Subject: haplogroup r1b or q?--I am confused
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 18:05:57 -0600


I have a participant in my Pierce surname group that has a set of numbers that are miles away from others in our group. Family tree dna predicts R1b as his haplogroup.
I just entered the numbers at Whit's site and get a number of 50 for Q and 35 for R1b. Any opinions on these results? Guess we need to have the haplogroup tested. I don't know much about Q as we've had no others with this haplogroup in the project. A brief search tells me that it occurs in native Americans. This ancestor did marry a native American woman in the 1700s in Virginia, but he has an "English" name. Perhaps he was also native American and changed names.

Here are the results:
393-14
390-24
19-14
391-10
385a-11
385b-16
426-12
388-12
439-12
389-1- 14
392-14
382-2 30
458-16
459a-10
459b-10
455-11
454-12
447-25
437-15
448-19
449-30
464a-15
464b-15
464c-16
464d-16

Thanks for any thoughts on this. Brad Pierce
