My son took the 23 and me test, the results came back very very confusing

His Haplogroup came back E1B1A with EU 175. But what was odd it said it was with out some markers. When I researched that that had only been discovered in one other person in a study in Africa

However his autosomal DNA was 99.1 Northern European, with .9 unidentifiable the breakdown was just as we expected from genological research 50 percent German from the Rhineland, 11 percent Scandinavian from Copenhagen and the rest from the British isles.

How is this at all possible?

Our family immigrated from Germany (fathers line) 150 years ago. They lived in isolated German communities with no possible chance of interacting with a person from that Haplogroup, further If they have it would have shown up in the DNA tests he did, and nearly all my family did (he is the only one to take the 23 and me, everyone else used ancestry) all the autosomal results matched each other. Further all the pictures of my grandparents are blue eyed blond headed northern Germans (as am I and my kids)

So we know there was no chance of the Haplogroup being acquired in the United States. ( well the DNA test would have picked it up in the last 200 years and it states 0.0 percent African)

Which brings us to it me to Germany, once again they came from rural communities that were very homogenous almost interbreed to say the least, the same families immigrated to the US together as well.

I have read where this happened to a few other families of German and Austrian descent and there were isolated cases of this in Germany and Austria.

So I have come to a few hypothesis

1. The result was simply wrong, should of been E1B1B- they just made a mistake or the chip read it wrong, that is the most likely case. you get what you pay for

2. It is an ancient artifact, since the tribes with the E1B1 ( a and b) evoloved together this dude headed north with his brothers instead of west with his other kin) ended up in Europe. Also 1% of Scots supposedly carry this marker as well. This guy (his descendants could have cut a sawth all through Europe in pre history

3. During the Roman occupation of the Rhineland a soldier or slave raped one of my ancestors or she was a prostitute .

4. The Theban Legion? They were in Germany, Switzerland and Austria in the 200's R1B1A is present in thebes put not the sub clade (that we know of)

5. The Ubii- they mixed heavily with the Romans and they were the tribe in the area of my ancestors.

If not one (which a think it is) 2-5 could be possibilities because we know it has to be from a long time back because the other tests would have picked it up in the last 200-300 years.

Any advice or ideas would be appreciated
 
Id say either #1 or #2. Either it was a mistake or its a displaced African that ended up as an Arab or Roman slave and the line found its way to Germany.
 
150 years ago is a long time and the German community in the US is more heterozygous than people think. I think people far too often make the mistake in believing their DNA results will correspond with the written record.

The Rhineland German immigration happened earlier (PA/OH/NY) than those that settled the upper Midwestern states and there’s likely been a lot more admixture than thought.
 
I dont think it could be recent if its a direct African ancestor if he is coming at 99% N. European. He might have ties with a older colonial ancestor in the last 150 years (English or Dutch) that was mixed himself before the German arrivals.
 
My family settled in Central Missouri in 1838. In very isolated communities with the same people they immigrated with (the joke is we were inbreed in Germany and inbred here). My cousin just get his Ancestry results back. 99% Northwestern European as did my Paternal Uncle (dad brother) 99% Northwest European. (German, Dane, English 0.0% African. (still waiting for mine) Plus we have family Paternal Genealogy back to the 1560's. So why the German community may have been more hetrogenous outside of where we live, it's not the case here, people up to 5o years ago didn't even marry outside of there hometown. Luckily my Dad my Mom (Scot descent in college)

We have phots going back of the whole family going back to the civil war there not even Black German- they are blond almost platinum blond as my kids are, so any admixture would have to be pre immigration, but even then there would have been darker features one would think.

I put my sons raw data in true ancestry. It came back as Northern German is his closet match (once again 0% African) and predicted his Hapolgroup as R1B. Gave us some supposed ancient relations like Clan Seaton and Merovingians (which we know were are related to through my Mom).

