From Eider to Normandy to Scotland
The authors Anna Szécsényi-Nagy, Guido Brandt, Victoria Keerl, et al do not mention Scotland and Ireland of what I can see in the report about one I1.Originally posted by 1798 View Post
They have studied LBK - and LBKT, which means “Linear Band Keramik culture in Transdanubia” where Transdanubia is a geographical term referring to the area of Hungary which lies between the Danube and the western borders of Hungary.
“The two investigated LBKT-samples carry G2a2b (S126) and I1 (M253). LBK reached central Germany around 5500 BC. In the following 500 years the LBK continually expanded, eventually covering a vast geographic area from the Paris Basin to Ukraine in its latest phase and persisted in Transdanubia until ca 4900 BC”, they tell.

Two months ago I didn’t know that Gordon and many other Scottish Clans once came from Normandy to Scotland. Now I can read about them. I think most of their forefathers came by boat along the coastline to Normandy and that they before that used the river Eider as a road through the Jutland peninsula whatever being Viking raiders or sellers of eiderdown.
Could be an idea. Maybe I have too much focus on sabotage, bu yet I haven’t seen any claim coming my way. At this moment I am waiting for an upgrade to see and conclude what will happen to my success story.Aperipatetic1 wrote: I would urge you to be critical of any and all claims that come your way.Comment

Waves into the British Isles from 410 to 1200
The first I1 at the latest came to the Isles when the Romans - those from Rome - left ca. 410, and you know that.Originally posted by 1798 View Post
But they are not issue for me here. I don't guess they are my direct ancestors.
After the Gordon-things I now think my biological ancestor belonged to a much later wave.Comment

That's the catch: the Roman legions pulled out of Britain, but they didn't take all the intermarried families with them. The same goes for the region of Britain that comprised the Danelaw afterwards. Even after the political/military establishment was pulled out, a good chunk of population was left behind.Originally posted by Yde View Post
Then there are the Gall-Ghàidheil of Galloway, and the Norse settlers of the Hebrides, and the Shetland and Orkney Islands ... and even the Normans would have included some non-R1b folk.
On the other hand, I don't think there's any question that Great Britain and Ireland were occupied before the Celtic tribes arrived. It's *possible* that only the matrilineal lines survived to the present, but that doesn't seem to be the pattern seen from subsequent arrivals.
Later than Roman, probably. Beyond that, ???Originally posted by Yde View Post
One of the reasons I'm willing to consider a subset of Gordons with a "Norse/Scandinavian" haplotype is that my own clan includes a long-standing Shetland/Orkney branch. That the majority of folks tested appear to belong to an R1b Borders group doesn't change that in the slightest. Plus, some of the Gordons have a history of being non-conformist.Comment

the first I1 in Britain?
"The first I1 at the latest came to the Isles when the Romans - those from Rome - left ca. 410, and you know that."
Comment by derinos:
European I1 had been moving north and west since about 5000 YBP as shown by recent ancient DNA samples, and the Doggerland route allowed walking to Britain.
As to ROME, that year 410 AD was not the date when "the people from Rome" departed from Britain. It was the year when Britain was finally declared no longer a Province of Rome, no longer entitled to defence by Rome.
Very few ethnic Romans had ever dwelt in Britain. The contents of the legionary cemeteries show that they were mainly recruited in the Balkans or Spain, or from Celts of Britain or Gaul.
By 410 AD least three major expeditionary depletions of the British garrisons, were marched into Europe by colonial Imperators attempting to gain the throne of Rome. The most notable was that of Emperor Constantine, ca 300 AD. He was successful, but did his share to deplete Britain of warriors to later oppose greater Germanic and Nordic immigration. More I1 DNA, but not the first.Comment

