DNA from 459 Ancient British Isles Burials Reveals Relationships – Does Yours Match?

In December 2021, two major papers were released that focused on the ancient DNA of burials from Great Britain. The paper, A high-resolution picture of kinship practices in an Early Neolithic tomb by Fowler et al provided a genetic analysis of 35 individuals from a Cotswold Neolithic burial who were found to be a multi-generational family unit. In Large-scale migration into Britain during the Middle to Late Bronze Age by Patterson et, the authors generated genome-wide data for 793 ancient burials from the British Isles and continental Europe to determine who settled Great Britain, from where, and when.

Of course, the very first thing genealogists want to know is, “Am I related?”

If we are related, it’s far too distant for the reach of autosomal DNA, but Y DNA and mitochondrial DNA might just be very interesting. If you haven’t yet tested your mother’s line mitochondrial DNA for males and females both, and paternal line Y DNA for males only, you’re in luck because you can purchase those tests here.

These two papers combined provide a significant window into the past in Great Britain; England, Scotland, Wales, and nearby islands.

First, let’s take a look at the Cotswold region.

The Cotswolds

Ancient DNA was retrieved from a cairn burial in the Cotswolds, a hilly region of Southwest England.

Even today, the paused-in-time stone houses, fences, and ancient gardens harken back to earlier times.

Stunningly beautiful and historically important, the Cotswolds is a protected landscape that includes Neolithic burial chambers (3950-2450 BCE), Bronze and Iron Age forts, Roman villas, and eventually, the Celtic pathway known as Fosse Way.

The Hazelton North Long-Tomb Burial Site

The Fowler paper explores the kinship practices and relationships between the Cotswolds burials.

The North Hazelton site was endangered due to repeated plowing in a farmer’s field. Excavation of the tomb occurred in 1981. A book was published in 1990 with a pdf file available at that link. The photo from 1979 on page 3 shows that the burial cairn only looks to be a slight rise in the field.

You can see on the map below from the UK Megalithic site map that there are many other locations in close proximity to the Hazelton North site, some with similarly arranged burials.

The paper’s authors state that there are 100 long cairns within 50 km of Hazelton North, and one only 80 meters away. Excavation in those tombs, along with archaeological evaluation would be needed to determine the ages of the cairns, if burial practices were the same or similar, and if any of the individuals were related to each other or the individuals in the North Hazelton cairn. In other words, were these separate cemeteries of an extended family, or disconnected burial grounds of different groups of people over time.

While the North Hazelton site no longer exists, as it was entirely excavated, on the same page, you can see photos before excavation, along with the main chamber which now resides in the Corinium Museum in Cirencester, just a few kilometers away.

The Fowler team analyzed 35 individuals who lived about 5,700 years ago, at least 100 years after cattle and cereal cultivation was introduced to Britain along with the construction of megalithic monuments. Stonehenge, the most well-known megalith, is located about 90 miles away and is estimated to be about 5,100 years old. The burials from Stonehenge indicate that they were primarily Early European Farmers (EEF) from Anatolia who first moved to Iberia, then on to Britain.

The remains analyzed in this paper were excavated from the Hazelton North Megalithic long-cairn type tomb.

The tomb was built between 5,695 and 5,650 years ago, with the stonework of the north passage collapsing and sealing off the north chamber between 5,660 and 5,630 years ago. All burials stopped in this location about 5,620 years ago, so the site was only in use for about 80 years.

The tomb seems to have been built with multiple passages in anticipation of planned burials by genealogical association. The arrangement of burials was determined by kinship, at least until the passage wall of the North chamber collapsed. The southern and northern chambers each housed two females’ descendants, respectively. While the male progenitor was significant in that this entire tomb was clearly his family tomb, the arrangement of the burials within the chambers suggests that the women were socially significant in the community, and to their families as well.

