"In the first expansive period, from 2500 BC to about 2000 BC, L21 and its subclades were founded, split and expanded throughout the Atlantic Beaker range. Sometime later in the middle Bronze a...

Primarily Y-DNA I2a, which goes back to WHG (and the Epigravettian Refugium), but with a significant EEF admixture. My interest is primarily historical - Y-DNA can help to track migrations, but is a...

My U2e1d mtDNA haplogroup: Mary (nee Mann) Parnell (1790-1871) was born in (Mendon?) Massachusetts. William Mann (1607-1662) is listed as a settler from England in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

I-P214, according to FTDNA's Discover Tool, "represents a man who is estimated to have been born around 17,000 years ago...about 15,000 BCE with a 95% probability he was born between 16,993 and...

You are in the same branch as the administrator of the M223 Haplogroup Project, who is also from Australia. I think the surname likely came to Ireland (south Armagh?) from Scotland as part of the...

Note the Kurdistan "warm" spot.

The "Imperial Rome" samples look to be light on the "Yamnaya", lacking in "Remedello" entirely, but heavy on the "Anatolian BA", possibly due to drawing in people from the east. The "Etruscan"...

Yeah, Y-DNA is a different animal. There is no recombination or admixture, but rather a string of mutations (SNPs), occurring on a semi-regular basis along a single timeline, that are passed down...

More likely in the Balkans, then likely spread east to Ukraine and west to Italy. Your guys look to have taken the Grand Tour - going east, then west., then north, then south... At least you weren't...

17K years ago, we would still have been in the Epigravettian Refugium (encompassing the Balkans, Italy, etc.).

There are a bunch of samples with Stewart/Steward/Stuart surnames at A427>S23897>S23612>Y5362>Y5360>Y5369. The surname came from Walter fitz Alan, a Norman noble who was the High Steward of Scotland...

My current thinking is that the Isles Scot-Ire clade goes back to a remnant pre-Celtic population that survived the Bell Beakers in a refugium in the Western Isles, dating back to the...

I have a very "Irish" surname (although I am only 13% Irish on the Autosomal), but have a lot of "Scottish" Big Y matches, including Islanders, Highlanders, Lowlanders, and Border Reivers. So, when I...

Yes, the main reason to do FTDNA's Autosomal and mtDNA tests is to find matches among FTDNA's database of testers. I didn't find them to be particularly helpful. YDNA is FTDNA's strong suit.

The Big Y-700 is a stand-alone test. It is entirely separate from and won't add anything to your Autosomal or mtDNA results. It is currently on sale for $379 (reg. $449, so a $70 saving) through...

Maciamo calls U2 "rare" and "ancient", with low numbers spread thinly across Europe, with ancient samples dating back to the Cro-Magnons, etc.

I believe it has to do with the vulnerability of a "native" culture to depredation from the majority "national" culture, and the recognition that it has a valuable part of the culture as a whole and,...

I suspect that there was a mixed economy (of farming, herding, hunting/fishing, and gathering) in much of neolithic Britain and Ireland, rather than intensive agriculture. While horses were brought...

I have one Big Y match off of I-S7753/Y4171 (TMRCA 1900ybp/100CE), and eight off of I-Y4142 (TMRCA 1600ybp/400CE). Then 127 matches off of Y4751 (TMRCA 1550ybp/450CE). Many of these matches are...