10 out of 11 of my 67-matches are Gordon
I have now received my 67-update.
There are 11 matches on this level of which 10 are the name Gordon. 3 of these 10 are 61/67 and 7 are 60/67.
Of the 61/67-matches the three participants report, that their most distant ancestors were respectively John Gordon, born c 1813, and Samuel Gordon, born c 1740 and possibly in Kirkmabreck in Scotland, while the third gives no information of the most distant ancestor.
The ftdna TiP-calculator explains that since the two mentioned Gordons and Yde did not share a common ancestor in the last 14 generations the probability that Gordon and Yde shared a common ancestor within the last 16 generations is 45,84% and in the last 18 generations it is 66,44%. Within the last 20 generations the probability is 80,15% and then we are back around the year 1330 AD.
I would say that this supports my conclusion, that the first Yde was born in 1506 on Vilsund Strand in Denmark by a woman of gypsy/roma origin and that the father was a man in Scotland named Gordon. Maybe he was a nice captain on the ship sailing from Edinburgh to Aalborg or maybe he was a bad man in the city. One can only imagine.
= = = = =
The 11th match is a 64/67, a descendant of men in Hellevad, a parish 25 km northeast of Aalborg, and a descendant of an immigrant Peterson to the United States in 1872.
The TiP-calculator says that if he and I do not share a common ancestor in the last 4 generations the probability of a shared common ancestor within the last 8 generations is 63,38% and within the last 14 generations it is no less than 94,82% and then we are back around 1506.
Peterson kindly told me in a letter, that I am his only 37-match. He only has 3 Gordon in his 25-match out of 82 total matches . He thinks if our most recent common ancestor was from the first Yde (1506-?) or later, we would see similar Gordon results in his 25-match.
So the case is not closed.Comment

The common ancestor could be before the origin of surnames.Originally posted by Yde View PostComment

The case is not closed, but nothing in the case you present confirms or even hints at the scenario you describe, to be perfectly blunt and direct. There is not a precise, exacting means to define how near or remote a match is in time, based off of STR variation or mutations. A father can have a 3 or 4 repeat mismatch from his own biological son, and his brothers son can be a perfect match. One generation later it can mutate right back.. You are likely relying on promises that cannot actually deliver what they claim to be able to offer.Originally posted by Yde View Post
You are back exactly where I told you that you would be initially.. which is that the Gordon line males are a near match to your STR's, but your STR's have no indication of being contributed by a 'Gordon' surnamed male. Since they are Isles based I1, their paternal ancestor most probably originated from someplace in the Scandinavian Penninsula or Denmark. Thus, like I suggested before, you could potentially be related paternally, but through a 'stay-behind' paternal line.
A lot more members of this paternal line likely remained in one of the Scandinavian nations that the Gordon ancestor originated in than moved to the British Isles, and the most likely explanation for finding matches in Denmark to a Scotland-based Hg I1 family would be that this family that spread from Denmark to the Isles still has a paternal line presence in its place of origin.
The notion of a back migration from Scotland by a Gordon male is not substantiated by the evidence, and its not needed even if you treat the genetic mismatch at 67 markers with the greatest significance. What is known is that the Gordon males all share a common ancestor, and a similar Ht to you, however you do not have any documentation or evidence that your paternal lines diverged from a particular line, or that your ancestor had any knowledge of the existence of the Gordon family.
Given that your matches include Danish origin matches at a higher resolution STR panel (Aalborg)and we know that this person has no known relation to Scotland, Gordons, etc.. this STR Ht is present in modern Danes, and is probably the source location, not the reverse migration destination, of the Gordon line. Its not impossible that over generations members of this family made repeated trips back to say.. Denmark, however at this point its 'Chicken or the Egg' and you dont have any proof of a reverse migration but have certain knowledge that your STR Ht is present in Danes who have no ties to the Gordons or to Scotland.Last edited by Aperipatetic1; 23 October 2014, 11:12 PM.Comment

64/67: shown to be a common forefather Yde born 1706
My closest match is a 64/67, who is a descendant of a man Peterson born 1841 in Hellevad, a parish 25 km northeast of Aalborg, Denmark.
Now the missing link of information is found.
In the year 1840 Peterson’s mother lived in a house with two men named Yde!
Niels Peter Pedersen/Peterson was born 28 Sep 1841 in Hellevad by Else Sørensdatter (1818-1890). She lived in Klokkerholm Mill in 1840 and so did Yde Sr. and his son Yde Jr.
Yde is wrongly written Eÿde or Eyde in papers around 1840.
I have told this to Mr. Peterson in the States who explains: “Else got engaged to Peder Kristian Nielsen on 23 Oct 1841 and married on 18 Nov 1841. He is listed as the father on all the records that I know of. I have to wonder if he knew he wasn’t the father and I have to wonder if the father is Nikolaj Yde or is it his father Johan Frederik Yde?”.
Now Peterson and I have Monsieur Jens Madsen Yde and Mademoiselle Friderica Schmidt as most recent common ancestors.
Jens Madsen Yde (1706-1781) ~ Friderica Schmidt
Mads Jensen Yde (1739-1808) ~ Ide Kirstine Mathiasdatter Wagaard
Mathias Wagaard Yde (1769-1801) ~ Sophie Cathrine Mathiesdatter
Johan Frederik Mathiasen Yde (1792-1879) ~ Mette Kirstine Brandt
Nikolaj Mathias Bartholin Yde (1818-1856) ~ Ellen Marie Frederiksdatter
The two last mentioned, J. F. Yde and N.M.B. Yde, lived in Klokkerholm Mølle/Mill in Hellevad Parish. The mill stood 300-400 meters north of Hellevad Church. One of them was the father of Niels Peter Pedersen and furthermore they each fathered at least one child out of wedlock.
Farmer and miller J. F. Yde from Klokkerholm Mill fathered with Ane Kirstine Jespersdatter a boy Jens (Yde) Frederiksen born 19. October 1839 in Hellevad, who in the years 1861-1879 fathered nine children with the surname Jensen.
N. M. B. Yde from Klokkerholm Mill got a child Johan Frederik Yde on 25 March 1842 with Ellen Marie Frederiksdatter. The two later got married and c. 15 years after the man suddenly died in 1856, Ellen Marie and three sons emigrated to United States, where they took the surname Brandt because Yde was too difficult to pronounce in the States.

