Z17911 BigY

 

Does anyone know why I have a 0 SNP difference to Thomas and Bennett and a 2 SNP difference to Merrick on the Big Y?

Hi all,

Here is my version at YFull:



I show a slightly closer match to Bennett than Thomas.

The YTree was last updated January 4th. I'm not sure how often they update it. I'm not sure how it would be updated. As they don't have Pillsbury and Hayes in their database, they won't show that branching.

Thanks for letting us know. I don't see your results yet being considered in the age calculations though. I was really hoping they'd break up this block - they have everything from Z16357 down through the tips of the branches in one big 3000+ year block.

Maybe there's something I'm missing or things you guys see as paying customers, but I sure don't see much value in YFull and their tree certainly leaves much to be desired.

Thanks again to Jared for starting this group, and to Jared and Joel for allthe analysis.

I couldn't figure out how to reply to the topic thread regarding Thomas Goff's results, so I will say here congrats on getting your results and they help each of us in discovering our origins.

Jared,

Would you mind trying to?contact Ben E. Evans (VU8W9)?via ysearch if you haven't done so?already? I?found?noted?that I wrote him last month on Dec. 3 and I've not gotten a response. Maybe you would have success? The "Cunedda or Conan" 1170 - 1230?from whom?he claims descent is likely Cunedda son of Cadwaladr ap Gruffudd. Another source says that this Cunedda was born ca.1142 CE. In either case, not to be confused with the Cunedda ap Edern b.ca.380 CE so-called King of North Wales.

Thanks for checking in. I've been e-mailing Don Gilroy. Maybe hold off on reaching out to Wesley Martin until we get the SNP pack results in from Chuck Martin (he's subscribed to this list). We'll then know Wesley's anticipated terminal SNP and can make a better recommendation for testing.

Thanks,

Looks great, Jared. The Griffin #121779, however, has 19 at DYS458 but that's still a very close match with the ones you included. It would be great if #121779 could be contacted and persuaded to update his results to 37, 67, or 111, or BigY or SNP packs.

NC is where I am currently researching my James Thomas. He is likely the one in Wayne County, NC, 1790, but as of yet I have no place of birth. (Ancestry indexes him as being in Johnston County in 1790, but he is actually on the last page of Wayne county.) He may or may not be related to the other Thomases in the same?county that year. I'm continuing to look for paper trails.

I wrote to several near-matches this afternoon. I hope it will get good results. I also checked my 12-marker near-matches and two of them are?listed as?L513: Riley and "J.E." I?wrote them also. Maybe "J.E." is Evans??? Or maybe not. Hopefully we will find out.

I was only peripherally aware of the SMGF database. It's a bad deal what happened to it. It wasn't an LDS-only project, though they did focus aspects of it to LDS church members because of fairly close family lines and extensive genealogical documentation.

I did not add the #121779 Griffin. I've limited my spreadsheet to those with Y37+ to increase accuracy and decrease bloat. But the #285685 Griffin we do have listed is a 25/25 match with #121779.

I looked to see if the Evans from ySearch is in the Evans FTDNA surname project. He's not, but out of curiosity, I analyzed STRs for all ~200 people in the project who have tested to Y37+. Three are relatively close to our haplotype -?71435, 290595, and?281131. I've added these to the online spreadsheets ().

One thing I look for is people that have a lower GD to those of us lower on the Z16357 branch than Smith at the top - this would suggest they are most likely downstream from Z16357. These men fit this pattern. If you check them out (at the bottom of the GDs spreadsheet), you'll see an interesting pattern. The Evans from ySearch (YS-VU8W9) is a remarkably?close match to almost everyone in the spreadsheet (except the Smiths, etc. at the top)! The three other Evans are more distant, but also about equally matched throughout the spreadsheet. They don't associate closely with some other known surname or SNP cluster like others do.

I'm quite intrigued by this. It could suggest a distinct Evans line that branches off near Z17911. Either way, the ySearch Evans is certainly of high interest to our project - especially if he can trace his line that far back.

