It means "tested by FTDNA". My haplotype has been SNP tested out the gazoo
and is not green; in the I1a project which I believe is under the control of

I'd like to pose a question for the DNA experts that is probably lurking in
the minds of many who are R1b1c7. How and when did the DNA come to
Scotland? And why are so many Galloway and other border/lowland families R1b1c7?
A secondary but related question might be how old is the DNA?
If R1b1c7 originated in Ireland as the experts state, then it must have
migrated to Scotland at some point, perhaps gradually over time. When this
might have occurred would obviously depend on how old the
Although John McEwan is waiting for additional evidence, preliminary tests of 464x for people of possible Leinster ancestry seem to show that a test result of ccgg may well be an indicator.
Those of us who are R1b1c7 may not need additional proof, but it would be interesting to determine whether 464x test results can be used for other geographic origins. Have any other of you R1b1c7s been tested for 464x, and if so, would you share your results? I tested as ccgc.

Terry Strasser said, "...I myself edited the "unknown" haplogroup to R1b1c7
for this cousin on Ysearch. The resulting record was 'R1b1c7 (tested);' the

I think FtDNA should fix this confusing feature of YSearch. Even though we
have no doubt that the person in question is R1b1c7, the fact is that he has
not been 'tested' for this, which would require checking to see if he is
M222+. I am not so sure it makes a big difference, because the
We believe that "Ewing" was first used as a surname in the eleventh century
or so in the Lowlands of Scotland by some of the people who had descended
from the Dumnonii, Brythonic Celts of Alt Clud, later known as Strathclyde.
There is some reason to think that some of the first Ewings may have
been centered around the southern end of Loch Lomand in the northern part of
that region, on the north side of the Firth of Clyde. This area was taken
over by Gaels in the eleventh century and came to be known as Len
I joined the R1b1c7 project because my Y-DNA test results seem to fall in
the R1b1c7 haplogroup. I have not been SNP tested. There are currently
five other members of the Howle Y-DNA project that have essentially the same
test results as I do, but none of these have been SNP tested either. Would
having these five members join the R1b1c7 project be helpful to the project?
If so, I will ask them to join. Thanks. Tom Howle
Dear Terence:
Thanks for the response. The paper trail is with a
fourth cousin, listed as R1b1 on FTDNA, "unknown" on
Y-Search. His ID on the latter is WRTHK. My brother,
not the cousin's brother (just to be clear!), is a
confirmed R1b1c7, and he and the fourth cousin are
exact 37 marker matches. My brother's ID on Y-Search
is DHU7W. We all share the same surname (Coyne).
I can place my immigrant ancestor's probable sister in
County Westmeath in 1830 (baptism), but there is a
family tradition on the
David, I've taken your suggestion--on reloading to
Ysearch from the personal page of the cousin in
question, the haplogroup designation was automatically
reset to "unknown." This, I agree, is a very
confusing feature of Ysearch. Has anyone on this list
actually called FTDNA's attention to the problem this
is causing? I mean, anyone at the administrator
level?

Good Heavens. I knew there was DNA there, but imagining the collection

Ken's point is well taken. I think it would be swell if FtDNA would arrange
to display the actual SNP testing results for those of us interested in
confirming for ourselves any judgment to be made about haplogroup or
subclade designations, and also to allow folks to report SNP results from
elsewhere. Even if t

R1b1c7 have tested M222+. I have sorted the outlier as Pre-M222 on the
project page www.ftdna.com/public/R1b1c7 . Furthermore, no haplotypes have
tested M222+ that couldn't be predicted as R1b1c7 based on STR values. I
would say that with 37 markers or more available to study, R1b1c7 is the
haplogroup that is probably LEAST in need of a SNP to confirm membership.
The STR values are that distinctive.

Please disregard my last, I've had time to do some more research on

Thanks. I will fix that in the next table update.
Every now and again FTDNA refines its haplogroup projections. 74569 was
still projected R1b1 when I put the first version of that table together,
and I took the information straight out of their data base.

Linda, you make some well thought out points.
My reference was to the "general' trend of history as taught, vs history
as learned.
What people 'learn' is based on their personal interests, and comes
usually as a follow-on to formal education. Schooling can only be a
starting point, and it is self interest that motivates learning to a
depth that is considered to be 'knowledgeable.' It often takes many
years to get to an understanding the motivations, and reasons we seek.

Hello All,
My McKenzie family is represented by 3 DNA kits in the Mackenzie/McKenzie DNA Project. I have taken my brother's DNA kit to 67 markers and also had his sample SNP tested. He came back as R1b1c7, but does not have the Niall emblem as he is a GD of 1 on the first 12 markers that determine who gets the Niall emblem.
The project co-administrator has been working on a fluxus chart for the Mackenzie project and found a current grouping of 8 DNA kits near the results of my family and 2 DNA kits that
I just upgraded my reading to 67 markers, where it used to say R1b, it
now says R1b1c7 (tested), does that mean they actually ran the test, or
does that mean that it is still assumed?

Hi Nextdill,
The book to read on the Galloglass is "Scots Mercenary Forces in Ireland (1565-1603)" by Hayes-McCoy. It is the most thorough treatment that I am aware of and everything else I've read (including histories of Ireland) refer to it. (Not histories like the "Irish Annals", of course!)
If you read it you will learn that no one really knows who they were. We know where they came from. They came from the western Isles and no doubt the western coast. They are the usual guys living there at the time.
