Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. J. S. Montgomery Jr., FTDNA kit #237807, and his 16th cousin twice removed Peter Archdale, FTDNA kit #625403, match at a Genetic Distance of 9 on 111 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA Alexander "Master of Montgomery" b 1428 who married Elizabeth Hepburn. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 17 generations is 56.86% and within the last 18 generations is 72.23%.
Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Sven Jacob Montgomery, FTDNA kit #182897, and his 14th cousin Peter Archdale, FTDNA kit #625403, match at a Genetic Distance of 5 on 111 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA Alexander "Master of Montgomery" b 1428. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 16 generations is 82.23% and within the last 18 generations is 94.64%. FTDNA indicates their common SNP is J-Z35783 which was formed when it branched off from the ancestor J-Z35794 around 550 CE. The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 1350 CE with a 95% confidence level that he was born 1223-1489 CE.