Osteological analysis reveals at least 41 individuals, 22 of whom were adults. Strontium isotope analysis indicates that most of the individuals had spent time in their childhood at least 40 km away. Authors of a 2015 paper interpret this to mean that the population as a whole was not sedentary, meaning that they may have moved with their livestock from place to place, perhaps based on seasons. Of course, this also calls into question what happened if an individual died while the group was not in the location of the burial cairn.

Of those individuals, 27 people were part of a 5-generation family with many interrelationships.

Of the 15 intergenerational genetic transmissions, all were through men, meaning every third, fourth or fifth generation individual was connected to the original patriarch through only males, suggesting that patrilineal descent determined who was buried in a Neolithic tomb. This also tells us that patrilineal social practices were persistent.

26 of 35 people with genetic data were male. Male burials in other Cotswold tombs outnumber females 1.6 to 1. The remains of some women must have been treated differently.

No adult lineage daughters were present in the tomb, although two infant daughters were, suggesting that adult daughters were out-married, outside of either the community or this specific family lineage. They would have been buried in their husband’s tomb, just as these women were buried here.

The male progenitor reproduced with 4 females, producing 14 adult sons who were buried in the tomb. All four females were buried in the tomb, in two chambers, suggesting that women, at least high-status women were buried with their partners and not in their father’s tomb.

The lineages of two of those women were buried in the same half of the tomb over all generations, suggesting maternal lineages were socially important.

The burials included four men who did not descend from the male progenitors of the clan lineage but DID descend from women who also had children with the progenitors. The authors state that this suggests that the progenitor men adopted the four children of their mates into their lineage, but it also raises the possibility that the progenitor men were not aware that those four men were not their descendants.

Multiple reproductive partners of men were not related to each other, but multiple reproductive partners of women were.

Eight individuals found within the tomb were not closely related to the main lineages. This could mean that they were partners of men who did not reproduce, or who had only adult daughters. It could also mean they were socially important, but not biologically related to either each other nor the tomb’s family members whose DNA was sampled.

Of those who are related, inbreeding had been avoided meaning the parents of individuals were not related to each other based on runs of homozygosity (ROH).

Some of the remains from the north chamber had been gnawed by scavengers, apparently before burial, and three cremations were buried at the entrance including an infant, a child, and an adult. This might answer the question of what happened if someone died while the group was away from the burial site.

Individuals in the north tomb exhibited osteoarthritis typical of other burials in southern England, and signs of nutritional stress in childhood.

The south chamber burials were more co-mingled and dispersed among neighboring compartments.

In the Guardian article, World’s oldest family tree revealed in 5,700-year-old Cotswolds tomb, a genetic pedigree chart was drawn based on the burials, their relationship to each other, and burial locations.

As discussed in this PNAS paper, Megalithic tombs in western and northern Neolithic Europe were linked to a kindred society, other Neolithic tomb burials in Europe were also reflective of a kinship system.

The question remains, where did the Cotswold settlers come from? Who were they descended from and related to? The second paper provides insights to that question.

Who Migrated into Britain, and When?

Patterson et al tell us that their DNA analysis of 793 individuals increased the data from the Middle (1550-1150 BCE) to Late Bronze (1150-750 BCE) and Iron Age (70-BCE-43CE) in Britain by 12-fold, and from Western and Central Europe by 3.5 times.

They also reveal that present-day people from England and Wales carry more ancestry derived from Early European Farmers than people from the Early Bronze Age.

The DNA contributed from Early European Farmers (EEF) increased over time in people in the southern portion of Britain and Wales, which includes the Cotswold region, but did not increase in northern Britain (Scotland,) nor in Kent. Specifically, from 31% in the Early Bronze Age to 34% in the Middle Bronze Age to 35% in the Late Bronze Age to 38% in the Iron Age.

While the EEF DNA increased over time in the Southwest area of Britain, it decreased in other regions. This means that the increase could not be explained by migration from northern continental Europe in the medieval period because those early migrants carried even less Early European Farmer ancestry than the inhabitants of Southwest Britain. Therefore, if those two populations had admixed, the results would be progressively lower EEF in Southwest Britain, not higher.

