Hi Sparkey, sorry I didn't see your latest response and thank you for the clarification, but guess that I should point out that I was using Terry Robb's TMRCA calculations and know they differ from KN. so whom is right?

You would be in good company in the Z140 subclade. I am in 3B myself. When looking at these clades and the different sizes of them it makes me wonder if the size of the clades as described by Ken Nordvedt AS* etc.. Also tells as to which Germanic tribes they may associate with? I'll leave it...

Crap, I just noticed you were asking about the Magyars, it's possible but I haven't studied the Magyar invasion yet so really can't answer.

NordicWarrior, I trace my paternal line back to Saint Arnulf of Metz, so I'm comfortable saying Frankish for now, but yet still would like to know more, especially about the Arnulflings and earlier Germanic tribes and where they fit into the picture.Here is another map that is interesting. Well...

Nordicwarrior, I see your point about the Franks. Even the Suebis were known to be a group of many tribes that shared some commonalities. Nice map. I'm not so sure that I am of the opinion the Suebis were driven out of Prussia by the Huns. Another argument is that these western migrations...

Maciamo, thank you for indulging me. I understand your point about the Saxon in Flanders, but then if you were not noble there wasn't else much to do but be a peasant, fisherman or farmer. From my understanding even soldiers were farmers back then and would not be called if it was planting or...

Due to the postulation of Saxon settlement and participation in the Frankish empire it makes me wonder of their participation In the Carolingian empire. To read about the Arnulflings they seem to be more German?

Is it possible these Saxons who had influence in Flanders area blended into the Frankish empire or at least some of them? I believe my ancestry to be Frankish, but if they did blend into the Frankish empire, I might originally be Saxon? Any thoughts?

What? Please explain to me how the age of a clade is older than its founder?

Sparky, thank you for correction, I misread an old map and low blood sugar at the time. Sorry Redwolf, Sparky is right. Your DYS 390 is greater than 22 so that indicates "more than likely" Scandinavian connection so you need more markers tested to determine further. Actually, the TMRCA for...

Hello Redwolf, If you are L22- then you are possibly L258+ which has TMRCA origins in Finland 3,500 BC. You should consider also testing downstream SNP's.