I myself have 11 matches on the 67-level. 10 have the name Gordon and none of these do not yet show to have a known common ancestor .
Of 318 25-matches I have counted this: Gordon 53, (“it is possible that the Scottish surname Gordon originated from a place name in Normandy, France, and was brought over to Scotland, where it gave rise to the place name in Berwickshire”), Daniel 17 (a sept of clan Donald; or “the surname Daniel is of Norman origin and many with this surname are descended from Roger Daniel who came from in Bayeux in Normandy”), Allison 12 (a sept of clan MacAllister; or “Leonard Allison Morrison states in his History of the Allison family that the family name Allison is interchangeable with Alençon, a family branch being schisms of the Counts and Dukes of Alençon, in Normandy), Compton 11, Wise 9 (all 9 are 24/25 and probably descendants of James Wise, born 1781), Carter 9, Cobb 7 (a sept of clan Lindsay), Parrott 6 (maybe of Pierre, from Normandy). There are in all 73 24/25-matches, but they give no clear picture except “British”.
Peterson has me as his only 37- and 67-level match, and Peterson only has 85 25-level matches of which: Wise 9, Compton 6, Cobb 5, Gordon 4, King 3, Lane 3.
Both Peterson and Yde are wondering why Peterson has so few Gordon (4) and Yde has so many (53).
Here is a calculator that shows that the surnames Gordon, Daniel, Cobb and Parrott around 1850 heavily inhabited Aberdeenshire and bordering counties in Scotland and North Yorkshire with Richmond in England.
On this link you can search surnames in Denmark and see where each surname is most common.
I can only see the arrow is pointing almost 100 percent towards Scotland and Normandy in searching for ancestors of Yde from Vilsund Strand, born 1506, plus “an unknown but quite high number of percent” towards an ancestor in clan Gordon who lived in 1505.
How many Gordon-matches do a Gordon actually have on different levels?
Do experts use the above mentioned kind of information in calculating STR-markers having faster or slower mutation rates?
Both Peterson and I are willing to take further tests, but we don’t know which and maybe no test will help us any further?Comment

I know I am late to this discussion, but the Gordon surname is known to me as being a surname known to the Scottish Romanichal Gypsy clan.
Author; David Dobson wrote a book about Scottish convicts being transported to the American Colonies which I think is available on the Ancestry.com web site if you are a member of that site. Anyways one of convicts named by David Dobson was a Gordon identified as a Gypsy having been transported to the American Colonies.
There are around a dozen such entries in that book that identifies multiple Scottish Romanichal Gypsies having been transported. Off the top of my head if I recall correctly the book named the following surnames as Gypsies being transported as convicts; Bailey / Ballie, Gordon, Faa, among a few others.
Now was Gordon paternal ancestry Scottish or Romani Gypsy? I do not know the answer to that, but it certainly appears there is one Gordon branch of Scotland with Romani blood ties.
Of the Scottish Romani Gypsy surnames are as follows;
Bailey / Ballie, Faa, Blyth, Young, Gordon, Campbell to name a few of their surnames.
I can say that of those specific surnames, men of the Bailey and Campbell surnames in the USA have been Y DNA tested, both confirmed to be in
Y Haplogroup H1a - M82