To fully evaluate this data, the team sequenced earlier samples from both Britain and mainland Europe in addition to the Cotswold burials, targeting 1.2 million SNP locations.

In addition to DNA sequencing, they also utilized radiocarbon dating to confirm the age of the remains.

Results for low-coverage individuals, meaning those with less than 30,000 SNPs scanned at least once, were removed from the data set.

123 individuals were identified as related to each other from 48 families within the third degree. Third-degree relatives share approximately 12.5% of their DNA and would include first cousins, great-grandparents/children, granduncles/aunts, half uncles/aunts/nieces/nephews.

Lactase persistence, the ability to digest the lactose in milk was significantly higher in this population than in either the rest of Britain or Central and Western Europe by a factor of 5 or greater.

The DNA of the Cotswold burial groups and others found from this early timeframe in Southwest Britain and Wales is most similar to ancient burials from France.

A Eupedia megalithic culture page shows a map of various major megalithic sites in both Europe and the British Isles.

Based on charts in Figure 4 of the paper, the location in Europe with the highest percentage of EEF about 4300 years ago (2300 BCE) was the Iberian Peninsula – Spain and Portugal, a location that neighbors France. Lactase persistence began increasing about that time and dramatically rose about 3500 years ago (1500 BCE.)

Y DNA haplogroup R-L21/M529 went from 0% in the Neolithic era (3950-2450 BCE,) or about 5950-4450 years ago) in Britain to 90% in all of Britain in the Early Bronze Era (2450-1550 BCE or 4450-3550 years ago), then dropped slowly to about 70% in the Iron Age in Western England and Wales, then 50% in western Britain and Wales and 20% in Central and Eastern Britain in the Modern Era.

You can read more about this research in this Phys.org article: Geneticists’ new research on ancient Britain contains insights on language, ancestry, kinship, milk, and more about Megalithic burials in France in this Smithsonian Magazine article: Europe’s Megalithic Monuments Originated in France and Spread by Sea Routes, new Study Suggests.

Are You Connected?

The paper authors made the resequenced Y DNA and mitochondrial DNA information available for analysis.

Of course, we all want to know if we are connected with these people, especially if our families have origins in the British Isles.

The R&D team at FamilyTreeDNA downloaded the Y DNA and mitochondrial DNA sequences and linked them to mapped locations. They also correlated samples to Y DNA and mitochondrial DNA haplogroups and linked them to their respective public trees here and here. The Y DNA sometimes contained additional SNP information which allowed a more granular haplogroup to be assigned.

I want to specifically thank Goran Runfeldt, head of R&D, for making this valuable information available and useful for genealogists by downloading, reformatting, and mapping the data, and Michael Sager, phylogeneticist in the FamilyTreeDNA lab, for reanalyzing the Y DNA results and refining them beyond the papers.

Now, let’s get to the best part.

The Map

This map shows the locations of 459 ancient British Isles burials included in the papers, both in the Cotswolds and throughout the rest of Great Britain.

There are significantly more mitochondrial DNA haplogroups represented than Y DNA. Of course, everyone, males and females both have mitochondrial DNA, so everyone can test, but only males carry Y DNA.

The next map shows the distribution of the base mitochondrial haplogroups.

  • H=light green (181 samples)
  • U=rust (70 samples)
  • K=burgundy (68 samples)
  • J=yellow (46 samples)
  • T=dark green (43 samples)
  • V=grey (16 samples)
  • X=dark teal (9 samples)
  • I=orange (6 samples)
  • W=purple (6 samples)
  • N=brown (2 samples)

The most common mitochondrial haplogroup found is H which is unsurprising given that H is the most common haplogroup in Europe as well.

It’s interesting to note that there is no clear haplogroup distribution pattern for either Y DNA or mitochondrial  DNA, with the exception of the North Hazelton burials themselves as outlined in the paper.

There were only three ancient major Y DNA haplogroups discovered.

