The above numbers are based exclusively on the comparison of their Y-DNA results, which show 1 - 2 mismatches.
However, these results can be refined if their paper trail indicates that no common ancestor between Wright #23954 and the other participants could have lived in a certain number of past generations.
Since each marker has a different mutation rate, identical Genetic Distances will not necessarily yield the same probabilities. In other words, even though Wright #23954 has a Genetic Distance of 1 from Wright #xxxxx, someone else with the same Genetic Distance may have different probabilities, because the distance of 1 was prompted by mutations in different markers, with different mutation rates.
