilySearch to geni profiles propagate 10 generations, AT DNA is four only.