Yde, have you done the Family Finder DNA test? If not that is a test you might consider doing one day because I know of multiple British Romanies whom have been Y DNA tested, mtDNA tested and Family Finder DNA tested.
It is a real possibility that if you have done the FF test, that you may have British Romani matches and not be aware of it because you may not know what their surnames are yet.
Of the British Romanies, they carry the following surnames, not a complete list by any means. Lock / Locke, Boswell, Stanley, Lee, Cooper, Gray, Burton, Ingram, Ayres, Smith, to name a few of their surnames.
Even though your connection is a very old kinship, it is a possibility you have Romani FF matches and not even know it unless you understand all their surnames.
The only Scottish Romanies that I know of whom have been involved in DNA testing are the Bailey and Campbell family's of the USA, who's ancestors were transported as convicts.Comment

I am not personally a customer of FTDNA for Y, so I am asking this as a clarification.. what are you considering a 'match' at the 67 STR level? From my understanding, you actually have no exact matches at the 67 STR level. I am not asserting that the following is what you are doing, because I do not know, however it would be incorrect in my opinion to try to 'hold' the top 10 match slots for 'Gordon' testees.Originally posted by Yde View Post
The reason is, you know with virtual certainty that all are representative of ONE singular paternal line descendency, and thus all would cumulatively account for only one paternal line match, no matter how many of them have been tested. It would be fair to at least for comparison purposes average their repeat mismatch to attempt to best deduce a ancestral Ht, but it still only counts for one line.
I would be careful not to fill the top slots with 'Gordons' to the exclusion of close matches who are not 'Gordons' because there could be a skewing side effect if you inadvertently treat each individual testee, who are all of a mutual common line, as separate 'matches'.
Like I said several posts ago, the database is probably quite skewed toward Isles, Colonial, Scots, and Ulster origin testees, since this sort of test is particularly popular with Americans, and particularly so with early Colonial migrants because they cannot simply look at a modern census forms, steamship passenger lists, or retained Ellis Island records that are fairly easily accessible for most later immigrants. Fairly as well, a lot of people from Denmark and Norway settled in the British Isles over a long period of time. Well into the industrial age, England was a prime destination for Swedes and Norwegians seeking non-farm, industrial, or manufacturing jobs.Of 318 25-matches I have counted this: Gordon 53, Daniel 17 Allison 12, Compton 11, Wise 9 Carter 9, Cobb 7, Parrott 6 There are in all 73 24/25-matches, but they give no clear picture except “British”.
Peterson has me as his only 37- and 67-level match, and Peterson only has 85 25-level matches of which: Wise 9, Compton 6, Cobb 5, Gordon 4, King 3, Lane 3.
Both Peterson and Yde are wondering why Peterson has so few Gordon (4) and Yde has so many (53).
If you skewed a database with lots of Poles or lots of Italians, you would still have close I1 matches in those population groups too. Petersen could be closer to the ancestral paternal Ht, and your STR's could have diverged away from his, mimicking the values that are modal for the Gordon line. Conversely, his repeats could have mutated away from the ancestral Ht, while yours did not.
Maybe if this region is rural and fairly un-impacted by mass migrations, you can convince others in this locality to test, and assess how homogeneous the overall Hg environment is in this area. In any area controlled at a early time by a strong man ruler, or his offspring, a lot of lines are going to follow the 'Genghis model' in which his descendency is prolific and magnified. I would not be surprised to find this in a society or regional kingdom / fiefdom evolved from circa Dark-Ages Denmark.
There is a commonly noted truism along the lines of "when you go looking for something, you will always find exactly what you went looking for."I can only see the arrow is pointing almost 100 percent towards Scotland and Normandy in searching for ancestors of Yde from Vilsund Strand, born 1506, plus “an unknown but quite high number of percent” towards an ancestor in clan Gordon who lived in 1505.
Alternately, quoting Bill Pullman from Zero Effect-
"Now, a few words on looking for things. When you go looking for something specific, your chances of finding it are very bad. Because of all the things in the world, you're only looking for one of them. When you go looking for anything at all, your chances of finding it are very good. Because of all the things in the world, you're sure to find some of them."
What you say is certainly not impossible, and it could even by true, but I would encourage you to look at all possibilities instead of focusing on only confirming the one.Comment

If any of you suspect Gypsy/Roma/Tzigana/Zigeuner in your own DNA, then it might be amusing to take an autosomal test at Ancestry.com. As for myself, they give me 98% western European (broken down further), 1% Caucasus, and "<1%" South Asian! That South Asian could somehow be Gypsy, or it could be directly from India in colonial times via British or Portuguese. I'm just speculating. My known tree does not have any known Gypsy or South Asian, so it must be from a long time ago.Comment
