mtDNA I4 Haplogroup

Father/Son FF testing

One generation in this case would give you 8 more different variables (gr-gr-gr grandparents that married into the family) on your paternal side if your father tested. But at that level it is much more difficult to find a connection.

YDNA results

There are many different ways to look at having a small or large number of matches.

Lower levels do not mean squat for the most part. 12 marker matches will give you no discernible data at all. 25 marker matches might give some idea of nationality origins and...

Egregious error...



Apologies about the outrageous and offensive typo. Thank you for bring this horrific mistake to my attention.

Y at GenBank?

I submitted my mtDNA full sequence via new submission instructions. I wondered if they have a Y counterpart or is it a mtDNA study only?

Anyone have any maternal connections to Eastern/Central Europe?

The description of this group is extremely vague. Anyone have any information on it besides the .pdf and wikipedia?

Why are some 14/14's under need Kittler testing? Is there something just released to say otherwise?

Calling all Pruitts, Pruetts, and Prewitts and all other possible variations. There is a good open admission group on Ancestry site that are sharing a great deal of information about each other's trees, DNA, stories and pictures about the clan....

Finland



I will have to check out the Finland DNA project to see if he matches up closely. The DYS640=12 is so infrequent it is definitely worth following up on in the I1/I1d group.

I am still waiting on my autosomal test to come back, FTDNA results have...

Paternal of Origin



My Paternal Country of Origin is England around the beginning of the 17th century. The question is: at what time did my paternal line leave the southern Scandinavian area? I know that is a difficult one to answer, maybe in the future the DNA tests will...

Specifics

The FTDNA page for country of origin is not useful. The results draw no conclusion...and if they did then it would be where an individual thinks their most recent ancestor is from. On the 12 marker, I got Scandinavia area (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland)...any...

This is email I sent on rootsweb and I was wondering if anyone in the group had DYS640 = 12? Considering its rarity, I would like to explore it further if possible.

I1d's

There are those distinct differences that split the groups into uN or N subgroups. When looking at different results whether it be Nordtvedt's or anyone else's tables, there is an overall pattern that does split the groups. Obviously there are some transitional groups...maybe the...

After review...

After looking at the Excel worksheet concerning I1d and the different weight of each DYS, I can see it is very clear I am I1d Norse. According to his .ppt, the estimated age is 3000 years which other more specific branches sprouted from.

I am still left...

I1d

I was tested for L22 and P109 (L22+ P109-). My Y was DYS511=10, & DYS390=23, but the test did not cover DYS462.

What I can conclude from all of the testing is the Norse designation. I was aware of the Scandinavian connection to I1d. Norse designation is non-specific...
