ancestry

Just wondering, how accurate do you guys think is the common ancestor theory? I'm sure many of you have heard of this, but for those who haven't, to sum it briefly, the theory states that all Europeans are descend from all of the Europeans 1000 years ago who had descendants. I'm kind of doubtful...

Two US presidents, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush apparently belong to haplogroup R1b DF27>Z196>Z209> CTS4065>S16864 based on the results from the Bush Surname Project. I ran the haplotype in NevGen's haplogroup predictor to determine the subclade. They descend from Reynold Bush (1600-1686)...

There is a Thanksgiving family offer from Xcode Life for those who are interested in analyzing their DNA raw data for more information. It is a complete health bundle with Nutrition, Fitness, Health, Allergy, Skin, MTHFR and Precision Medicine.

Hi all, as you can probably already tell, I'm a little surprised by my DNA results judging by my previous thread. None the less, I'm roughly speaking half Italian (Sicilian and Italian) and half 'American' (French) and Eastern European. Although my DNA results have shown that I'm mostly...

Stumped! I have unknown Central Asian ancestry. Lots of it. I can’t help but think this is an error, but maybe it’s not? So I’ve known my ancestry pretty well, considering I’m such a mixed person. I'm half Puerto Rican (Spanish, Taíno, Corsican, and distant West African), a quarter Japanese...

I am new at this and a bit confused. P (K2b2) P295 PF5866 S8 92R7_1 92R7_2 F91 P~ K2b2~ CTS3358 CTS5884 CTS7194 CTS9604 F212 F29 F332 F359 F506 F524 L82 L821 M1109 M1160 M1187 M1192 M1198 M1210 M1216 M1218 M1224 M1228 M1229 M1232 M1235 M1240 M1243 M1244 P1 (K2b2a)...

I always wanted to know for sure where my ancestors are from. First of all, I'm very skeptical and have doubts about how accurate these results really are. How much does it cost to take one of those tests, and how accurate do I need to expect them? Let's say they show me that my dna is from...

Hi! I'm new in this forum, so here's my first thread. My blood type is B (Rh positive). In theory, I should have asian ancestry, since that blood type had its origin in that region. HOWEVER, as far as I know, none of my ancestors came from Asia. I know that I descend from Europeans (Spain) and...

Good day to everyone here! I'm from Italian, Spanish and Portuguese ancestry and I took the family tree dna test to see if my deep roots really come from those places. It turns out that my Y-DNA is R-M269, but as I've been learning, I can't really say from which people that came from, since it...

hey all i wanted to post my haplogroups and need some help with my haplogroup on my paternal side. Mom's side: L3,N,R,U,U5,U5a1d Dad's Side: M42,M168,M89,P128,M45,M207,P231,M343,L278,P310,U106 (R-U106),U198 (R-U198) All of these are from Geno 2.0. i'm asking what my ancestry might be or my...

The first President of the United States, George Washington may well have belonged to R1b-L21>DF13. This deduction is based on the results from the Washington DNA Project where most bearers of that surname belong to various clades under DF13. The only member who claims descend from John...

This thread is dedicated to proposing new famous members of haplogroup R1b-L21 (M529) and its subclades. So far, confirmed R1b-L21 carriers include: - The House of Stuart (DF13 > DF41 > L744 > S781) - James Buchanan (L1335 > CTS11722 according to the Buchanan DNA Project) - William Ewart...

This thread is dedicated to proposing new famous members of haplogroup R1b-U152 (S28) and its subclades. So far, confirmed R1b-U152 carriers include: - The House of Habsburg (L2+ based on the Habsburg Family Project) - Abraham Lincoln (probably L2+ according to the Lincoln DNA project) Here...

This thread is dedicated to proposing new famous members of haplogroup R1b-U106 (S21) and its subclades. So far, confirmed R1b-U106 carriers include: - The House of Bourbon - The House of Wettin - James K. Polk (L48+ according to the Polk-Pollock DNA Project) - Ulysses S. Grant (U106 > L47...

Inspired by sparkey's excellent thread Searching for famous I2 carriers, I thought it could be useful to start a thread to investigate another haplogroup that hasn't yielded so many famous individuals so far. Confirmed I1 carriers include: - Birger Jarl - Alexander Hamilton - Andrew Jackson...

According to the Gladstone DNA Project, the lineage of the famous Victorian British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898) belongs to R1b-L21. Indeed, his genealogy can be traced back to James Gledstanes who died in 1493 in Lanarkshire, Scotland. Gladstone is considered by some one...

Looking into the Home/Hume DNA Project I managed to identify the ancestral lineage of the great Scottish philosopher, historian and economist David Hume (1711-1776). His genealogy shows that he is descended from Thomas Home of Home (1355-1427), and ultimately from William Dominus de Home, Laird...

I was compiling a list of common Ashkenazi Jewish surnames and their dominant Y-haplogroups when I found the Oppenheimer DNA Project. The original Oppenheimer family from the Rhineland-Palatinate appears to have belonged to Q1b. I verified the genealogy of the American theoretical physicist J...

Using surname projects at FamilyTreeDNA, I have listed the dominant Y-DNA haplogroup for a series of common Jewish family names. Common alternative spellings are mentioned in brackets. Haplogroups that make up at least 50% of the total surnames in the project are in bold. Biblical lineages -...
