Lineages and Results of Y-chromosome DNA Testing for Surname RASEY
and Similar Surnames, such as, RAZEE, RACEY, RAZEY, RASAY, RAASAY, RAASEY, RACIE, RACEE, RASY, RASSY, RACY, RAZY, RACE, RAZE, RAISEY, RAISY, RASIE, RAYSAY, RAYSE, etc.
So far, the RASEY Surname Project has results returned for four members representing two major progenitors in the United States: Joseph RAZEE I of Massachusetts, then Rhode Island and Joseph RASEY I of Massachusetts, then New Hampshire.  Testing just these four individuals has resolved two long-standing issues for RASEY/RAZEE/etc. genealogists:

1.  The two families are not genetically matching based on both their STR haplotypes and their SNP haplogroup subclades, thus firmly debunking the assertion that Joseph RAZEE I was the father of Joseph RASEY I. 

2.  The results for the descendants of Joseph RASEY I debunk the legend of a connection to Malcolm MacLEOD of the Isle of Raasay, Scotland, whose kin are Haplogroup R1b, while Joseph's are a subclade of Haplogroup I2.  Being in these different haplogroups means they cannot possibly have shared a common ancestor for tens of thousands of years.

 Distribution Map of Haplogroup I, released to the public domain by Hxseek at Wikipedia.
Haplogroup I is found almost exclusively in Europe where it is represented in about 20% of the population, making it the second most common haplogroup in western Europe, after R1b.  Overall, Hg I has a broad European distribution, from the British Isles east to the Ural Mountains of Russia and south to Anatolia and the Mediterranean Sea.  Hg I is divided into two main groups:  I1 and I2, with the former being more common than the latter.
It's difficult to generalize about I2 because it contains a number of geographically separate subgroups.  One subgroup of I2 is concentrated in the Balkans and is called "Dinaric" (named for a mountain range there, the Dinaric Alps), while another subgroup is found around the Baltic and North Sea coastal areas, another in the British Isles, and another in Sardinia and Iberia.  One subgroup of I2, called "Isles," is almost exclusive to the British Isles, with a high concentration in Scotland, while our members turn out to belong to two different sub-clusters of "Continental."  Continental is believed to have originated in western France and to have spread from there northwards into Scandinavia and eastwards to the Black Sea.
If you are interested in your deep ancestry, as evidenced by your haplogroup subclade, I would recommend being deep SNP tested, joining the Y-Haplogroup-I-M223 project, and subscribing to the Y-DNA-Haplogroup-I mailing list.

Based on Jim Cullen's Haplogroup I Subclade Predictor, this family has a 100% probability of being I-M223-Continental-1. 
#70816 has been deep SNP tested, with these results:
V218+ M223+ L800+ M284- L126- M379- P78- P95- L380-  L801+ 
Update (23 May 2012; 30 May 2012):
Z186+ Z161+ L340+ Z78+ L1198+ Z79- L343-
#70816 and #110919 have a paper descent from Joseph RAZEE I, and they match each other 35/37 (genetic distance 3), with the differences being on fast-mutating markers.  This result is consistent with them having a near common ancestor and supports their paper connection.  They have no significant matches with anyone else in either the FTDNA or Ysearch databases.

Discussion:
The Y-Haplogroup I-M223 Project has placed our two RASEYs in the Continental 2b - Group 1 STR Cluster.  Alleged Connection to Malcolm MacLEOD

