Kit 5324-A.Broughton is a proven descendant of Willoughby Broughton,b.ca 1725,in VA. d. 1804 Anderson Co. SC.
Kit 5444-J. Broughton is a proven descendant of Edward Broughton of Sumter, SC. mid-late 1700s.
Kit 5296-D.Broughton is a descendant of Joshua Broughton, Delaware, ca 1700s.

The results from these three do not match, indicating three separate Broughton lines.
 
 

We need more participants!   Descendants of the immigrants to the U.S and men that live in England, New Zealand, Australia and other parts of the globe.  This is a fascinating study and we are on the cutting edge of this type of research tool.
 

The sampling technique involves the painless use of a small brush inside the cheek to collect a few cells.  The kit is used at home, then mailed back to FTDNA.

If you have hit a "stonewall" in your genealogical research DNA analysis could be a useful tool to link with others and give new direction to your search.

Our study may answer these questions:

How many different common male ancestors are associated with Broughton or other variant spelling.

How  your ancestors are related to other families with the name.

How are the different family lines related?

Are all those from a particular country related, or are different families using the name.

Can a connection between the various lines be made to the immigrants to the US and to researchers in England, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

An analysis of the mutations in the Y-chromosome can also be used to estimate the "Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA)" in terms of number of generations since the separation occurred.
