Following are the DNA results for my Pepper, Chandler and Zander lines.
Pepper
By DNA testing, the descent from John Pepper, born circa 1770, has been confirmed for three of his sons' lines, Sunsberry, Parker and John J. The haplogroup has been determined to be R1b1.
The haplogroup R1b first appeared around 30,000 years ago. They were the Cro-Magnon, who created the famous cave paintings in France. Migration began in Africa, on through the Middle East to central Asia and from there into Europe and the Iberian peninsula. Here they waited out the ice age, before expanding north 10,000-20,000 years ago along the Atlantic coast and into the British Isles. They are the most common haplogroup in Europe.

Chandler
Descent from John Chandler, born 1600 in England, has been confirmed. He immigrated to Jamestown, Virginia on 10 June 1610 on board the Hercules. The haplogroup has been determined to be I2b1.
Haplogroup I first appeared 20,000 years ago. This group migrated from the Middle East northwest into the Balkans to Mediterrean Europe, where they stayed during the Ice Age. They may have been the Gravettian culture. Haplogroup I2b1 likely began in northern France, from where it migrated to Scandinavia.

Zander
The haplogroup for our Zander line has been determined to be R1a1.
This marker arose between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago in what is now Ukraine or southern Russia. Descendants are spread from India through central and western Asia, to the Slavic area. It is believed they may be responsible for the spread of Indo-European languages. This group descended from the Kurgan culture, who domesticated the horse circa 3000 B.C.E.

mtDNA Tests
mtDNA results for the maternal ancestors of Annie Jane Chandler
HVR1: 292T,519C
Haplogroup N*
Mitochondrial haplogroup N* dates to 65,000 years ago. Members of this group migrated from Africa to the eastern Mediterranean region and western Asia. Descendants of these people eventually settled in the rest of Europe. Today persons with the N haplogroup are prevalent in Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean, and in parts of Central Asia and India.
mtDNA results for the maternal ancestors of Katharina Elisabeth Forster
HVR1: 16223T, 16292T, 16362C, 16519C
Haplogroup W
Mitochondrial haplogroup W dates to 25,000 years ago. This group migrated north across the Caucasus and into Europe and may have been associated with the Aurignacian culture. Today persons with this haplogroup are found mainly in west Eurasia.