  • R=green (179 samples)
  • I=gold (50 samples)
  • G=blue (5 samples)

225 total samples were female and had no Y chromosome. A few male Y chromosomes were not recoverable.

Of course, some samples on the maps fall directly beneath other samples, so it’s difficult to discern multiple samples from the same location.

For that, and for more granular haplogroups, we need to refer to the data itself.

How to Use the Data

Each sample is identified by:

  • A sample ID from the papers
  • Sex
  • Location with a google map link.
  • Age calibrated to BCE, before current era, which means roughly how many years before about the year 1 that someone lived. To determine approximately how long ago one of these people lived, add 2000 to the BCE date. For example, 3500 BCE equates to 5500 years ago.
  • Y DNA haplogroup for male samples where recoverable, linked to FamilyTreeDNA’s public Y DNA haplotree.
  • Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup for all but 2 samples where mitochondrial results were not recoverable, linked to FamilyTreeDNA’s public mitochondrial DNA haplotree.

If you have tested your full sequence mitochondrial DNA, you can use the browser search function (ctrl+F) on a PC to search for your haplogroup. For example. Searching for haplogroup H61 produces 5 results. Click on the sample locations to view where they were found. Are they in close proximity to each other? In the same burial?

Four were found at the same location in the Channel Islands, and one in Kent. Where is your ancestor from?

For Y DNA, you can search for your haplogroup, but if you’ve taken the Big Y test and don’t find your specific haplogroup, you might want to use the Y DNA tree to search for successive upstream haplogroups to see where your closest ancient match might be found. Of course, if you’re haplogroup G, it’s pretty easy to just take a look without searching for each individual haplogroup. Just search for “G-“.

For each sample, be sure to click on the haplogroup name itself to view its location on the tree and where else in the world this haplogroup is found. Let’s look at a couple of examples.

Sample: I26628 (Female)
Location: Channel Islands, Alderney, Longis Common
Age: 756-416 calBCE
mtDNA: H61

Mitochondrial haplogroup H61, above, is fairly rare and currently found sparsely in several countries including England, Germany, Hungary, Belarus, Ireland, Netherlands, the UK, and France. The flags indicate the location of FamilyTreeDNA testers’ earliest known ancestor of their mitochondrial, meaning direct matrilineal, line.

Next, let’s look at a Y DNA sample.

Sample: I16427 (Male)
Location: Channel Islands, Guernsey, Vale, Le Déhus
Age: 4234-3979 calBCE
Y-DNA: I-M423
mtDNA: X2b-T226C

Haplogroup I-M423 itself is found most frequently in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Scotland and Ireland, but note that it also has 648 downstream branches defined. You may match I-M423 by virtue of belonging to a downstream branch.

Do you match any of these ancient samples, and where were your ancestors from?

    But I was more interested to see these two mtDNA

    Sample: I17266 (Female)
    Location: England, Hampshire, Nether Wallop, Danebury
    Age: 355-60 calBCE
    mtDNA: U5b1b1-T16192C!

    Sample: I14863 (Female)
    Location: England, Kent, Cliffs End Farm
    Age: 360-201 calBCE
    mtDNA: U5b1b1-T16192C!

  2. I am H1u1 — is NOT listed

    BUT H1t — IS listed.

    When I look at the origin list at the following website –
    https://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_H_mtDNA.shtml

    H1t: “found among the Basques / found in Late Neolithic Spain”
    H1u:found in the Kura-Araxes culture (Bronze Age Armenia) / found in Portugal, Italy, France, Belgium, Britain, Ireland, Slovakia, Finland and Turkey

    I have no idea how closely related H1u is to H1t,
    But it’s interesting to look at the source information.

  3. Like your work on mtDNA haplogroups here. Although my particular one is not mentioned here, it will eventually turn up in ancient bones.
    Massive pity that the Celts mostly cremated. So much data lost.
    And from experience elsewhere we need to ask if these expensive barrow burials were typical of the population as a whole or just of a thin ruling elite who may have been quite different?

