Genetic studies

Ethnicity

Genetic ethnicity is determined by comparing a DNA sample to an ethnicity database containing a comprehensive world-wide collection of DNA samples. The markers in the DNA may reveal ethnicities that go back hundreds or thousands of years. This method of analysis will not necessarily produce a result that matches a person's known genealogical history.

According to AncestryDNA, the genetic ethnicity of this user is as follows:

  • England & Northwestern Europe 39% (range 37%–42%)—primarily located in England; also found in Belgium, Channel Islands, Denmark, Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Isle of Man, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Wales. The history of Britain, the heart of our England and Wales region, is often presented as one group of invaders after another displacing the native population. The Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and Normans all left their mark on Britain both politically and culturally. However, the story of Britain is far more complex. In fact, modern studies suggest the earliest populations weren’t wiped out, but adapted and absorbed the new arrivals.
  • Germanic Europe 37% (range 32%–68%)—primarily located in Germany; also found in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, France, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The dramatic landscape of our Germanic Europe region rises from Dutch and German lowlands along the North Sea through forested uplands to the Austria’s Alps in the south. The German people were united by language and culture before Germany became a united country in 1871. Known as Das Land der Dichter und Denker (“the land of poets and thinkers”), Germany is home to some of the oldest universities in the world, and this region has a long tradition of producing world-class scientists, inventors, theologians, artists, and composers.
  • Scotland 7% (range 0%–7%)—primarily located in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Occupying roughly the northern third of the island of Great Britain and numerous smaller islands surrounding the country’s rugged coastline, our Scotland population region is known for its geographical beauty, medieval architecture, and folklore.
  • Ireland 7% (range 0%–10%)—primarily located in Ireland. Our Ireland population region is centered on this small island famed for its emerald-green landscape, vibrant Celtic folklore, and deep-rooted spirit of hospitality. The region’s Celtic heritage is notable in its culture, landscape, and the lyrical dialects of the Irish language spoken here.
  • Wales 6% (range 0%–12%)—primarily located in Wales. The rolling hills and steep cliffs bounded by England to the east and 870 miles of coastline on the north, west, and south make up our Wales population region—or Cymru in Welsh, which is still spoken there. First settled by Celtic tribes, the country’s ancient and medieval history has been preserved and woven into a modern sense of Welsh identity and pride, which is still visible in the country’s 600 castles, its Welsh-language media, and its Eistedfoddau, festivals that celebrate Wales’s long tradition of literature, poetry, and music.
  • Sweden 2% (range 0%–6%)—primarily located in Sweden. With its rocky coastline, wooded uplands, and subarctic, mountainous terrain, our Sweden region emerged from glacial ice as a rugged land of lakes and islands. The Swedish people share a common Norse heritage with Norway and, especially, Denmark that includes language, religion, and art, but they eventually developed a culture of their own. Situated north of the Baltic Sea, geographic isolation from conflicts raging on the European continent did not stop the Swedes from influencing the culture, trade, and politics of regions from the Volga River to Byzantium.
  • Norway 2% (range 0%–4%)—primarily located in Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Norway. The earliest inhabitants of our Norway region were strong, seafaring peoples. For centuries, hunter-gatherers slowly pushed north across the Baltic Sea, probing coastal fjords and inland stretches for arable land as ice melted off the untamed region. While Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes all share a common Norse heritage, over time, Norway’s resilient coastal communities evolved into a nation known for its seamanship, technology, artistry, and mythology.

Some ancestors were members of the following community:

  • Pennsylvania, Ohio & Indiana Settlers, specifically the Pennsylvania Dutch Country Settlers—English Quakers founded Pennsylvania as a bastion of religious freedom and tolerance. Thousands of German and Swiss Mennonites, Anabaptists, Anglicans, and Scottish Presbyterians followed, drawn by the promise of religious freedom—and acres of rich, available farmland. Their industry and success raised Pennsylvania to prominence among the American colonies. Their soldiers helped ensure a Union victory in the Civil War, and they went on to leave their indelible stamp on the settling and culture of the American Midwest.

Y-DNA

Y-chromosome DNA tests can be used by people interested in their ancient ancestry and prehistoric migrations. Haplogroups and their subclades (branches) mark human migrations. Some Y-DNA subbranch markers, SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), are restricted to a single family that is related in genealogical times (1 to 15 generations), and other SNPs are slightly older. However, both of those types of SNPs are uncommon.

According to Family Tree DNA, this user is a member of haplogroup R1b1a2-M269 (confirmed).

European R1b is dominated by SNP marker M269. The frequency of this clade is highest in parts of northern and western England, Spain, Portugal, Wales and Ireland. This clade may have arrived in Europe about 4,000 to a maximum of about 10,000 years ago, migrating from Western Asia via southeastern Europe.[1] R1b is one of the main subgroups of haplogroup R1. The origins of R1 remain unclear. It has been suggested the origin for R1 lies to the east of the Middle East, possibly in south or central Asia.[2] It may have arisen about 18,500 years ago. The parent haplogroup R is very common throughout Europe, Central Asia and South Asia, and also common in parts of the Middle East and Africa. This haplogroup is believed to have arisen around 20,000-34,000 years ago, somewhere in Central Asia or South Asia. Haplogroup R one of the two branches of the mega-haplogroup P.[3]

Haplogroup P contains the patrilineal ancestors of most Europeans, almost all of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, and approximately one third to two thirds of the males among various populations of Central Asia and Southern Asia. It is believed to have arisen north of the Hindu Kush, in Siberia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, or along the Silk Road in the region of Xinjiang, Gansu, or Ningxia, before being pressed North, approximately 35,000 years ago. An alternate postulated theory supported by Gansu, Ningxia is that this group moved along the opposite side of the Tibetan plateau along the Sichuan Mountains, before taking the silk route and Bering land bridge. The climate was much different and would have supported more life and grasslands in Tarim Basin, Mongolia, and Manchuria.[4]

Macro-haplogroup K, an ancestor of P, was established approximately 40,000-50,000 years ago and probably originated in Southwestern Asia or South Asia.[5] Its ancestor, haplogroup F, is a very common Y-chromosome haplogroup spanning all the continents. This haplogroup and its subclades contain more than 90% of the world's existing non-African male population. This suggests that its ancestral C-F chromosome may have been carried out of Africa very early in the modern human diaspora, and F may have appeared 38,700-55,700 years ago, probably in Eurasia. The presence of several subclusters of F and K that are largely restricted to the Indian subcontinent is consistent with the scenario that a coastal (southern route) of early human migration out of Africa carried ancestral Eurasian lineages first to the coast of the Indian subcontinent, or that some of them originated there. Other sources mention that this ancient haplogroup may have first appeared in North Africa, the Levant, or the Arabian Peninsula as much as 50,000 years ago. All of Haplogroup F's descendant haplogroups also show a pattern of radiation from South Asia or the Middle East. Several lineages derived from Haplogroup F appear to have migrated into Africa from a homeland in Southwest Asia sometime during prehistory.[6]
