Below are five example family lines.  One is the Walter Kep/John L. Keep line beginning in 1230 in England.  The others are of the John Keep of Longmeadow descendants--Marcus Floyd Keep, Charles Russell Keep, Donald Bruce Keep, and Paul Eugene Keep.
 
The DNA results above show that the ancestor of John Keep of Longmeadow is in the line of Walter Kep/John Lister Keep of England.

DNA testing of this Project has discovered that the Longmeadow John Keep's ancestor lies in the Walter Kep - John L. Keep family line on the far right ------>

column, earlier or later than Walter Kep, and therefore all descendants of John Keep of LM have Walter as their furthest back known English link.  At this point, the names in the line of John Keep of Longmeadow leading to the family to the right are not known.  Further testing and research are needed to discover these names.
