Note: At this time, the 67 marker values for tests 148290, 150831 & 167804 appear to represent the ancestral haplotype for the Anders BENGTSSON lineage. Thus, any deviations from these marker values would appear to represent mutations which have occurred since the common ancestry of Anders BENGTSSON.

Note: Test results for 49830 & 827322 show a 37/37 match with a participant in the FTDNA database bearing the WALKER surname. This WALKER line has ties to Rutherford Co. NC in the late 18th century. A search is ongoing to find the genetic connection between these two lines.
Family Finder and Ancestry DNA results for 49830 & others who descend from Grimes B. BANKSTON show matches to BANKSTONS not in the direct line of descent from Grimes. This indicates the NPR in the male BANKSTON line was likely due to the union of a male WALKER and a female BANKSTON, most likely in the Rutherford Co., NC area .