    • I love these articles!!! I have many upstream Y-DNA matches. R-P312 is the most prevalent; next is R-L151; and closest is R-L2. My ancestors are from Germany. This is no surprise since my German surname is found in Britain – Heim = Hiamm, Hamlet and Hamm. My closest match for Mt-dna is H1 and my relative is from Sweden.

  4. Great analysis ! Thank you. I just posted the link on the message boards for two of the projects I belong to at FTDNA, hoping they might find some good connections to the haplogroups listed.

  5. Great information…thanks for sharing! I have 3 matches with my MtDNA j1b1a. The closest ancient burial location of Casterley Camp, Wiltshire is about 196 miles from my last known matrilineal ancestor’s birth location of Kenwyn, Cornwall. She was Ann Tonkin, born 1723.

  6. Great article (as usual). I have been following the development in the second article piecemeal thru comments at groups.io for FGC5494. However, while revealing comments and more detail of specific y-haplogroups are in the groups.io thread, it is very disconnected. Maybe paying and downloading the Nature paper would have helped. It is nice to have the context of your overview of what’s going on and some hard results during that time frame.

  7. I have 3 matches with mtDNA: H7a1.
    Unfortunately I can’t trace my direct maternal line past c. 1790s North Carolina.

  8. Second try to post a reply:

    I have one match to my mtDNA of H16-T1526C!. There are several matches to my deceased father’s mtDNA of U5a1b1 (from 23andMe matches, not a full mtDNA sequence). No matches to our Y DNA of R-YP276 or R-BY108862.

  9. Hi, I live in Norway and my father has L664, my haplogroup is U5b2a2a. I found this match:

    Sample: I12771 (Male)
    Location: England, Derbyshire, Brassington, Carsington Pasture Cave
    Age: 513-210 calBCE
    Y-DNA: R-FT5780
    mtDNA: U5b2a2a

    How can I find it in the maps?

  10. Thanks so much for posting this, Roberta, especially all of the additional information added since you first posted. None of these sample match me closely on either Y or mtDNA, but I still find it fascinating. The Patterson et al study also reports on results for a number of ancient DNA samples dating to the Late Bronze and Iron ages from the Czech Republic (n=161), France (n=52), the Netherlands (n=28), Slovakia (n=25), Croatia (n=21), Slovenia (n=14), Spain (n=10), Serbia (n=8), and Austria (n=3). Do you happen to know if FTDNA has analyzed any of these samples or if they plan to do so? These results are actually more relevant to what I know about my Y-DNA and mtDNA lines than those from the British Isles.

    You might also be interested in knowing of a new study that apparently has not been published yet (at least I can’t find it) but the data is now available in the European Nucleotide Archive:

    https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB46830

    The study is titled “Ancient DNA at the edge of the world: Continental immigration and the persistence of Neolithic male lineages in Bronze Age Orkney”. It reports analysis of new samples from 22 Bronze Age and 3 Iron Age burial sites in northwest Orkney and compares them to a number of previously reported samples from Neolithic period burials from throughout the Orkney archipelago. YFull has started analyzing 1856 of these samples, but so far has only reported on mtDNA haplogroups:

    https://www.yfull.com/samples-from-paper/589/

    Hopefully FTDNA will also begin analyzing the ancient DNA samples from this project, which is based at the University of Huddersfield.

  11. Thanks for this post, it’s always fun to compare these. ^_^

    Let’s see for my H2a1 mt-haplogroup… Oh! Lucky!

    Sample: I16498 (Female)
    Location: Scotland, East Lothian, Broxmouth
    Age: 750-404 calBCE
    mtDNA: H2a1

    Sample: I2692 (Female)
    Location: Scotland, East Lothian, Broxmouth
    Age: 727-396 calBCE
    mtDNA: H2a1

    Sample: I2695 (Male)
    Location: Scotland, East Lothian, Broxmouth
    Age: 364-121 calBCE
    Y-DNA: R-P312
    mtDNA: H2a1

    So there were H2a1 in Scotland be in the 1st century BCE… I though it would have come much later, with the Vikings or something like that. A shame I couldn’t get additional letters and numbers to characterize the mutations my cluster of matches before phylotree.org’s ultimate update, I would know if my branch is closely related to this one or not.