Another VERY strong pattern I'm seeing is genealogical ties to North Carolina. The Phillips/Vaughn/Watkins/ Griffin/Evans/etc. people almost all have ties to Northern North Carolina, Virginia, and a few surrounding states. Many list distant ancestors that lived within ~100 miles of each other. I can't see how this could be a coincidence. This may indicate a closely related family or geographical relationship in the British Isles, and then emigration together to this region.

Connecting these lines genealogically could be very valuable for us. I'm hoping to get some more Phillips and Vaughan testers once we get Brent's results.

STR analysis also shows two distinct Vaughn/Vaughan STR groupings with Phillips between them. This *may* suggest that the Phillips branched from the Vaughn/Vaughan line.

HI Jared,

Yes, I would be glad to write the Lewises and Ferneyhough and Dean. I will cc you. Ferneyhough lists Joseph Ferneyhough 1750-1801 as MDKA. Both Ferneyhough and Dean are listed only as R-M269, no trees linked.
I noted that interesting Evans info also, but a few months ago I figured out that the name and dates were askew. I'll look up my notes.
Were you familiar with SMGF, Sorenson Molecular Genealogical Foundation? The database is inaccessible now. It is?LDS and I am not, but a few years ago I was able to search it and found another near-match with an Evans who emigrated from Carmarthen, Wales, to the US in the 1800s. From Kidwelly, I think. I'll have to look for my paper notes on that near-match also, but I think it was a nearer match than with the above Evans.

I've updated the STR and GD spreadsheets. I changed the STR spreadsheet to utilize DYS389b for slightly better accuracy - details at This made some minor changes to the GD spreadsheet.

Charles, do you have any additional details?(ancestor names, terminal SNP, etc.) for?Dean and?Ferneyhough? I don't see them anywhere else, so can't find their STRs to check them.

I did add your Evans and Lewis matches to the spreadsheets. They're close matches to you and the Martyn people, so likely in one of our haplogroups. Of particular interest is that Evans lists his ancestor as being born 1170 in Ireland. I do hope you hear back from him, and perhaps you could contact the Lewis matches as well.

Just to be sure we're on the same page, the two Martyn people?(222341 and 206941) are different than Chuck Martin (161394). Chuck is subscribed to this mailing list and has ordered the SNP pack. We'll know his place on the tree very soon.

The Martyn people?and Martin are GD=9 from each other, so fairly distantly related. But Charles, you're right in the middle of them as far as your STR results go (GD=4 or 5 from each), so it would look to you like they're probably more closely related than they actually are. I was going to wait until Chuck's results come back, then contact the Martyn people to see if they're interested in testing as well.

Hi James,

I was thinking your results might be compared with Joel's and mine and a new branch and new TMRCA estimates be presented at YFull but I don't see it yet. Maybe more is on the way, or maybe not. There is a Novel SNPs button on the left side of the page and then you can download and save the file. I'm attaching my novel SNP file. Maybe there's something interesting in it?that Jared or Joel could find.

(Ancestry indexes him as being in Johnston County in 1790, but he is actually on the last page of Wayne county.) He may or may not be related to the other Thomases in the same?county that year. I'm continuing to look for paper trails.

I wrote to several near-matches this afternoon. I hope it will get good results. I also checked my 12-marker near-matches and two of them are?listed as?L513: Riley and "J.E." I?wrote them also. Maybe "J.E." is Evans??? Or maybe not. Hopefully we will find out.
Later,
Charles

Charles -

I was only peripherally aware of the SMGF database. It's a bad deal what happened to it. It wasn't an LDS-only project, though they did focus aspects of it to LDS church members because of fairly close family lines and extensive genealogical documentation.

I did not add the #121779 Griffin. I've limited my spreadsheet to those with Y37+ to increase accuracy and decrease bloat. But the #285685 Griffin we do have listed is a 25/25 match with #121779.

I looked to see if the Evans from ySearch is in the Evans FTDNA surname project. He's not, but out of curiosity, I analyzed STRs for all ~200 people in the project who have tested to Y37+. Three are relatively close to our haplotype -?71435, 290595, and?281131. I've added these to the online spreadsheets ().

