They say it’s post European settlement as it is predominantly M269 common in Western Europe. However my husband gets M269 and his male line is Ashkenazi. It does turn up in the Levant as a minority and it’s a seperate branch. I get linked to Native Americans. Just tiny amounts. My paternal...

The Cornish have preserved the Celtic language but on Y DNA maps there appears to be a substantial amount of R1b-U106 which is considered Germanic. More there than in my area which is Lancashire. Having said that not all U106 arrived in the migration era and the problem with Labels is they don’t...

They are discovering new things all the time. My brothers U106 line has been dated to 150 BC in England by FtDNA, it could change if a Continental Cousin turns up but there are quite a cluster of people with that have no Continental matches in a time frame you would expect. Germanic legions are...

Silures - if the gladiator / soldiers were typical of darker substrate + northern Celts and the substrate proportions increased to the west then the Silures would likely be noticably darker. It's a common misconception that the Romans described the Welsh as dark and clearly a Mediterranean...

My brother is the same line as Driffield 3 up to the SNP they gave him S11515 and these men with Germanic lines are not Frisian auxiliaries given the isotopes showed they grew up in Northern Britain. On my true Ancestry I actually match a sample found in Applecross a site in Scotland and that...

My maternal grandfather was U152 Z36. The Parkinson’s of Lancashire were said to be descended from the Featherstonehough family of Northumbria and the name was changed to Parkinson when someone inherited Fayresnape an Estate in Lancashire and various other holdings. I have got my tree back to...

Maybe I am getting ahead of myself but my father was X2c1 and his niece who carries it is one of only two testers who share an SNP with Filipinos and Taiwanese people MtDNA F and B. Goodness know when contact was made but even I see Beringia on deep dive DNA tests and find myself linked to...

If you have a rare line it stands to reason most of your other lines will be something else. My MtDNA J2(a1a1) is only about a 5th of the overall Jasmine lines, most are J1. My father was X2c1. About 3-4% of women in England will have those lines even when you add the totals together. The...

This is the less nice thing about being a 'rare' line. I have bobbed in for a look because I am closely linked to some MtDNA I samples. I am wondering if that's a sign one of my great grandmothers was MtDNA I because it's rare so I don't understand the close links. I never get linked to...

My grandmothers both had fairly unusual lines, J2a1a1 and X2c1 which has an almost unique link to people from the Far East via two SNP's. I would love to find two other great grandmothers haplogroups but I suspect one my be MtDNA 'I' simply down to how many sample matches I get on...

Sorry came up on Y DNA was aiming for MtDNA

My son in law is T1a1a1...not sure of it's origin but it's traced back to Gloucestershire England in the 1500's.

My brother is U106 DF96 downstream of the Briton 'headless gladiator number 3' found at Driffield Terrace. He sits on his own little twig on the tree although 4 Americans are downstream but our shared ancestor is 1200 a.d or so which isn't very helpful. We have an NPE on the line in 1801 so...

My maternal grandfather was U152 Z36 (one of 5 Parkinson lines all going back to the same family) we have got the line to Y700, they have it doing a long circular journey from it's origin in the Hallstatt region...low alpine route to France, hugging the French border with Germany, looping back...
