The identification of the donor is at this point confidential. These results are identified by the name, date and place of the earliest proven ancestor along with a number designating the testor. For instance, the designation "James Carruth Land, GA, 1812 #1" is the first Land Surname DNA participant who traces his ancestry back to the cited James Carruth Land.
A Simple explanation of the chart below: The test you took was either a 12, 25, or 37 marker test. Your DNA report will list the names of the markers that were tested in the top row, ie. 390, 393, 19..etc. Below the names of the markers are your test results, ie. 13, 24, 14..etc.
If the comparison of the results of your test match very closely than relationship may be assumed. The closer the match the more definite is the relationship. When 2 people match it can be said that they are related to a "Most Recent Common Ancestor" (MRCA). The test cannot tell you who that ancestor is nor when that ancestor lived.
However some additional information can be computed using probability theory. For instance, with a 25 for 25 match it is said that there is a 61% probablity that your MRCA is within 5 generations which is within 100-125 years. Alternatively, there is an 83% probablity that your MRCA is within 10 generations, which is 200-250 years.
The first column in the top row is "Haplotype". This is the designation you are given based on the complete set of your results on whatever markers were tested. The most common haplotype in Europe is called the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (AMH), because it is frequently found in countries near the Atlantic Ocean.
The haplotype R1B is described in Trace Your Roots With DNA by Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak and Ann Turner, Rodale, 2004. "Haplogroup R1B is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans recolonized after the last glacial maximum 10 thousand to 12 thousand years ago." This lineage also contains the Atantic Modal Haplotype.
