A DNA Study on the origins of the various Nix families worldwide
The first table shows each DNA Project members earliest known ancestor's name and the descendent's DNA results. Clickable links are also built into the table that lead to additional information such as lists of the ancestors descendents, old family photo galleries, and information on the ancestral ethnic and geographic origins for each group. Beneath the first table is a second table that shows the direct Nix ancestral lines of each project participant. The ancestral charts should be read from left to right for each family. To protect the privacy of living persons, the tree charts begin with people born before 1910. Each participant's family tree is divided into 25 year time blocks to make side by side generational comparisons easier.

Both these charts are color coordinated for easier viewing. Project members that DNA testing confirms are related to each other are shown in the exact same shade of color. Those participants that share a similar ancient origin (are from the same haplogroup), but who are not closely related (have different haplotypes), are shown in differing shades of the same general hue of color (example: shades of blue for haplogroup R and shades of green for Haplogroup I). This same color coding format is used throughout the website. When a particular family line has some DYS value mutations that differentiate it from the rest of the matching group it belongs to, those DYS values are shown in gray.

Predicted Haplogroup subcategories are also included in the results chart. Those haplogroups and haplogroup subcategories listed in underlined text have been confirmed by SNP testing, and the others have been predicted based on the STR results. The layperson can think of haplogroups as being similar to ancient ethnic or tribal affiliations. The "origins" link in chart one contains more information on each haplogroup that our members belong to.

Ancestral Nix Line for each DNA Project Participant showing each generation from 1910 and earlier. The ancestor chart is divided into 25 year time periods to show the generations over time.
This chart is color coded like the results table. Families that DNA shows are related appear in the exact same shade of background color.
Families that are not closely related, but who still share the same Haplogroup are shown in different shades of the same color