    There’s an even older subclade not far from Scotland, although definitely not mine this time:

    Sample: I8582 (Female)
    Location: Isle of Man, Rushen, Strandhall
    Age: 2195-1973 calBCE
    mtDNA: H2a1e1

    Then there’s three more recent in Cornwall, Oxfordshire and Yorkshire, one which is a subclade, but the others could be related to mine or not…

  12. Roberta,

    Thanks for your usually pointed and fascinating analysis.

    My FTDNA Big Y-700 results show a match “Tested Positive” at R-P310, two steps upstream from R-P312, which appears for Sample I16475:

    Sample: I16475 (Male)
    Location: Wales, Clwyd, Dinorben
    Age: 550-1 BCE
    Y-DNA: R-P312
    mtDNA: X2b

    But for me, R-P312 is “Presumed Negative” by FTDNA. From R-P310, my results go through two “Tested Positive” matches, then three “Presumed Positive” matches, then six “Tested Positive” matches to my Confirmed Haplogroup R-FT20603.

    My 6th great-grandparents immigrated from Wales to Philadelphia in the 1680s, and I have thin secondary source evidence that some of their children were “of Denbigh Town” that lies some 5-6 miles from the coordinates listed for Sample I16475. May I regard the data from Sample I16475 as some corroboration of my Welsh lineage?

    • Roberta,

      Do you have any thoughts about my question? I see that my comment is still awaiting moderation. Is it too specific for this forum?

      • I can’t answer that without referring to the tree and I’m at an academic meeting this week. I set it aside thinking I’d have time so I wouldn’t “lose” it but I haven’t been able to.

    • Hi Roberta,

      Do you think that Sample I16475 (Y-DNA: R-P312) indicates any kind of match to my Y-DNA: R-P310 positive results?

      • I would need to look at the tree and see how close they are in proximity to each other. How deeply have you tested. P310 is quite a ways up the tree.

  13. Thanks very much for this. Your blog has been so helpful while I try to understand my paternal line’s Y-DNA.

    Going as far as 1815 in paper records, my father’s paternal line was from Magherally parish, County Down. Before covid, I had hoped a trip to PRONI would help me go further. Maybe one day.

    Only using SNPs found in the above tests, the haplotype (if I’m using terms properly) is
    I-M170>P214>P222>CTS616>M284>L1195>Y3709>L1193>Y3712>3713, so my male relative matches the samples from Hazleton, which I’d seen previously, but also from a range of locations I haven’t seen before (carelessly rounding dates): 4000 BCE in Yorkshire, 3751 BCE in Scotland, 2800 BCE in Wales, 400 BCE in Wiltshire and 97BCE/100 CE in East Lothian. Many of those SNPs (again, not sure if that’s the correct terminology) were listed in your article about aDNA in Ireland, too. I’ve wondered if this was a related group that travelled between Ireland and areas like Gloustershire; with a Welsh match added in, you can envision a path they might have followed. I guess mostly due to my (perhaps incorrect) understanding of discussions on a FTDNA forum, I’ve imagined them to be Mesolithic Britons who adjusted to Neolithic times, rather than being Neolithic arrivals.

    • That’s a good question but with no ready answer. Check the public tree for the locations where each SNP is found. Your ancestor make have been living elsewhere.

      • Hello, thanks for reminding me about the locations function. It’s a long time since I’ve looked at it. Had a quick look now, and from M284 on, it’s overwhelmingly, but not completely, Britain and Ireland. Then, from L1194 to my relative’s terminal SNP the other participants’ most recent known ancestors are reported to have lived in Ireland and England. But so few people have tested in that group. There’s not a lot of evidence yet.

