[Depending on your screen settings, there may be more columns to the right. Slide the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen to see them. Because the data table was getting too wide, it has been split into three tables, one for each of the immigrants, plus one for other lines.]

Markers highlighted in yellow are "multiple markers." A difference in one or more values in a set of values for one of these multiple markers counts as only one mutation since they are inherited together.

Interpretation of Results

[Temporary note: The interpretations below are being revised, and have not been adjusted to recent additions to the data set. May 30, 2008]

Family Tree DNA provides a table for evaluating the significance of 37 marker matches. It should help in the understanding of the above results.

The first Seeley DNA Project showed that there are very different DNA patterns for the descendants of Obadiah Seeley and Nathaniel Seeley, indicating that they were not closely related as was once thought (they had been assumed to be brothers by many people). The purpose of this additional testing is to better define the patterns, and to establish a database for researchers to use to help them find their unknown ancestry. Six Seeley descendants of unknown lineage have been tested so far. Two were found to be from the Obadiah line, and three were from the Nathaniel line. One of the subjects is apparently not descended from or related to either immigrant.

Conclusions:

The subjects tested thus far fall into one of three DNA profiles: Nathaniel, Obadiah, and Henry of Fordingbridge, Hampshire, England. There are no exact matches between any of the test subjects with the 37 marker tests, but there are exact matches with the less sensitive 9 or 12 marker tests.

The "Nathaniel" and "Obadiah" 37 marker profiles found in this testing indicate that there are 12 single step differences and one two-step difference separating them. This suggests that there are a very large number of generations between them and any possible common ancestor. These results clearly that they are not related within any "genealogically significant" time frame (since surnames came into use).

Four of the six subjects with a 37-marker "Obadiah Profile" differ from the presumed "Obadiah Profile" by two single-step differences, one (40466) had two single-step differences plus a two-step difference, and two had only one single-step difference. None match it exactly. A one, two or three single-step difference in the subjects tested is well within the expected range of mutations anticipated given the number of generations between the test subjects and Obadiah, their immigrant ancestor.

Three of the subjects with a 37-marker "Nathaniel Profile" matches this profile exactly. The other three differ from the profile by one single-step difference (with a different mutation for each subject).

There are five Seeley/Seely subjects in the SMGF database. Four are fairly close relatives of each other. Two show a single difference from the standard Nathaniel profile and the other two match it exactly. The other does not match either profile. This would be due to an error in their reported lineage, as that subject claims a lineage from a line related to the others in that database.

Austin and his son John B. Seeley (born 1843 in NS) were apparently descendants of Obadiah, matching the pattern on 12 of 12 markers.

The DeForest Bowen Seeley (b. 20 Sep 1840 Wellsboro, Tioga Co, PA) descendant matches the Obadiah profile with only one single step mutation difference from the standard Obadiah profile. He is only one mutation away from test subject 22678, who has a known lineage of 1-Obadiah, 2-Jonas, 3-Ebenezer, 4-Jonas. This suggests (but does not prove) that he may be related to that line.

William A. Seeley (1778-1858) was also apparently an Obadiah descendant. Two single-step mutations plus one two-step mutation are within the range of the expected number of mutations in that number of generations since Obadiah's generation.

Augustus Seeley and William Seeley (b. 1780 in CT) were also apparently Obadiah descendants, with two mutations in the 37-marker test. They are closer matches to each other than the other Obadiah descendants, which may indicate they share a closer relationship.

Ezra D. Seeley, John B. Seeley (born 1835 in NY), Samuel Seelye, and John Seeley (1751-1825 in NJ) are all apparently Nathaniel descendants, each with one mutation in the 37-marker test.

23933, a descendant of Henry Seeley/Silley of Fordingbridge and Rochdale, England, does not share a recent common paternal ancestor with either Obadiah or Nathaniel.

Isaac Joseph Seely has been reported as a descendant of Obadiah. The DNA profile for the person tested from that line does not match either the Obadiah or Nathaniel DNA profile. This can be due to various factors, however, a "paternity error" such as adoption, or illegitimate birth is the most likely cause.

For those individuals whose lineage back to the immigrant is not known, there is another possibility to consider when evaluating your DNA scores. There is a small but real possibility that you could be descended from another Seeley who was related to either the Robert-Nathaniel line or the Obadiah line without actually being a descendant of one of these immigrants. Your immigrant could have been a cousin on one of those lines. This especially true if your Seeley immigrant came to North America after Robert and Obadiah arrived here from England.

For additional information on the Seeley DNA Lineage Project, contact the project manager, Ken McCrea.

We are seeking additional participants for the project - both those with known lineages who would like to confirm their "paper trail" genealogical research, and those still seeking to identify their Seeley/Seely/Seelye/Sealy/etc. ancestry. The identity of participants will not be revealed publicly, however email can be forwarded to them.

We are also very interested in having participants who are not descended from the Robert-Nathaniel or Obadiah lines. Any Seeley-surnamed (or any other spelling) males on any other Seeley line are strongly encouraged to participate. This could possibly show a genetic link to one of the other lines. It would also provide data for those people with unconnected lineages to use for comparison to their own scores. [The Seeley line that settled at the Isle of Shoals in Maine is of particular interest to the project manager, Ken McCrea. If you descend from this line, please contact him.]

If you would like to contact the participants in the project for the purpose of exchanging genealogical information with them, the project manager can forward email to them [except for the SMGF participants who are unknown - if you are one of the SMGF participants, please contact the project manager].

Genealogical data on Unconnected Seeley lineages

These pages contain information on unconnected Seeley lines either involved in this project, or submitted by others interested in participating in the project. If you are related to these Seeleys or have information on any of these lines, please contact Ken McCrea to be put in contact with the person submitting the data.

John Seeley/Seely (1751-1825) of Bergen and Monmouth Counties, New Jersey
