Indeed, well it was one of reasons I put the question to them, as you can see they only really cosidered clades of R1a and R1b, no doubt there are subclades of I1 that have quite localised scandinavian origin, adding these in would get a better picture.

Here's another image from Scotlandsdna with regards to these precentages which are based on Y-Chromosome lineages only: I ask them over twitter what Haplogroups did they considered to be "Viking" in a Ireland/Britain context the answer was: "R1a-S200, R1a-S201, R1a-S223*, R1a-S443*, R1b-S182...

Given JFK ancestor was from South-East I'd think M222 is unlikely. Generally irish Kennedy family (as oppose to Scottish Kennedy) is regarded as Dál gCais (L226+) though from testing we also see that they can "Irish Type IV" and there's even some who are L21-/DF27+

Tbh, as an Irish person living in Ireland I haven't a clue what the term "Black Irish" means, we hear americans talking about it but it's not a term ever used in Ireland. The only people we'd classify as "Black Irish" would be people with recent african admixture (Phil Lynott good example) or...

From Woulfe's 1923 book --- Ó LONÁIN—I—O Lonane, O Lonan, O Lonnan, O Lannan, O Lennane, Lenane, Lanon, Lannan, Lannon, Lannen, Lannin, Lennon, (Leonard); 'descendant of Lonán' (diminutive of lon, a blackbird); the name (1) of a Cork family who were originally settled in the neighbourhood of...

I'm assuming you have tesed with FTDNA, if you havn't already join the Ireland yDNA Project. I'll be able to compare you to other project members when it comes to testing further SNP's. It's probable at a minium you are DF13+ like most L21+. Here's a relatively recent version of Mike Walsh's...

If he's tested with Scotland's DNA he won't have any STR values, so it will be hard to match him with other Z274+. That's unless he's also tested with FTDNA. -Paul (DF41+)

As an aside the Icelandic version of Dubhthach is: Dufþakur -- the name of an Irish slave who led a group of run aways. http://www.visitwestmanislands.com/sidur/general-information The Vestmann islands in Iceland are named after these slaves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestmannaeyjar

Mike, To avoid confusion references to "Northern Ireland" (a political construct of the 1920's) shouldn't be used when talking about the Viking age. Aside from that it's well know fact that the Vikings suffered several military defeats in both Ulster and Connacht. So much so that you find no...

Busby paper on M269 had data for the following: M269 L51 (S167) M269 (L11-) -- S127- L11+ (S127) L11+ (U106-, P312-) -- S127+ (S21-, S116-) You could use that to provide some data points for L11*

DYS437=14, DYS448=18, GATAH4=10, DYS392=13, DYS531=11, DYS388=12, DYS426=12, and DYS454=11 Obviously your map at the moment shows two of the know clades of Z196. There however DF27+, Z196- men out there. For example men with native Irish surnames who are DF27+ often show up as Z196- There's...

Majority of Iberian P312 is actually DF27+. This is a fairly new snp discovered in 2012 I believe. It's a brother clade to L21 and U152. When you factor it in the amount of P312* drops massively. Within DF27 the major clade is Z196, biggest chunk of Iberian DF27+ falls into Z196+ camp...

Míl Espáine is "pseudo-history" created by the synthetic historians in the 8th century. There is no mention of him before then and his name is a calque from latin (literally meaning "Spanish soldier") -- in other words it's all just a pile of rubbish connocted for political reasons to reflect...

It may be found at high levels in Ireland but highest variance is seen in L21 samples from the continent particulary from France. The figures for North-West France in that study put L21+ at 40% this would specifically include Brittany. Of course one thing that Ireland and Brittany have in common...

Well just going on the STR diversity and the number of DF13-/DF63- the area that is now France (and perhaps Western Germany as well?) is looking like a source destination. L21 is old enough, it's a Bronze Age SNP, some of folks doing TMRCA calculations have put the figure of 3,700-4,000 years...