His ancient mix was:

Viking Danish + Visigoth (4.55)
Viking Danish + Frank (4.555)
Saxon + Frank (5.154)
Visigoth + Saxon (5.17)
Celt + Frank (5.552)
Frank (6.052)
Saxon (7.014)
Viking Danish (7.327)
Visigoth (7.466)
Celt (9.232)

modern was:

1. North_German (6.913)
2. Welsh (6.973)
3. South_Dutch (7.739)
4. German_Central (7.957)
5. Southwest_English (8.101)
6. North_Dutch (8.147)
7. Flemish (8.353)
8. West_German (8.561)

(My wife is Welsh, once again all this makes sense)

But when It broke down his genetic match to ancient tribes (deep dive) it showed 1% from the Ballari tribe in Corsica. I never heard of them, supposedly they were mercenary's in the Carthaginian Army from Libya (the Turareng carry the EU 175 marker, they are from Libya) and Iberia that settled in Corsica (pre Roman). Later Rome took Corsica from Carthage, it also showed 2% Illyrian where there is known E1B1A (some pockets in Croatia)-- could that be the missing link?

Heck, I even more confused, but also intrigued - I still think it was read wrong, but I can see other possibilities.
 
If you have paternal geneology back to 1560
Than it is probably the last nail in the coffin
Your e1b1a than must have came from germany...
How e1b1a made it to germany in the first place
That is still enigma..:unsure:
Personally in my opinion the source could have been roman auxilirie units in germania superior province ( you say direct paternal line rhineland)

P.s
You mention corsica they realy do have some
E1b1a-v38 cases :)
In this paper :( go to results section)
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0200641
 
Direct Paternal line is from the west bank of the Rhine between Cologne and Xanten (a small town called Lank)

Roman Auxiliaries were my thought, Or the Ubii tribe who mixed with the Romans and their capital I believe was Bonn

BTW Thank you so much-

Take your son's father, and any other direct paternal relatives, download their raw data from Ancestry and upload it to cladefinder.yseq.net. You can also upload your son's 23andMe raw data and see what cladefinder says. If it's a mistake his father and other direct paternal relatives (paternal uncles and their sons, paternal grandfather, etc) would have something completely different.
 
My Ancestory DNA came back:
60 percent Germanic Europe
27 percent Norwegian
6 Swedish
4 Scott
3 welsh

Nothing from anywhere else in the world- that matches our family trees going back to the 1500's

Took your advice on cladefinder- it came up the same, so it's not a mistake-

The mystery remains- how a family can have the E-U 175 with not one ounce of west African autosomal dna- further all the ASDNA test are 100% Northern European not even one trace of southern European (except in my true ancestry that has 1% Ballari for Corsica)

So back to the Rhineland - The Thebian Legion? The Aurelian Moors (they were stationed in Germany before moving to Hadrian's wall) Our simply a Roman moved from central Corsica where remnants of Hannibal's army went to. His ancestors could have been in Carthage (like the Tureag) after a generation or two looked liked everyone else, Mediterranean, ended up in the Roman Army, ended up in Germany-looking like every-other roman.

p.s
while it is not snp which we can be 100% sure
prediction is also good sometimes :unsure:
 
Do you know the deeper subclade of E-U 175?

If it is E-Z1720 or E-M4254 or E-M4041,
they have samples from Lebanon, Egypt, and Algeria high up the clades, so could be good candidates for Roman mediated introgression into Europe before migrating Northward. All of the three have TMRCAs of around 5ky. My guess is if one of these three is indeed the clade then the ancestors could have moved north anytime in the last 5000 to 4000 years. I would guess they were already at least 1000 years or more in Western Europe to be 99% European autosomally and 0% West African.

A really interesting and unique result! Seems like your sons paternal ancestors were quite the travelers. I think that is something to be proud of.

As a fun fact we know that there was very peculiar movements Africa to Europe and vice versa, what makes this more interesting in my opinion is that it is such an underrepresented clade, as opposed to for example the R1b back migration into Africa. (https://i.imgur.com/m8w8gzi.png)

I like the Roman legion hypothesis the most (except it could have been consensual also, not necessarily ra pe).

"His Haplogroup came back E1B1A with EU 175. But what was odd it said it was with out some markers. When I researched that that had only been discovered in one other person in a study in Africa"

I also think finding out his terminal SNPs/Clade could be key to solving this mystery. Since depending when it split from the rest of the tree, it could give you an approximate date for when it entered Europe.

Nonetheless, seeing how autosomaly your son resembles Celts, Vikings etc. I have a feeling that his ancestor predates all these cultures, and his descendants were part of those tribes and contributed to those cultures.

Thanks so much

Its possible- it is really cool there is a lot we don't understand.

They say that the NORDWEST block is different, perhaps there were early tribes there that carried that DNA from Africa. Maybe it came from the Romans intermixing with the Ubii in the Rhineland, perhaps the Aur Moors, they fought in the Rhineland. As a History buff the speculation is wild.

