If you do take the Big Y, you get information like this below. It connects my family with the 3 Rathlin Island samples(Lara M. Cassidy 2015), down to a group of 8 men living today. Rathlin Samples: Rathlin1 2026BC - 1885BC M269>L23>L51>L11>P312>S461>L21>DF13>DF21 Rathlin2 2024BC - 1741BC...

Living DNA does test the L21 line Living DNA got me to M269>L23>L51>L11>P312>L21>DF13>DF49>DF23>M222 from the start. FTDNA among others, have me at M269>L23>L51>L11>P312>L21>DF13>DF49>DF23>M222>FGC4077>A725>S676

Six company comparison My 23andMe results just came in and they got my Italian grandfather somewhat better than the others. His mother was from Frosinone and his father was from L'Aquila. My other grandparents were 2 Irish and 1 West Jersey Quaker. West Jersey was the name of the first Quaker...

The new and interesting thread about E-V13 and the "Hallstatt Celts and Italics" prompted a question in my mind which I did not wish to ask in that thread for fear of a derailment. My family was brought into the Genetic Genealogy field by an email to our website from someone of the same surname...

Yes, as explained to Davef, I was not clear. I have seen other people with non-southern Italian, but still Italian ancestry receive results like mine. In the US, Italian-Americans are very much from the south, especially Sicily and Calabria which Ancestry lists as Italy/Greece. My thought was...

Yes, I phrased this poorly. I score little or no Italian on any of the 5 companies to which I sent my results. Since the Irish is consistently accounted for by about 75%, which matches the paper trail, I concluded that the remaining approximately 25% is from my Italian maternal grandfather.

The rest is generally Ireland. Here is a picture. Both MyHeritage and Living DNA have me at 84% Irish or Great Britain and Ireland. That is why I included some south England numbers in the original graphic to make up the about 25% that he needs.

I cannot say with certainty whether he had any unusual ancestry. My aunts who visited his sisters in Italy did not mention anything interesting like that. If you note the other companies (MyHeritage is excluded, but about the same), they are all over the place as well. The second version of...

I don't know. We always just knew about Frosinone and some of the aunts were in contact with the family there. When I did DNA testing I found that most of the Italian connections (that I could reasonably trace) were from western Abruzzo. I dug deeper and found that both my grandfather and his...

My grandfather was born in Frosinone, Latzio, but his father came from Abruzzo. He never gets any central (or much of any) Italian. This is Living DNA Here are the others for reference

Sparky, I know this message is several years old, but I wonder if you have any opinion on the HG I data from McEvoy 2006? There are two names which descend from the ruling peoples of the Uí Echach Coba, also called the Cruithin which is cognate with Pretani who inhabited part of County Down in...

The I1 Haplogroup is, as has been noted, not common in Ireland, but it is believed to be very old there. The Trinity College Dublin study of 2006, which discovered M222, also has I1 results. They list the HG as IxI1b2, so I am just assuming that this is still I1 as so many names have changed...

Their analysis indicates that lactose intolerance persisted to the late Bronze Age. While fermented milk was eaten in the Neolithic, raw milk was not. They also indicate that they can detect new populations, not just new technologies. The full article from Nature...

In 496 AD the Irish Annals record the storming of Dún Lethglaise now called Downpatrick in County Down. Dunseverick in Antrim is named after the Dun of Sobarki, the legendary king of Ulster who lived, (if he lived at all), several centuries before the common era.