One thing I look for is people that have a lower GD to those of us lower on the Z16357 branch than Smith at the top - this would suggest they are most likely downstream from Z16357. These men fit this pattern. If you check them out (at the bottom of the GDs spreadsheet), you'll see an interesting pattern. The Evans from ySearch (YS-VU8W9) is a remarkably?close match to almost everyone in the spreadsheet (except the Smiths, etc. at the top)! The three other Evans are more distant, but also about equally matched throughout the spreadsheet. They don't associate closely with some other known surname or SNP cluster like others do.

I'm quite intrigued by this. It could suggest a distinct Evans line that branches off near Z17911. Either way, the ySearch Evans is certainly of high interest to our project - especially if he can trace his line that far back.

Another VERY strong pattern I'm seeing is genealogical ties to North Carolina. The Phillips/Vaughn/Watkins/ Griffin/Evans/etc. people almost all have ties to Northern North Carolina, Virginia, and a few surrounding states. Many list distant ancestors that lived within ~100 miles of each other. I can't see how this could be a coincidence. This may indicate a closely related family or geographical relationship in the British Isles, and then emigration together to this region.

Connecting these lines genealogically could be very valuable for us. I'm hoping to get some more Phillips and Vaughan testers once we get Brent's results.

STR analysis also shows two distinct Vaughn/Vaughan STR groupings with Phillips between them. This *may* suggest that the Phillips branched from the Vaughn/Vaughan line.

Charles, do you have any additional details?(ancestor names, terminal SNP, etc.) for?Dean and?Ferneyhough? I don't see them anywhere else, so can't find their STRs to check them.

I did add your Evans and Lewis matches to the spreadsheets. They're close matches to you and the Martyn people, so likely in one of our haplogroups. Of particular interest is that Evans lists his ancestor as being born 1170 in Ireland. I do hope you hear back from him, and perhaps you could contact the Lewis matches as well.

Just to be sure we're on the same page, the two Martyn people?(222341 and 206941) are different than Chuck Martin (161394). Chuck is subscribed to this mailing list and has ordered the SNP pack. We'll know his place on the tree very soon.

HI Jared,

Did you?add Griffin #121779? Only 25 markers listed but 22/25 or 21/25 with me depending on interpretation of 464.

Yes, I would be glad to write the Lewises and Ferneyhough and Dean. I will cc you. Ferneyhough lists Joseph Ferneyhough 1750-1801 as MDKA. Both Ferneyhough and Dean are listed only as R-M269, no trees linked.

I noted that interesting Evans info also, but a few months ago I figured out that the name and dates were askew. I'll look up my notes.

Were you familiar with SMGF, Sorenson Molecular Genealogical Foundation? The database is inaccessible now. It is?LDS and I am not, but a few years ago I was able to search it and found another near-match with an Evans who emigrated from Carmarthen, Wales, to the US in the 1800s. From Kidwelly, I think. I'll have to look for my paper notes on that near-match also, but I think it was a nearer match than with the above Evans.

Charles

Here's another quick update...

I've updated the STR and GD spreadsheets. I changed the STR spreadsheet to utilize DYS389b for slightly better accuracy - details at This made some minor changes to the GD spreadsheet.

Charles, do you have any additional details?(ancestor names, terminal SNP, etc.) for?Dean and?Ferneyhough? I don't see them anywhere else, so can't find their STRs to check them.

I did add your Evans and Lewis matches to the spreadsheets. They're close matches to you and the Martyn people, so likely in one of our haplogroups. Of particular interest is that Evans lists his ancestor as being born 1170 in Ireland. I do hope you hear back from him, and perhaps you could contact the Lewis matches as well.

This gives me some more people to research and add to the spreadsheet. Thanks for letting me know about them. And I hadn't yet explored Ysearch for matches, but will do so. And Mike W. has a new spreadsheet out with more people too. I'll try to get through these this weekend.

Just to be sure we're on the same page, the two Martyn people?(222341 and 206941) are different than Chuck Martin (161394). Chuck is subscribed to this mailing list and has ordered the SNP pack. We'll know his place on the tree very soon.

