Faith,
The "7" is simply a sequence identifier. M222 was the seventh identified
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that defined a subclade of R1b1c, so it
got the number. There was also a rare R1b1c8 recognized about the same time.
Since then, there are three more known subclades that have the labels
R1b1c9, R1b1c10 and R1b1c11. Undoubtedly more will come. You can see a
summary table of R1b1c SNPs at http://www.geocities.com/mcewanjc/r1bsnp.htm

Well, yes. But surely you don't want to simply ignore that some markers are
much more volatile than others. And I think you would probably acknowledge
that comparing the results you get with several different alternative sets
of markers will illustrate the point you make. I think the trouble you warn

These came from John McEwen's R1b clustering chart. There are actually a

John,
I agree with your last paragraph, that much more research needs to be done
on R1b1c7 or M222+, not just in the well known locations of Ireland and
Scotland, but also the lesser well known ones like France and Germany, and
the potential ones like Spain, Belgium or Scandinavia - only then can we
fully analyze the STR's and see what haplotypes are shared in common and
where.
I also urge everyone to take the SNP test and determine accurately if you
are M222 or not - of course if you have the same STR va
Does anyone on this list know how to use the time calculations in

The Trinity College team used this program to calculate the TMRCA for Ui

Hi;
Thank you. My point about The Trinity study and Ui Neill is:
There is a line yet to be drawn somewhere between the history/myth of
Fomorians and The Ui Neill concept. No one now knows where that is. As a
result we should maintain healthy curiosity alongside skepticism to avoid
"throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

John,
Remember that the putative progenitor of the Ui Neill lineage, Niall,
was given the title, "of the Nine hostages" for a reason - he had
according to legend, founded nine colonies among other peoples, and
had taken hostages from them to secure them.
The nine peoples were:
1. Munster
2. Leinster
3. Connaught
4. Ulster
5. the Britons
6. the Picts
7. the Dal Riada
8. the Saxons
9. the Morini of Gaul
Niall himself died while waging war in Gaul - modern France - after all.
Therefore is it any wonder tha

David,
Thank you for putting up the new map. I wondered about the original map
since there are many with roots from NW County Mayo that have the R1b1c7
haplotype. Most are from close to the northern coast of County Mayo as the
new map indicates.
I have another question I am curious about. My brother (74163) has a value
of 12 for marker 455. This seems unusual for this group. Everything I have
tried to find indicates that 455 is not one of the faster-mutating markers.
If I look at the Manley (Munnell
John,
Yes, Duncan is a Scottish name and obviously of Gaelic origin.
I can come up with a few ideas as to why it might be found in Dorset:
1. There was supposedly an Irish settlement in Cornwall, and Dorset is not
too far from there.
2. There was a Viking settlement in South West Wales and surrounding parts
of England - not to far from Dorset - and if this like other Viking colonies
was a mixed Viking/Gaelic one, then it could have come from there.
Cheers,

Hi David, I have been going through the Annals of Ulster and the Four

that refer to Scotland, including the Western Isles. I must say, the old

The Corpus of Electronic Texts, the editors have added the following reference:

Paul, are you talking about the 12th century Anglo-Norman colonization of NE
Ireland? If so, you are mistaken. The Anglo-Normans relied on Irish tenants
to work "their" lands. "In Ulster, only the coastal territory of Antrim and

There are 8 participants in the Mackenzie DNA project that we consider to be R1b1c7 - 3 of those are at 67 markers and have been SNP tested. Two of the 67 marker participants have the Niall emblem and can trace their family history back to Scotland in the early 1800s. The others are unable to place their lineage in either Scotland or Ireland.
There are 6 participants in the Gillespie DNA project that we consider to be R1b1c7. 5 of them are predicted to be R1b1c7 and one is still listed as R1b1. I am ple

Paul, responding to your message beginning, "Great links:"
To your first question, yes, but everything turns on the word "probably."
Consider a lineage in which there is no mutation for 10 generations, then
one finally occurs. These calculations will yield the result that the man
whose son first showed the mutation is "probably more closely related" to
his 8th great grandfather than he is to his own son. I am beginning to think
that average mutation rates and calculations based on them should only be
used

I am sorry to have hurt Gene's feelings, but let me share some thoughts.

Maybe I have missed a discussion about the value of CDYa, and I guess we
can expect modals to evolve as more tests are done. However, what is the
current view - is CDYa in the R1b1c7 modal 38 as shown in FTDNA
(YSearch), or 37 as shown at _http://www.m222.net/R1b1c7_?
Further, my CDYa = 37 and CDYb = 40, cf modal 38,39 (or 37,39). Does CDY
have the same complications as 389? Does my CDY represent one, two or
three mutations from the notional?
