--- abstract: "Since the turn of the millennium, DNA testing has helped with establishing the sizes of biological descent families within surnames. Some surnames have a dominant family: their remaining populations can be ascribed either to NPEs (non paternity events)or to smaller separate-origin families. Previously, there was no direct evidence as to how large each male-line family could grow within a surname,\r\nconsidering that real-life plural-origin surnames could contain a few or many separate-origin families of various sizes. However, DNA testing is providing evidence to help indicate in particular the size of the largest male-line medieval descent family in a surname. We here perform statistical analyses of some relevant DNA results. This allows us to compare the DNA results with some predicted findings from our computer simulations.\r\n\r\n" altloc: - http://www.one-name.org/ESDE-Guild-June2014.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - plant@one-name.org - replant@ucdavis.edu creators_name: - family: Plant given: John S honourific: Dr lineage: '' - family: Plant given: Richard E honourific: Prof lineage: '' date: 2014-06-14 date_type: published datestamp: 2014-08-24 21:04:39 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/97/48 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 9748 fileinfo: /9748/1.hassmallThumbnailVersion/ESDE-Guild-June2014.pdf;/9748/1/ESDE-Guild-June2014.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: DNA surnames onomastics simulations lastmod: 2015-04-20 11:41:00 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 15 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2014-08-24 21:04:39 subjects: - bio-pop - comp-sci-stat-model succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: 'English Surnames: DNA, plural origins and emigration' type: other userid: 6961 volume: ~
