23 SNPs resolved thanks to a single Big Y: updated I-S2703 tree

Click here to see our January 10, 2018 tree for I-S2703

You will see two updates highlighted in red:

1) There is a third Big Y for the I-FGC8393 branch, I think they probably all have English paternal ancestry ultimately. Based on two results, YFull calculates that the common ancestor lived 750 years ago. The third result has 15 unique novel variants, which probably means the common ancestor lived even longer ago.

Two of the three results share the A20029 SNP and these two are slightly closer relatives. This SNP is unsuitable for individual testing

2) Until now there was large block of 23 SNPs shared by all members of the "Isles-B1" group. The common ancestor lived 1200 years ago according to YFull's estimate, and known members live in the US, Canada and England.

Now we have a Big Y result for a Swedish-American man. He is derived for 16 of the 23 SNPs, but he is ancestral for 7 others. He has 25 unique novel variants, so he is very distantly related to the English branch.

There are only few known members of I-L161 with paternal origin from outside Great Britain and Ireland (more precisely, the British/Irish haplogroup is I-S2639, which is slightly more specific than I-L161). But when we see I-S2639 men with continental European ancestry, they often are S2703+ S2742+, like the Swedish-American man. (These other European men haven't done Big Y or extensive SNP testing).

A third Big Y for Isles-D3: updated I-Y3723 tree

Click here to download our January 10, 2018 draft tree for I-Y3723 (this is the largest branch of I-L161 "Isles", and especially typical of Ireland and Britain).

There is one new sample shown in red: a third Big Y for Isles-D3. At this point we can't resolve the relationships between the three Big Ys. Maybe his VCF or BAM file will give us more information.

There is another Big Y test in progress for I-Y3723.

Four updates to I-L233 tree

Click here to download our January 10, 2018 tree for I-L233 "Western"

There are four updates, shown in red:

An American man whose country of origin is unknown (German or Irish?) belongs to I-A7111 and shares a variant with a Polish-American man: 20072181 T to G. However, this variant occurs in a repeat region and it's considered unreliable for phylogeny.

A new Big Y result is FGC56815+ and additionally shares the FGC56855 SNP with a previous Big Y.

On our previous tree we introduced the I-A19384 branch, containing three samples. On this tree we show that two of the samples are additionally Y82374+ and Y90935+. One of these men is Scottish/Irish-American and the other is French Canadian.

Finally we show a third result in the I-F25958 branch, and a more specific I-Y96354 branch. All three men likely have ultimate paternal ancestry from Scotland, and they have two different surnames. The results for Y96354 indicate that one surname is maybe a descendant of the other, with a name change at some point. But the younger surname is not very young--the man who did Big Y has multiple STR marker matches with men of his own surname, representing different immigrant ancestors to the US/Canada.

I-PF4135* result (updated I-Y12072 draft tree)

Click here to download our January 10 draft tree for I-Y12072 (Isles-A)

There are three main branches in the I-PF4135 haplogroup. But a new Big Y result doesn't belong to any of these branches: he has Y11772-, A11374- and A13665-, Y31631- results. He has paternal ancestry from south County Tipperary, Ireland which is near County Cork. I-Y11772, I-A11374 and I-A13665 (I-Y31631) all contain men with County Cork ancestry.

This tree also shows two new Big Y results for the very old Driscoll family: one is I-Y13664* and the other is I-A14359*.

All of the updates are highlighted in red.

Minor update to I-L160 tree

There is one small change, indicated in red: we have corrected the Y chromosome position for Z27034
