There are 3 choices for Y-chromosome tests:
  1. 12 markers for $101 (including $2 handling; $4 outside USA).
  2. 37 markers for $121 (including $2 for handling; $4 outside USA).
  3. 67 markers for $250 (including $2 for handling; $4 outside USA).
    12 are usually enough to separate different branches of a Roper family.
    The higher markers help to distinguish different branches of a family.

Information about the Y-chromosome

Interesting fact: In the 1990 census the frequency of ocurrence of the Little surname was 0.046% with rank 226; of the Klein surname was 0.026% with rank 436; of the Cline surname was 0.020 with rank 595; and of the Kline surname was 0.015 with rank 770.

Introduction

There are at least three theories about the parents of Capt. Daniel Little:

There is a way to settle at least parts, and maybe all, of the question:

  1. Test the Y-chromosomes for two or more male-line Littles that are certain descendants of Capt. Daniel Little.
  2. Test the Y-Chromosomes for two or more male-line Kleins that are certain descendants of Johann Heinrich Klein.
  3. Test the Y-Chromosomes for two or more male-line Clines that are certain descendants of Sebastian Cline.

If all of these tests yield the almost the same Y-chromosome markers, then all three lines came from a common ancestor. If the Capt. Daniel Little male-line tests are quite different from the other two, then we need to look for another set of parents for him; perhaps Irish parents.

Perhaps a more important result of testing many male-line Littles/Kleins/Cline/Klines would be that sets of Y-chromosome markers would be determined for different families and rare random mutations for branches of those families would provide identity markers for the branches. To see how this has worked out for my Roper family, see http://www.roperld.com/roperconnect.htm.

Elementary genetics teaches that a human egg becomes a female embryo when a sperm gives it an X-chromosome and a male embryo when the sperm gives it a Y-chromosome. Thus, the Y-chromosome is passed down generations only through the male line. The only change from one generation to the next is by mutations, which are rare. So one can determine male paternal lineage by comparing the DNA coding of Y-chromosomes.

There are "junk" regions on the Y-chromosome that contain repeated base-pair sets (microsatellites or Short Tandem Repeats or STR). Over time the number of repeats changes due to mutations. The number of repeats at these locations, called “markers” can be used to distinguish different male-line families. Thus, the detailed structure in terms of base-pair coding is not required; only information about certain aspects of a small part of the Y-chromosome is needed. This does not identify the individual, but only the family to which the individual belongs; determining the 12 or 25 markers (see below) is much less information than that obtained by totally sequencing the Y-chromosome. There are several labs that do such work, at a cost of about $100 per person.

The last 5 are taken from http://www.smgf.com/ysearch_input.jsp.
There are 25 markers given here for them, but they are a different set than the FTDNA set of 25 markers. The set does not contain the 4 DYS464 markers and it contains the first four of the last 12 FTDNA markers.
Note that KPC & WGK are in the same family.
Different major families have coded background colors. The ones that are not colored are independent families with only one member measured so far.
One should be cautious about putting individuals with only 12 markers measured in a family; it is possible that the last 13 markers could be greatly different.
Note that TNL has 26 markers (DYS464e at the end), instead of the usual 25. According to FTDNA: "Some people have an extra duplication in 464. It's about 2% in European populations, and perhaps 10% in African populations, so we only show it when it occurs."

25 Markers

Some of the Little/Klein/Cline/Kline participants have ordered the extra 13-markers test as shown in the results above

Another view of the Little markers.

We see that DCL & LLL differ by only one relative mutation (rm) for the 25 markers; also JDL & LLL differ by only one rm, but DCL & JDL differ by two rm. Also, LLL and JPL have the same 25 markers and their nearest common ancestor is Capt.Daniel Little. Thus, it appears that the 25 markers for Capt. Daniel Little are:

Location
(prefix DYS):		 393 390 19
(394)		 391 385a 385b 426 388 439 389-1 392 389-2
Value: 13 25 14 12 11 14 12 12 12 13 13 29
Location:
(prefix DYS)		 458 459a 459b 455 454 447 437 448 449 464a 464b 464c 464d
Value: 18 9 9 11 11 25 15 20 29 15 16 17 17

LLL and JDL are known from genealogy to be 3rd cousins and DCL is their 5th cousin 1 generation removed.

There are no other surnames that have 1 or 2 relative mutations with this Little family. Therefore, I conclude that this occurrence of the Little surname is relatively old.

We need to measure some more descendants of Capt. Daniel Little to nail down these values.

Any Little/Klein/Cline/Kline male who wants to find out if he is related to Capt. Daniel Little can have his 12 or 25 Y-chromosome markers measured to see if they are the same or differ by only 1 or 2 relative mutations from this set.

We see that JMAL ,LWL & DAL have exactly the same 25 markers. Thus, a first approximation for the 25 markers for this family are:

Location
(prefix DYS):		 393 390 19
(394)		 391 385a 385b 426 388 439 389-1 392 389-2
Value: 13 24 10 11 11 14 12 12 12 13 13 29
Location:
(prefix DYS)		 458 459a 459b 455 454 447 437 448 449 464a 464b 464c 464d
Value: 17 9 9 11 11 25 15 19 30 15 16 16 17

There are no other surnames that have 1 or 2 relative mutations with this Little family. Therefore, I conclude that this occurrence of the Little surname is relatively old.