The Martyn people?and Martin are GD=9 from each other, so fairly distantly related. But Charles, you're right in the middle of them as far as your STR results go (GD=4 or 5 from each), so it would look to you like they're probably more closely related than they actually are. I was going to wait until Chuck's results come back, then contact the Martyn people to see if they're interested in testing as well.

Thanks,

Jared

James -

Here's a long writeup that may be helpful.

STR mutations are passed down from father to son, with a change in an
STR value happening every few generations (more or less). Analyzing
STRs can tell you generally how related two people are. The more STR
values that are the same or very similar, the more closely you are
likely to be related. The more STRs you test, the more accuracy you
get. We've all tested to at least 67 STRs, so we have pretty good
accuracy. But STRs fluctuate a bit and change somewhat regularly (some
more than others), so it's difficult to place an exact timeline or
degree of relationship to the individual mutations.

What Joel is analyzing is the differences between the STRs each of us
have and the most common STR signature (mode values) we all have (or
groups of us have) collectively. The more different someone's STRs are
from the mode values of everyone else in a group, the more distantly
related they likely are. That's what Joel's charts are showing - an
estimation of relationship over time based on STR similarities and
differences.

STR comparisons are what have allowed us to find people that probably
have the R-Z16357 SNP mutation because their tested STRs are very
similar to others that we know are R-Z16357.

SNP mutations generally occur with one specific man and are then
passed down forever to his grandsons. As these distinct mutations are
identified, we can build a tree that shows a history of mutations
(typically one mutation occurs every 100 years or so). Each distinct
mutation is assigned a haplogroup name (e.g., "R-Z16357").

Big-Y testing identifies lots of SNPs - some shared with others and
some that only that Big-Y tester has (called 'private' SNPs).

The difficulty with SNPs is that it takes at least two people getting
positive tests for a particular SNP to verify that it came from a
common ancestor - and to start to assign a timeline to when that
mutation occurred. If an SNP isn't shared among relatives (it's a
private SNP), then it doesn't tell us anything particularly useful (at
least initially until perhaps someone else tests positive for it then
it is no longer private to only one person).

Merrick was identified as having the BY11565 private SNP - nobody else
had yet tested positive for it. Goff's test results just show that he
has the same BY11565 SNP. So this verifies that it came from a common
ancestor and isn't a very recent, private SNP at all. Because BY11565
is shared by only Goff and Merrick, but BY11573 is shared by Bennett,
Thomas, Goff, and Merrick, we thus know that BY11565 is more recent
than BY11573 - a Goff/Merrick ancestor formed this mutation, but not a
Bennett/Thomas/Goff/Merrick ancestor.

Because BY11565 is the most unique, yet also shared SNP they have,
this is their new terminal SNP (the word "terminal" being used a bit
loosely because it can change).

As another example, Joel Hartley has a current terminal SNP of Z17911.
He has also tested positive for the (currently) private A11130 SNP
that nobody else has yet tested positive for. So we know A11130 is
younger than Z17911, otherwise others of us would have it too. We just
don't know how much younger it is.

To try to 'prove' an SNP as being from a common ancestor, you want to
test the most distantly related person you can find that shares that
known or potential male-line ancestor. If Joel's brother tests
A11130+, this would tell us nothing new because A11130 may have
occurred at their father. If his 7th cousin tests A11130+, then we
would know the SNP is at least as old as their 6th great-grandfather
(and younger than Z17911).

So, the goal of our project is to identify distantly related cousins
(based on surnames, genealogies, and/or STR relationships) to try to
both identify (via Big-Y) and 'prove' (via Big-Y or other SNP tests)
younger and younger SNPs/branches. Each new shared SNP/branch moves us
closer to present day.

Eventually our tree will have a whole suite of shared SNPs identified.
If someone is an STR and/or surname match to someone else in our
group, an inexpensive SNP test could then establish exactly how they
connect to our tree on that line, and thus the rest of humanity. This
is the end goal - and we're making good progress toward getting there.

Interesting! But over my head for most of it. Any good links to STR and SNP for Dummies?

Tnx, james
