The Cunningham Discussion page
As of December 24, 2011 we have 77 members. The Cunningham project has identified 8 lineage groups. The project identifies a lineage when DNA tests on two or more men show a high probability that they have a common ancestor since the use of surnames became common. It is hoped each lineage will have a volunteer coordinator, who promotes the gathering of more information about the lineage through further DNA tests and traditional genealogical research. More detail about the lineages is available on the Results and Patriarch pages.
Also you may want to look at the Cunningham message forums at ROOTSWEB and GENFORUM as I sometimes post DNA Project information in those areas.

A generation can be
viewed as about 25 - 30 years.
In comparing 37 markers, the
probability that C-57
and C-15
or
C-16
shared a common ancestor
within the last...
4 generations is 26.85%
8 generations is 65.86%
12 generations is 87.35%
16 generations is 95.88%
20 generations is 98.76%
24 generations is 99.65%
The above numbers are based
exclusively on the comparison of their Y-DNA results, which show 2 mismatches or
a genetic distnce of 2.
In comparing 37 markers, the

4 generations is 56.46%
8 generations is 87.4%
12 generations is 96.84%
16 generations is 99.26%
20 generations is 99.83%
24 generations is 99.96%
The above numbers are based
exclusively on the comparison of their Y-DNA results, which show 1 mismatch or a
genetic distance of 1.
The mismatches for all
persons in the group occured at
CDYa
and CDYb
which are both red DYS
markers and have faster mutation rates. The fact that C-57
and C-56
shared a common marker at
CDYa
of 36 is significant I
believe. C-15
and
C-16
had a value of 35 at CDYa
which is probably a trait for
that family.
Based on the DNA evidence and
presented family documentation, you all definitly share a common ancestor with
Adam Cunningham and I believe you can ignore the mismatches as family mutations.
Genetic Distance 12 markers, 25 markers, 37 markers and 67 markers