        Thanks again, and best wishes.

  14. I have both Ydna and Mtdna of

    Sample: I16488 (Male)
    Location: Wales, West Glamorgan, Gower Peninsula, Port Eynon, Culver Hole Cave
    Age: 1201-1015 calBCE
    Y-DNA: R-L21
    mtDNA: U5a1b1

    I am By3374 and U5a1b1d1*
    this is the first time i have seen someone who matches
    me on both Ydna and Mtdna
    thank you for posting this.
    ps Any more luck on finding your Moore roots?
    The Moore family is so hard to find the right ones

  15. Please put your material into a new book! We need a good reference book relating ancient DNA and migration patterns to today’s DNA. Well done, Roberta!

  16. I redid the search as I noticed when I tried my mothers I had a space in there and now have :

    Sample: I21312 (Male)
    Location: England, Wiltshire, Casterley Camp
    Age: 343-51 calBCE
    Y-DNA: R-BY129194
    **mtDNA: J1b1a1

    Sample: I16613 (Male)
    Location: England, Hampshire, Nether Wallop, Danebury
    Age: 351-54 calBCE
    **mtDNA: J1b1a1
    Sample: I19037 (Female)  ** this one is a just a step away!
    Location: England, Hampshire, Winnall Down
    Age: 400-100 BCE
    mtDNA: J1b1a1b

  17. This is so interesting, and I am in awe that DNA was found and analyzed that is this old!
    I found 5 exact matches from my mDNA group X2b-T226c, from Channel Islands, Cambridgeshire, Kent, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire.

    My oldest known ancestor on the female line was born in Pennsylvania in 1794.

    I really don’t know what to do with this info, from so long ago, but still find it fascinating. Thank you for sharing!

  18. Thank you Roberta for the interesting information. I’ve had my full mitochondrial sequence tested at FTDNA and am T1a1 with one extra coding region mutation. My direct female line is from the west coast of Gwynedd in north Wales but all six of my exact FMS matches have female lines from the west of Cornwall, clustered around Redruth. I see that a group of Iron Age T1a1 burials have been discovered at Trethellan, near Redruth. Could it be possible that my female line goes back to the matriarch of this Iron Age group?

  19. Hi Roberta, thank you very much for this I just have missed it first time around! I appear to share a common ancestor with “R-Z52” (I20589) at R-Z57 this being now the closest yDNA ‘ancient match’ that I am aware of and would like to know more about the circumstances the remains were found in but I’m struggling to find source information on the context the Yarnton remains, I’m hoping there was an excavation report if not publication..

    Do you know if the remains are linked to this publication from 1999? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236011319_Iron_Age_Inhumation_Burials_at_Yarnton_Oxfordshire

    Sample: I20589 (Male)
    Location: England, Oxfordshire, Yarnton
    Age: 400-200 BCE
    Y-DNA: R-Z52

  20. Hello,
    This is so exciting.
    I have an exact match with

    Sample: I12776 (Female)
    Location: England, Derbyshire, Brassington, Carsington Pasture Cave
    Age: 1918-1750 calBCE
    mtDNA: U4a2c

    Was only the mt determined here or was the whole genome possible?

    Sorry my bad english.

  21. Sample: I12776 (Female)
    Location: England, Derbyshire, Brassington, Carsington Pasture Cave
    Age: 1918-1750 calBCE
    mtDNA: U4a2c

    Can i find further information about that female?
    I have U4a2c too.
    Thank you!

  22. Sample: I12778 (Male)
    Location: England, Derbyshire, Brassington, Carsington Pasture Cave
    Age: 381-203 calBCE
    Y-DNA: R-DF5
    mtDNA: H4a1a2

    Interestingly, I have traced the papertrail of my father’s father’s line etc to Carsington, Derbyshire (late 1400s). The name came to that village in 1360s. Our Y-DNA is in the FGC15498 group in DF5. The above sample is a nice surprise to say the least.

