Subject: [DNA] STRUNK Y DNA result
Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2003 20:04:55 -0500


We have received our first 12 marker Strunk/Strunck Y DNA result:

DYSAllele
1917
385a11
385b14
38812
389i13
389ii30
39025
39110

39313

Using a haplotype arrangement as 388, 393, 392, 19/394, 390, 391, his set
is 12, 13, 11, 17, 25, 10. This is two steps off the Norwegian haplotype
set in Wilson, J. F., Weiss, D. A., Richards, M., Thomas, M. G., Bradman,
N., Goldstein, D. B. "Genetic evidence for different male and female
roles during cultural transitions in the British Isles". Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. U. S. A., vol 98 (9) p5078 (2001)".

However, in the FTDNA Recent Ethnic Origins database, he has one exact 12
marker match in India and one in Poland. In his 1 step matches, he has a
total of 35 matches with 16 Ashkenazim and 4 of those identified as
Levites. These are largely from Eastern Europe and 1 Native Siberian.

This person is a descendant of Daniel Strunk, of NC and KY, believed to
be a son of John or Johann Strunck of MD, VA and NC. Daniel's brother
was an Abraham Strunk of VA and KY who died in KY in 1796. Daniel had 31
children by three wives. A feat almost equaled by one of his sons,
Abraham Strunk, with 30 children.

Comments on these results are solicited. I wonder how comparable these
are to non-Cohen Jews. If you know of any Strunk named males, let them
know about the project at FTDNA.
