Genetic results from a new paper, Continental Connections Transformed the Genetics and Appearance of Early Medieval England, were released before publication. Here is a link to the genomic data and an abstract from the paper at ENA. Nicely, a person…
Last year, in a post, I processed some autosomal and Y DNA points of interest in my wife’s family. A total lack of thruline ancestor matches with her paternal surname family, strong matches with more distant cousins on a maternal…
For reference we’re talking about DNA samples from a preprint released about a year ago: In a previous post I left notes about a new branch for the R-CTS12023/DF95 crew and it’s not a new descendant branch, but a…
For reference, the Y DNA reads I’m talking about are from this study which recently released BAM files, which Ewenn at the U106 group was able to analyze for subclades: Notes on R-Z18 in Steppe Ancestry Pre-print The study left…
Every so often, I poke around at my wife’s family tree and genetic genealogy. She has the average amount of interest in genealogy that I see in my circles. Her family story is interesting enough to watch an episode here…
Things to get right out of the way: 1. I will reference an unpublished draft work that has not been peer-reviewed. So, although the author is way better at math, probabilities, and genetics than I am, this work reflects them…
These are my notes from the pre-print Steppe Ancestry in western Eurasia and the spread of the Germanic Languages. It hasn’t been peer-reviewed. This is, at it’s heart, an autosomal study, but it does contain some Y-DNA information. They’re trying…
We’re also looking for Ellmers, Almers, Ailmers and other varieties we haven’t thought of. Are there Olmers? I’m sure I’m missing a bunch of ways to spell it. We Want YOU to test your Y DNA We’re trying to connect…
One of the things I haven’t been sure how to approach is the tangle of time, movement, location and relatedness presented in these genetic studies of ancient and modern people. As usual, conversations with my genetic cousins have helped me…
Continuing with “Whole genome analysis sheds light on the genetic origin of Huns, Avars and conquering Hungarians.” which seems to overlap with this article that I’ve also been referencing: “The genetic origin of Huns, Avars, and conquering Hungarians.” I’m posting…
