Comment by Charles Robert Warthen on July 18, 2009 at 2:49pm: Hi Ruth, I am a R1b1b2a1b5, Charles Warthen, I wonder if we checked our Y-DNA to see how many matches we might have. In short L21

Comment by Ruth on July 18, 2009 at 10:03am: Hi,
My husband's haplogroup is R1b1b2a1b5-FTDNA, Rodriguez surname from Puerto Rico. We have not been able to find any of his ancestors from outside of the Island.

Comment by Charles Robert Warthen on July 15, 2009 at 7:23pm: I miss informed you on my coment it is L=21 not r-21 for my haplogroup test. There are more to come but this is far as it goes today. I will have more to report later

Comment by John Noble on July 15, 2009 at 1:38pm: I am Y-DNA Haplogroup: R1b1b2*- M269 - Surname Noble - orginating from County Fermangh to Ontario Canada

Comment by Donald W. Moore, CG on July 15, 2009 at 1:26pm: Blaine, yes there is a Moore DNA project and I am a member. Just ordered a 37->67 marker upgrade from FamilyTreeDNA.

Trevor, I am registered witt YSearch and Ancestry.

Thanks to both for the suggestions.

Don

Comment by Charles Robert Warthen on July 15, 2009 at 12:13am: My name is Charles Robert WARTHEN and I am pos for r-21 which gives me a R1b1b2a1b5*. I am interested as to where this will lead us to. Charlie

Comment by Dusty Rhoades on July 14, 2009 at 2:36pm: I am Y-DNA Haplogroup: R-M207 Subgroup: R1b1b2*-M269. I was tested by GeneTree. Surname should be BOLTON. My farthest back point on that direct line puts me in Virginia in mid 1700s. From there it is said to have come from England or Germany. Researching to find out!

Comment by Debbie Kennett on July 14, 2009 at 6:11am: Hi Samantha, You can get a reduced rate from FTDNA if you've tested elsewhere. I'll send you the form. The subclades give you a lot more precision about your deep ancestry. My dad is now R1b1b2a1a4, which arose just a few thousand years ago. As more people take the advanced tests we start to learn more about the origins of all these subclades. It's currently a very exciting field!

Comment by Samantha John on July 14, 2009 at 3:18am: Thanks Debbie, I will see if I can get him to spit again, lol!

Comment by Debbie Kennett on July 14, 2009 at 2:51am: Samantha, I presume your brother tested with Ancestry. Unfortunately Ancestry only provide the three basic tests and don't offer any of the advanced tests. If your brother wants to know his subclade he would have to retest elsewhere. Family Tree DNA and Ethnoancestry are I think the only companies which offer the special SNP tests which are needed to confirm the subclade. Family Tree DNA have all the large haplogroup and subclade projects. Both these companies are actively involved in research and offer new SNP tests as and when they are discovered. The research is advancing in leaps and bounds at present.
