R-l47

[Cromdubh]

Up until recently the shortcut to my Haplogroup was R-L48 and that appeared to have plenty of documentation, probably contentious, re possible ethnic origin etc.,
I have been unable to unearth any such information for my new shortcut R-L47, a subclade of L48.
The search of this forum came up with zero.
I would appreciate any suggestion of where to look for this subclade's associations.
Perhaps its too "New" to have any such information available.

R1b-L47 is a fairly large subclade of R1b-L48. It seems to be mainly found among those with British Isles ancestry. However, there are a couple of R1b-L47 members of the R1b-U106 Project with eastern European ancestry. You can see this at http://www.weston-genealogy.net/R_U1...files_L47.html So, without testing of more men who are L48+, it's hard to say how widespread or old your subclade is.

The project website homepage is at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/U106/default.aspx If you haven't joined the R1b-U106 Project yet, please do. Since you've tested U106+, you qualify. You'll be able to compare yourself to other R1b-L47 members of the project and possibly help to contribute more knowledge about your subclade.

To join, log into your FTDNA account. Then click on "Join Projects" in the left column. On the page you're sent to, scroll down to the section for "Y HAPLOGROUP PROJECTS." You'll find the R1b-U106 Project in the section under "R." You'll be asked to provide some information about your paternal line.

Thank you,
I'll follow that up.

Thank you.
I have to admit that i have found that group a little too "cerebral" for my little grey cells, but I'll give it another go!