The RASEY family has so few values in common with the MacLEOD family modal haplotype that there is not the slighted possibility they are closely related to them.  Knowing just the haplogroup, alone, is enough to debunk the legend of a connection between Joseph RASEY I and Malcolm MacLEOD of the Isle of Raasay, Scotland, whose kin are Haplogroup R1b.  People in these two  haplogroups (I2 and R1b) haven't had a common ancestor for tens of thousands of years.  And given that fact, we wouldn't expect their haplotypes to match or be even close to our subject.  This expectation is overwhelmingly realized by comparing the Joseph RASEY descendants' haplotypes to the modal R1b haplotypes in the MacLEOD project (see above).  At 111 markers, their modal haplotypes have a Genetic Distance of 128 — a resounding non-match!
The descendants of Joseph RASEY I, the PALMERTONs, and the PARMETER are tight STR and SNP matches supporting that they have a near common ancestor in genealogical time.  I'm working on their census records, and we do find the RASEY and PARMETER families crossing paths in Vermont and New York.
DYS712 (in Panel 5) is an extremely volatile marker, so a five-step mutation is not an error.  It should be counted as 1 for the purpose of calculating GD (genetic distance) because it probably happened in a single mutation event.
Both RASEYs, plus the PARMETER and PALMETER, have six alleles at DYS464 (in Panel 2).  Having more than four alleles at DYS464 is uncommon, occurring in only about 1.5% of tested individuals.  The two extra 14 alleles probably appeared in a single mutation event, which duplicated the two existing 14 alleles, so the mutation is counted as 1 when calculating GD.  The WTY test for #69631 revealed the six alleles at DYS464 are g-type alleles.
The addition of alleles for the PARMETER / PALMETERs at DYS459 (Panel 2) and CDY (in Panel 3) probably happened in a single event — just as the addition of two alleles at DYS464 happened in a single, but different, event.  Because I've calculated GD per panel, I've had to split the GD into halves between the two panels. Update (11 Aug 2016; 31 May 2017):  The BigY SNP test taken by #221356 includes some 400+ Y-DNA STR marker results.  These results are not displayed by FTDNA, but are included in the YFull analysis of the BigY BAM file.  Our subject has 28 private (unique) STR marker values and no significant matches within these added markers in the YFull database.  He has 155 distant matches with GDs ranging from 50/292 to 100/411. 

SNP Testing:
#69631 and #221356 have been deep SNP tested, with these results:
M223+ M284- L126- M379- P78- P95-
The positive value for M223 prove they are I2a2a.  #69631 has also tested L592; as expected, the result was negative.
#69631 has now (10 Oct 2011) been tested for the WTY program (GRC11054714), with these positive results:
L15 L16 L34 L35 L36 L37 L41 L74 L181 L340 L350 L352 L380 L403 L460 L470 L503 L622
M42 M89 M139 M170 M223 M294 P9.1 P38 P123 P143 P158 P214 P215 P217 P218 P222 P223
SRY10831.1 V64 V174 V189 V202 V203 V205 V226 V235 V238
including these three new SNPs:
V218.2 (ChrY:6722712 C to T) L800 (ChrY:7943549 G to A) L801 (ChrY:20223143 A to C)
As more people are taking these tests, it appears that V218.2 (a.k.a., V218) is synonymous with P19 and other SNPs defining Haplogroup I.  It also appears that L800 is synonymous with M223 and other SNPs definining Haplogroup I2a2a.  However, L801 appears to distinguish the various "Continental" STR clusters of M223.
Updates (28 Mar 2012; 23 May 2012; 30 May 2012; 2 Jan 2014; 20 Jan 2014; 27 Feb 2014; 3 Jan 2015):
L460+ L340+ Z186+ Z76+ Z161+ CTS1977+ L592- CTS1858- CTS6433- L343- L1439- Z78- Z79- L1290- S16196- PF2384-
The RAZEE is Z78+, so this is another difference between the two families.
Update (5 May 2015):  #221256 has taken the BigY...
Update (29 May 2015):  the BigY results for #221256 have been analyzed by YFull (see discussion to the upper right).

         
What constitutes a match?
Matches in other surnames are usually mere coincidence, so please ignore them — I'll let you know when you shouldn't!
For 12 markers: 9 or less is a non-relative; for 10-12 markers, please see this table compiled by FTDNA.
For 25 markers: 21 or less is a non-relative; for 22-25 markers,
For 37 markers: 31 or less is a non-relative; for 32-37 markers,
For 67 markers: 59 or less is a non-relative; for 60-67 markers,
For 111 markers: 100 or less is a non-relative; for 101-111 markers,
For any test:  0 matching markers, please contact NASA.
