Let's not forget that 1/4 of the Norwegian population falls into haplogroup 1, so hg1 is *also* a Scandinavian marker, and just as useful a Scandinavian marker as hg2 (i.e., not at all useful). > I know someone doing these studies and they do not take such a firm stand > as you ie NOT and NEVER! :-) NP Hmmm.

Of the above, Rodriquez is obviously Spanish (a patronymic surname derived from the forename Rodrigo, which probably goes back to the Visigoths). Ramey is ambiguous (to me, anyhow), but the rest are English or Anglo-Irish. It is certainly possible that Sephardim have at one time or another adopted any of those surnames, but it would be reckless to imagine that these names could be part

Those codes are purely private, and only RelGen can tell you exactly what they mean. A bit of history: when RelGen started giving reports with numeric repeat counts, they included the warning that these results were not "CEPH calibrated". In

6. [DNA] Update on Rice family DNA study [1]
As I announced here a while back, the Edmund Rice (1638) Association is conducting a DNA study of persons with names like Rice, and we have 14 haplotypes so far. All who have such names are invited to join. We have finally gotten around to organizing the raw results and posting a table thereof. The web page can be found on our web site http://edmund-rice.org/ Incidentally, we are publishing a paper on these results in New England Ancestors (a periodical published by the NEHGS for its membershi

I visited their web site. It seems to be mostly concerned with paternity testing. As such, their lab work must be primarily on autosomal markers, rather than Y or mtDNA. I didn't see any technical details. There were three sound recordings of radio spots that I didn't listen to (incompatible software), but I really don

It means you are 1.15+, which is defined as 1.15 (AMH) plus all haplotypes that are one step away from 1.15 on any of the six loci. John Chandler

It's very similar to the testing for STRs that the commercial labs offer, but it's not available commercially, as far as I know. The research labs do it. Possibly, the specialty firms do it, too, as part of the paternity testing and such, but I haven't looked into that. John Chandler

The Atlantic Modal Cluster is just a long name for 1.15+, which is, for the most part, within hg1. 1.15+ is not identical to hg1 by any means. Bear in mind that hg1 is actually defined in terms of the Rare Event Mutations (like SNPs) that are too rare to be particularly useful in elucidating family trees and are therefore

Dennis wrote: > My results for the six > markers of the Atlantic Modal Haplogroup match exactly except for DYS 393 A matter of terminology: AMH is a haploTYPE not a haplogroup. As its name implies (MODAL), it is the most common haplotype in Europe and especially (ATLANTIC) in western Europe. It is typical of HAPLOGROUP 1, which is in turn very common in Europe, especially toward the west. Your being just one step away from the AMH means that you almost surely belong to haplogroup 1 (but we can't be abso

(A) If the two lines are *very* closely related, so that you don't actually expect *any* mutations at all (but can't rule them out, either), then you can use Ann's MCRA calculator. It covers 0, 1, or two mutations and is therefore adequate for this regim

Jim wrote: > but please direct me to how to answer someone's simple question: > "Who is my MRCA,?" using the following information: That's very much like asking for the sound of one hand clapping. "MRCA" stands for "most recent COMMON ancestor", i.e., common to two or more people. You have to look at the haplotypes of two different people and estimate how recent the MRCA was by counting up the number of mutations that separate the two. John Chandler
14. Re: [DNA] Haplogroups I, II and III [1]
Bert wrote: > Thus my question: How do the three > European Haplogroups differ amongst themselves There are at least two different ways of defining them. In one system, hg3 has a mutation at 92R7 and M9 but not at SRY-1532, while hg2 has only SRY-1532, and hg1 has all three. In the other system, SRY-1532 is not considered, and hg3 is flagged by a difference at SYR10831 instead. The latter is the system used by Wilson et al. > and where is each group > mostly found?

I'm sure this was meant partly tongue-in-cheek, but it suggests an underlying assumption that anyone who falls into hg1 is "probably" either Irish, Welsh, or Basque. Not so. Hg1 is common all over Europe. I am guessing that, in terms of absolute numbers, a randomly chosen European hg1 person is "probably" German or French

Any haplotype that occurs in a significant fraction of the Anglo-Saxon source population can NOT be considered as evidence of Viking origin.

The term haplotype specifically refers to the genotype of a haploid cell, so the only chromosome that can be pinpointed as such in an ordinary cell is the sex chromosome X or Y. (All other chromosomes are in nearly-identical pairs.) Indeed, the X's in a female are also paired nearly identically. The term is often used for the genotype of the mtDNA as well, but purists te

Perhaps someone could comment on these results that I have obtained from Oxford Ancestors. DYS19 14 DYS388 12 DYS390 26 DYS391 10 DYS 392 13 DYS 393 12 DYS 389i 11 DYS 389ii-i 16 DYS425 12 DYS 426 12.

Hi, let me start off by stating that I I'm new to all of this DNA testing for genealogy, but have been reading as much as I could find on the subject over the last few months. I do have a question that I have not be able to find an answer for (or I over looked it) and was hoping someone more in the know can shed some light on this. My last name is Schmidt (paternal name), but was originally Schnut in Germany and is still today Schnut in Germany at least back to 1580. It was changed in the US around 1
