Rather than continue to lurk, I thought it was time to join up, and start asking questions etc.
I've been doing genealogy tracing for myself, and others for over 30 years, and had my own Y-DNA sampled originally about 10 years ago with FTDNA
That yielded almost nothing, but recent advances have allowed me to add additional screenings, and learn a little more. I am by no means a geneticist, and am wandering the 'Net learning what I can, which led me here at some point.
I've know for a long while I was I1 M253, but that was all.. now, thanks to BigY, and YFull.com I know my line is I1a* and awaiting some further refinements and clarifications.
CTS9857+, Z2891+, DF29/S438+
My paternal genealogy line has been hard to trace, so I was hoping genetics would help, and I have managed to make some solid connections, but not found a common documented ancestor yet with any of those leads.
In family lore, my paternal ancestors came to the US from Ireland, and before that Scotland.
Genetically that makes sense.
Presumption, from dna matches, says that they may have come to Scotland from Scandinavia somewhere.
So, I'm here to read and learn, and to ask questions to make sure I understand