We need to measure some more members of this family to nail down these numbers.

The 25 markers for CHL, DWL & RDL are identical, so the 25 markers for this family are:

Location
(prefix DYS):		 393 390 19
(394)		 391 385a 385b 426 388 439 389-1 392 389-2
Value: 13 23 13 10 16 17 11 12 12 13 13 30
Location:
(prefix DYS)		 458 459a 459b 455 454 447 437 448 449 464a 464b 464c 464d
Value: 17 9 9 11 11 26 14 20 32 13 15 15 15

There are no other surnames that have 1 or 2 relative mutations with this Little family. Therefore, I conclude that this occurrence of the Little surname is relatively old.

A way to compare each participant with all other participants is to record the number of mutations by which they differ (relative mutations or genetic distance) for 25 markers:

Neither of the Clines, GLC & JCC, are closely related to the Littles or to each other.

It is possible to extract 25 makers for 5 Klein/Cline/Klines from http://www.smgf.com/ysearch_input.jsp, but they are a different set than the FTDNA set of 25 markers. The set does not contain the 4 DYS464 markers and it contains the first four of the last 12 FTDNA markers. The relative mutations for this set of 25 markers is:

Time-Ordered Phylograms

Another way to visualize the relationships among the testees is by time-ordered (rooted tree) phylograms calculated from relative-mutations matrices. To create time-ordered phylograms, I use the PHYLIP/Neighbor software using the relative-mutations matrix to generate a tree file (*.tre) to be plotted by the TreeView software. (For a description of how I do it, see PHYLIPTreeViewUse.htm.)

Here is a phylogram for the Little/Klein/Cline/Klines who have had 25 markers measured:
This is not a family tree in the usual sense. Only the ones with very short horizontal lines on the right are closely related.

REL is the same as DCL & AWL.
The two Clines, JCC and GLC, are not closely related.
Since PCK is a Kline and AWL is known to descend from a Klein, the lower 6 are probably from an old German Klein family.
Here is a phylogram for the Little/Klein/Cline/Klines who have had SMGF 25 markers measured:

Note the (KPC, WGK) family; it may be part of a larger Klein family involving ALK & JK.
Here is a phylogram for the Little/Klein/Cline/Klines who have had 37 markers measured:

It appears that CEL carries the most ancient markers for his LKY1 family, which includes REL, AWL, LLL, JDL, DCL, RKL, and JPL.
Note the scale in the lower left corner for 1 mutation back to the most recent common ancestor. Vertical distances indicate connections.
From the SNP Y-chromosome notation in http://ycc.biosci.arizona.edu/nomenclature_system/fig1.html for Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP), I estimate the nine SNP mutations back to the most recent common ancestor in Africa to be about 6000 years per SNP mutation, using 50,000 years as the time Homo sapiens sapiens left Africa. There are seven mutations back to the F haplogroup's most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for the Roper/Raper testees, or about 39,000 years. Since there are 7 SNP mutations and 14 STR mutations back to the F haplogroup MCRA, at first thought it would appear that the STR mutations per chromosome over long times happen about twice as fast as the SNP mutations. Thus, for long times into the past, each STR mutation is about 2800 years. The time back to the R1b MRCA is about 7 STR mutations times 2800, or 19,600 years, in the last glacial maximum. (Bryan Sykes, on p. 143 in his book, Adam's Curse, a Future Without Men, states that one should not use raw STR mutation rates to try to relate males who are in different SNP haplogroups. This is because, for males so distantly related, some of the markers could have mutated both positive and negative.)

Classifying Little/Klein/Cline/Kline Families According to Y-Chromosome Marker Sets

I adopt a classification scheme for the different Little/Klein/Cline/Kline families as determined by the Y-chromosome tests for at least two members of a family. In order of time at which the Y markers were determined, the classification is:

Family Class Abbreviation Participants Comments
Little/KleinY1 LKY1 DCL, LLL, JDL, JPL, AWL, RKL, REL,WBL, BDL, CEL Capt. Daniel Little family
AWL descends from a Klein in Littlestown PA.
Haplogroup R1b1b2
Little/KleinY2 LKY2 JHL, JAL, DCL2, CAL, CGL JHL & JAL descend from a Klein;
Haplgroup J2e1
ClineY1 CY1 GLC, WHC, LDC, RHC, WHC2 WHC's 3rd great-grandfather Joseph and GLC's 2nd great-grandfather Jesse Sr. were siblings. They were both sons of John Cline.
Haplogroup I
KleinY1 KY1 WHK, DRK Haplogroup R1b1b2
KleinY2 KY2 WAK, EJK Haplogroup R1a
Klein/KlineY1 KKY1 RKK, JWK Haplogroup R1b1b2
Kline/ClineY1 KCY1 JCC, RC, PEK, GBC, JLC, GHC Haplogroup G
Klein/Cline/KlineY2 KCY2 KPC, WGK
KPC descends from a Klein. WGK descends from a Kline.
Kline/ClineY3 KCY3 BDC, CK, CC, JHC Haplogroup R1b1b2
ClineY2 CY2 LWC, HDC
ClineY3 CY3 JLC2, DC Haplogroup I

Here is a phylogenetic tree for 37 markers for the LKY1 family:

Only families for which at least two members have had 25 markers measured are classified.
