What does the project show so far? So far we have five contributors. Donors 2, 3, 4 and 6 are definitely related. This means that we have now proved that Charles (5), Oliver (5) and Rice (5) were without any doubt brothers !!

Donor number 5 is not related to the family tree. There were circumstances that brought this line into question and the results, although disappointing are not totally surprising.

 What does this all mean?

Haplogroups

Our confirmed Haplogroup is R1b1 (P25).  What does that mean?   It means that we are of Western European Origin and are of Spanish Basque descent. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype.  Basque and Celtic people belong to this Haplogroup and they were among the earliest settlers of the Iberian Peninsula.  These people are generally a mix of Celt and Iberian or Celtiberian.   65% of modern day Iberians share this origin.  

To further understand our Haplogroup and ancestry through DNA we have joined the Iberian Peninsula Project through FTDNA.  We have so far connected with at least two surnames that trace back to Spain and the Basque region of Navarre.  

Iberian Peninsula DNA Project
 
        Project Background:

The hope of this DNA Project is to better understand the ancient history of the Iberian Peninsula and its descendants within the last 10,000 years. The Project Administrator is a history teacher who has done extensive research on the different peoples who have had an impact in this peninsula. By using DNA haplogroups and the history of the Iberian Peninsula it is possible to get the origin of an ancient forefather or ancient foremother.
 
Here is a brief history of the Iberian Peninsula, which illustrates a few of the many peoples who have left descendants:
 
The Iberian Peninsula, or Iberia, is located in the extreme southwest of Europe. It has been inhabited for at least 500,000 years, first by Neanderthals and then by Cro-Magnon people (modern humans).
 
The original peoples of the Iberian peninsula, consisted of a number of separate tribes, were given the generic name of Iberians. This may have included
the Basques, the only pre-Celtic people in Iberia surviving to the present day as a separate ethnic group.
 
In the early first millennium BCE, several waves of Celts invaded Iberia from central Europe and intermarried with the local Iberian people, forming
the Celtiberians (with many different nations).
 
The seafaring Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians successively settled along the Mediterranean coast and founded trading colonies there over a period of several centuries.
 
Around 1100 BCE Phoenician merchants founded the trading colony of Gadir or Gades (modern day Cбdiz) near Tartessos. In the 8th century BCE the first Greek colonies, such as Emporion (modern Empъries), were founded along the Mediterranean coast on the East, leaving the south coast to the Phoenicians. The Greeks are responsible for the name Iberia, after the river Iber (Ebro). In the 6th century BCE the Carthaginians arrived in Iberia while struggling with the Greeks for control of the Western Mediterranean. Their most important colony was Carthago Nova (Latin name of modern day Cartagena).
 
In 219 BCE, the first Roman troops invaded the Iberian Peninsula, during the Second Punic war against the Carthaginians, and annexed it under Augustus after two centuries of war with the Celtic and Iberian tribes and the Phoenician, Greek and Carthaginian colonies becoming the province of Hispania. It was divided in Hispania Ulterior and Hispania Citerior during the late Roman Republic; and, during the Roman Empire, Hispania Taraconensis in the northeast, Hispania Baetica in the south and Lusitania in the southwest.
 
Hispania supplied the Roman Empire with food, olive oil, wine and metal. The emperors Trajan, Hadrian and Theodosius I, the philosopher Seneca and the poets Martial and Lucan were born in Iberia.
 
In the early 5th century, Germanic tribes invaded the peninsula, namely the Suebi, the Vandals (Silingi and Hasdingi) and their allies, the Sarmatian Alans. Only the kingdom of the Suebi (Quadi and Marcomanni) would endure after the arrival of another wave of Germanic invaders, the Visigoths, who conquered all of the Iberian peninsula and expelled or partially integrated the Vandals and the Alans. The Visigoths eventually conquered the Suebi kingdom and its capital city Bracara (modern day Braga) in 584-585.
 
In 711 CE, a Moorish Umayyad army from North Africa invaded Visigoth Christian Spain. Under their leader Taric Bin Zeyad also known as "Taric El Tuerto," they landed at Gibraltar and brought most of the Iberian Peninsula under Islamic rule in an eight-year campaign. Al-Andalus was the Arabic name given to the Iberian Peninsula by its Muslim conquerors.
 
From the 8th to the 15th centuries, parts of the Iberian peninsula were ruled by the Moors (mainly Berber with some Arab) who had crossed over from North Africa. Many of the ousted Gothic nobles took refuge in the unconquered north Asturian highlands. From there they aimed to reconquer their lands from the Moors: this war of reconquest is known as the Reconquista. Christian and Muslim kingdoms fought and allied among themselves. The Muslim taifa kings competed in patronage of the arts, the Way of Saint James attracted pilgrims from all Western Europe and the Jewish population of Iberia set the basis of Sephardic culture.
 
In medieval times the peninsula housed many small states including Castille, Aragon, Navarre, Leуn and Portugal. The peninsula was part of the Islamic
Almohad empire until they were finally uprooted. The last major Muslim stronghold was Granada which was eliminated by a combined Castillian and Aragonese force in 1492. The small states gradually amalgamated over time, and for a brief period (1580-1640) the whole peninsula was united politically under the Iberian Union. Today, Spain, Portugal, and Andorra encompass the entire peninsula of Iberia.

R1b1c

Most of the present-day European males with the M343 marker also have the P25 and M269 markers. These markers define the R1b1c subclade.