  23. Thank you Roberta for this comprehensive overview of the article, especially the summary of the data. Considering the number of samples, I guess a few errors in the Excel tables are to be expected. The authors originally accepted the machine call of R-Z262 for sample I20982. However they made a determination that this should be L2 due to support of 4 SNPs (unnamed). They then use the correct ISOGG letter – number designation (as seen also in an 4 actual L2 samples), but then they write R-L20 in the haplogroup column. It is not exactly certain that this is an L2 sample, but the L20 is a simple clerical error – the sort of thing that dogs all these studies. Thanks again for your exceptional contribution to genetic genealogy – your depth and breadth of knowledge shines through in a posting such as this.

      • Hello Roberta. Yes, it has been quite some time. Still making discoveries – although mostly expanding the knowledge of known ancestors. I was fortunate enough to have someone in Norwich contact me who possessed the 3 medals earned by my gg grandfather Sgt. Charles Faux while overseas in India and Pakistan (1840s) – and engraved with his name. They are now in my possession and it is a treat to be able to look at these medals and ribbons and then look at my copy of the painting of gg grandfather with the same 3 ribbons sewn on to his militia jacket (once he got back to Norwich). It is a long story, but this painting in the Norwich Castle Museum also included as sitters my gg grandmother born in South Africa, and my then 3 year old great grandfather. The discovery of this painting is how I ended up on an episode of “Unsolved Mysteries” with Robert Stack in 1995 – so having the medals was just icing on the cake. Talk about heirlooms. BTW I bought your book on discovering Native American DNA in of all places Williamsburg, Virginia. Great reference work for myself and wife. Left it at my other home, but will read it later this fall. With best wishes, David.

        • I had no idea the book was being sold in Williamsburg. Thank you for your two decades of support!!! Your medals warm my heart. This is really what it’s all about isn’t it.

    • Woops, it appears that I was wrong and the L20 designation for the English sample is correct. I spoke with Dr. Reich and Dr. Olalde from the Reich labs the the latter gave me the SNPs that were found in association with the sample (e.g., Z367 and downstream L20 SNPs) so the data in the Excel sheet for sample I20982 is correct. My error – although it was good to question when the sample was machine called as having a terminal SNP which is characteristically British (Z262).

  24. Any idea why, after 8 months, FTDNA has still not done the Continental samples from this same study? The new Discover function has the British sample results but not the Continental ones 🙁

      • For all ~300 European samples? 😉

        Thank you for asking them. I’m wondering if they just forgot.

        • Every sample has to be run individually through the pipeline, placed on the tree, and their phylogeographer has to locate the coordinates and write a description. And of course that’s assuming they don’t require special handling due to quality issues where they have to be reviewed to see if they can be used at any level, even if they fail QA. The good news is that there are lots of ancient samples now.

          • Looks like they finally got around to running at least some of them: I can see a “new” Dutch MBA Patterson sample in my Discover report. LOL tjhey have him as “Bronze Age Germanic” which is a bit anachronistic, if you ask me….

  26. R1b-L21 + H3 here. My direct paternal lineage is from the Norwegian West Coast, where it probably arrived by sea from the British Isles or something.

    Did the R1b-L21 men in ancient Britain take all the women by force? What’s your theory?

  27. Thanks! My uncle just split the R-A286 haplogroup into two, so the Birkrigg man from Cumbria is now in R-Z17991 with my uncle. Given that the age of the sample and the age of the haplogroup are pretty close, I guess that means he may be very closely related to my uncle’s direct ancestor. So cool!

  28. I match Yarton BY15941 I am down from that at BY15949. My Uncles alllive 20 minutes away from Yarton, which after 4200 years or even 2200 years is really crazy. And they moved back their from Ireland, where they were born.

  29. I have a match with the Mount Pleasant 725 man (R-BY39347) who lived in Cambridgeshire who lived between 940 – 1365 CE.

  30. I have a match with the Mount Pleasant 725 man (R-BY39347) who lived in Cambridgeshire between 940 – 1365 CE.