TOTAL 55/1023 = 5.4%

Most of them are E-V13, with a minority of other sub-clades of E-M35. It is interesting to note the possible E-M78*, and also the E-M2-derived sub-clades as high as 0.4%


p.s
while it is not snp which we can be 100% sure
prediction is also good sometimes :unsure:

Huh intresting- why in Westphallian (I have a lot of relatives from there). There is speculation that the inhabitants of that area were part of the Nordwest block that were neither German nor Celt, could some ancient tribes have left a little of their genetic legacy behind? Also the Romans fought a lot there- interesting- thank you for the info.
 
you might find it interesting
This old research found
2 e1b1a cases in some south tyrol
Sub-populations :
;)

Abstract
Most of the inhabitants of South Tyrol in the eastern Italian Alps can be considered isolated populations because of their physical separation by mountain barriers and their socioculturel heritage. We analyzed the genetic structure of South Tyrolean populations using three types of genetic markers: Y-chromosome, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and autosomal Alu markers. Using random samples taken from the populations of Val Venosta, Val Pusteria, Val Isarco, Val Badia, and Val Gardena, we calculated genetic diversity within and among the populations. Microsatellite diversity and unique event polymorphism diversity (on the Y chromosome) were substantially lower in the Ladin-speaking population of Val Badia compared to the neighboring German-speaking populations. In contrast, the genetic diversity of mtDNA haplotypes was lowest for the upper Val Venosta and Val Pusteria. These data suggest a low effective population size, or little admixture, for the gene pool of the Ladin-speaking population from Val Badia. Interestingly, this is more pronounced for Ladin males than for Ladin females. For the pattern of genetic Alu variation, both Ladin samples (Val Gardena and Val Badia) are among the samples with the lowest diversity. An admixture analysis of one German-speaking valley (Val Venosta) indicates a relatively high genetic contribution of Ladin origin. The reduced genetic diversity and a high genetic differentiation in the Rhaetoroman-and German-speaking South Tyrolean populations may constitute an important basis for future medical genetic research and gene mapping studies in South Tyrol.


1/34 2.9% val isarco ,
1/37 2.7% stelvio ( the 1 case in stelvio was rahetian surname)

P.s
Old research but still they used marker sY81 which is equivalent to e1b1a-m2
So they are real
That to me suggest there was some earlier
Migration of e1b1a type might be related
To hannibal journey and some stay behind:unsure:

Direct Paternal line is from the west bank of the Rhine between Cologne and Xanten (a small town called Lank)

Roman Auxiliaries were my thought, Or the Ubii tribe who mixed with the Romans and their capital I believe was Bonn

BTW Thank you so much-

Cologne and Xanten were both important Roman cities and legionary bases during the Roman Empire. In total no less than six legions were stationed in Xanten at one point or another, and two more in Bonn. Legionaries could be recruited anywhere in the empire and, since Caracalla extended citizenship to all free men in the empire in 212, anybody could serve as a legionary, even if they were not of Italian descent.

E1b1a is originally a Sub-Saharan African lineage, but it is found at low frequencies in North Africa, the Levant, Spain, Portugal and South Italy. The most likely scenario is that one of your paternal ancestors in Roman times live in one of these regions and became a legionary. He was stationed along the Rhine and had children, probably with a local woman. Each generation after that married with local women, so that after over 1500 years there is hardly any trace of African autosomal DNA left - only the Y chromosome.
 
The only thing I can think of is a black men early in the history of the US who interbred with a white woman, and his descendance always mated with whites. That's to explain you have such a small amount of African DNA.

And then a male decendant was coupled with your mother.

Spot on (and is most likely the scenario of my E-V22 too....). Xanten was an important place along the Limes (Roman border).

The region little bit south of it even spoke until the middle ages a kind of vulgar Latin:

If that was the case he would have at least a few percent of African autosomal DNA. But he doesn't.
 
arabian e1b1a branches :

P.s
There is a nobel muslim family in jerusalem
( tested with ftdna basic test and turned e1b1a-m2)
Who can trace there line to a companion
The line goes back by geneology all the way to 7th centurey 605AD to medina in saudi- arabia

So that means there was presence of at least some e1b1a-m2 in late antiquity saudi arabia
