Family record

Connections

People and family lines connected through our DNA research.

A shared paternal story

Our FamilyTreeDNA Y-DNA results connect our paternal line, R-FT194071, with people and family lines on the wider DNA family tree. These include Charles Darwin, Francis Crick, and Copernicus.

Y-DNA follows the father-to-son line. A connection means we share a paternal ancestor, sometimes thousands of years ago; it does not necessarily mean a close family relationship.

Choose a name to explore the story and evidence behind each connection. Some articles also explore historical family and surname connections.