This subgroup is believed by some to have existed before the last Ice Age and has been associated with the Aurignacian culture[7] (32,000 - 21,000 BC). Although the precise route of the M269 marker is not known, it has been theorized to originate in Central Asia/South Central Siberia. Archaeological evidence supports the view of the arrival of Aurignacian culture to Anatolia from Europe during the Upper Paleolithic rather than from the Iranian plateau[8]. It could have entered prehistoric Europe from the area of Ukraine/Belarus or Central Asia (Kazakhstan) via the coasts of the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. It is considered widespread in Europe throughout the Paleolithic already before the last Ice Age.[9]

Traditionally this culture is associated with the Cro-Magnon people, the first modern humans to enter Europe. However, this view has recently been challenged.[10] The people of the Aurignacian culture were the first documented human artists, making sophisticated cave paintings. Famous sites include Lascaux in France, Cueva de las Monedas in Spain and Valley of Foz Côa in Portugal (the largest open-air site in Europe).

The glaciation of the ice age intensified, and the continent became increasingly uninhabitable. The genetic diversity narrowed through founder effects and population bottlenecks, as the population became limited to a few coastal refugia in Southern Europe. The present-day population of R1b in Western Europe are believed to be the descendants of a refugium in the Iberian peninsula (Portugal and Spain), where the R1b1c haplogroup may have achieved genetic homogeneity. As conditions eased with the Allerød Oscillation in about 12,000 BC, descendants of this group migrated and eventually recolonized all of Western Europe, leading to the dominant position of R1b in variant degrees from Iberia to Scandinavia, so evident in haplogroup maps.


Here are the test values for a 12 marker test per the FTDNA standards.

Perfect match (12/12): RELATED Your perfect 12/12 match means you share a common male ancestor with a person who shares your surname (or variant). These two facts demonstrate your relatedness, however if your name is one of the most common surnames, i.e. Smith, Tailor, Miller, etc, (trades or towns) then we always suggest you utilize additional markers to eliminate the possibility of a coincidental surname and genetic match.

One marker off (11/12): Possibly Related. You share the same surname (or a variant) with another male and you mismatch by only one 'point' on only one marker. For most closely related or same surnamed individuals, the mismatch markers are either DYS 439 or DYS 385 A, 385 B,389-1 and 389-2. To ensure that the match is authentic you should utilize additional markers.

Two markers off (10/12): Probably Not Related: You share the same surname (or a variant) but are off by 2 'points' or 2 locations on just 12 markers. It is only possible that you and another related family members' line each have had a mutation. There are two ways with DNA testing to confirm or deny. One is to test additional family members to search for a line that shows a mutation that is 1 point closer to your sample. The other is to test additional markers. Refining greatly enhances science’s ability to determine relatedness -- geared towards the most accurate assessment of the number of generations to a shared ancestor. Only by further testing can you find the person in between each of you...this in 'betweener' becomes essential for you to find, and in their absence we feel you are not related.

9/12 - is too far off to be considered related. Unlikely but vaguely possible that the rule for Probably Not Related applies.

8/12 - You are not related and the odds greatly favor that you have not shared a common male ancestor with this person within thousands of years.

7/12 - You are not related and the odds greatly favor that you have not shared a common male ancestor with this person within thousands of years.

<5/12 - You are totally unrelated to this person.

  Here are the test values for the 25 marker test  

25/25 match   Related  Your perfect 25/25 match means you share a common male ancestor with a person who shares your surname (or variant). These two facts demonstrate your relatedness.  

24/25 match   Related   You share the same surname (or a variant) with another male and you mismatch by only one 'point' on only one marker. For most closely related and same surnamed individuals, the mismatch markers are usually either DYS 439 or DYS 385 A, 385 B,389-1 and 389-2 from our first panel of 12 markers, and on the following from the second panel: DYS #'s 458 459 a 459b 449, 464 a-d, which have shown themselves to move most rapidly. The probability of a close relationship is very high.  

23/25 match  Probably Related.   You share the same surname (or a variant) with another male and you mismatch by two 'points' among the 25 markers we tested. For most closely related and same surnamed individuals, the mismatch markers are usually either DYS 439 or DYS 385 A, 385 B,389-1 and 389-2 from our first panel of 12 markers, and on the following from the second panel: DYS #'s 458 459 a 459b 449, 464 a-d, which have shown themselves to move most rapidly. The probability of a close relationship is good, however your results show mutations, and therefore more time between you and the other same surnamed person.  

22/25 match  Probably Related    You share the same surname (or a variant) but are off by 3 'points' or 3 locations on the 25 markers tested. If enough time has passed it is possible that you and another distantly related family members' line each have had a mutation, or perhaps 2. The only way to prove that is to test additional family lines and find where the mutation took place. Only by further testing can you find the person in between each of you... this in 'betweener' becomes essential for you to find, and in their absence the possibility of a match exists, but further evidence should be pursued.  

21/25 is too far off to be considered related. Unlikely but vaguely possible that the rule for ONLY “Probably Not Related” applies. It is important to determine what set of results (or haplotype) most typifies 'most' members of the group you are close to matching. You may be 21/25 with an individual, but 23/25 with the center (most common) of the group, and your potential relatedness to him is through the center of the group.  

20/25 You are not related and the odds greatly favor that you have not shared a common male ancestor with this person in excess of 2,000 years.  

19/25 You are not related and the odds greatly favor that you have not shared a common male ancestor with this person in excess of 5,000 years.  

<19/25  You are totally unrelated to this person.
