If you know your Y-chromosome markers, enter them in the spaces provided in the drop-down menus and it will trace paternal line names and likely countries of origin. Three names popped up in my likely ancestry: Nickle (USA and Scotland), Rogers (USA) and Mahoney (USA).
Here is my Place/Time Analysis:
Important notes:
A match close to 100% for a given time period does not necessarily mean that your paternal-line ancestor lived in that country at that time, only that the closest match in the SMGF database had a paternal-line ancestor living in that place and time. In general, the above graph may not imply actual ancestry, just most likely ancestry based on the current SMGF Y-chromosome database.
The highest-likelihood matches may refer to paternal-line cousins rather than to direct paternal-line ancestors. It is possible that a close paternal-line cousin migrated to a country that your direct-line ancestors never lived in.
The closest match in a given time and country may not be genetically related to other individuals in that country at that time. This graph refers to specific individuals living in the country, not necessarily to the country as a whole.
I came upon this site through a genealogy discussion board. I did NOT ping the pingmeisters (PH; SC) in order for you to ping your lists, but just because I thought you might be interested in this Sorenson site if you've done your Y-haplotypes (or if you're a Mahoney, Nickle or Rogers and we are perhaps, cousins).
Ping...
Neat article. My Y-haplotypes are probably best unknown. I'm pinging "the few" ...
LOL! What could you possibly find that you'd rather not know? Hey--I hear Genghis Khan even had a soft side...or perhaps you'd find out that you and I are cousins 1,500 generations removed??

Besides, I can't imagine asking my brother or father for a DNA sample.
Hey, Dad. Could I just swab your cheek for a bit? I want to know about my ancestors.
If you're a woman, they do a mitochondrial DNA which gives your maternal line. If you are a guy, then you only need to swab your own cheek. If your dad or brother does it (or paternal uncle, for that matter) YOU do not have to do it since ALL the men in your family with the same last name have the same Y chromosome as you.
This is not creepy at all. I want to do it. My brother is the last living male of our line. My father was the only son and my brother his only son. My brother has 2 daughters. He will go along with it but I just don't know what to do with the swab.
sarcasm ended.
It seems a bit Brave New World, Apocalypse time kinda thing. Like some day, we'll carry our genetic code around like a Driver's License, and the markers will determine what we will or will not be able to do. I've probably read too much dystopian literature or seen one too many SF shows.
It may be a bit paranoid, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. I guess I just don't want my DNA in a database somewhere. Heck, I don't even like to give out my Social Security number! I think I'll keep my markers to myself.
Still, it is intriguing. Maybe one day my curiosity will get the better of me.
Thanks, I e-mailed it to my brother.
( :-D
Thanks for the ping. There was a GGG topic about the National Genographic, oops, Geographic article on an mtDNA study ($100 a head) in which one could participate. I didn't do that either. ;')
I've seen my own genealogy going back in some lines twelve generations, and have never encountered any crossed lines, so I'm inclined to think that I'm probably cousins with about half of America. :')
There was another topic on FR, I've been unable to find it, regarding a claim that everyone is descended from a single individual who lived in Asia a mere 3500 years ago, IOW, only that (he or) she was our last common ancestor. I wonder if anyone has the link? Good time to post the GGG links update.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
What scares me is a persistent family rumor that -- among with a collection of other dubious ancestors -- we are descended from one of the Hessians. I'd rather not know.
I remember the article too but, you know me, I can't find anything.
How much do I have to bleed on my keyboard and for how long? LOL
a ha!

Sounds like a good winter project to me. I think I'll sign up if I can scrape together a spare $100.
Now you've let the cat out of the bag. For the coming year, the creos will have a new cavalier dismissal for your posts.
I can live with that, but I hope they don't figure out the whole "ape" thing.
Now you've gone and done it.

I wanted to sign my husband up to donate DNA to the database but was stumped by the following requirement, "My pedigree chart begins with me." Huh? I cannot parse that into English.
http://smgf.org/request_a_free_kit.html
Not sure if they want female DNA as well -- it seems that they do? It's just not clear.
I already tried this.
Results were as I feared. My dad accused me of thinking he wasn't my "real" father and my brother promised to do it but took the kit and it was never seen again.
LOL, just what I imagined!
That was you? You know, your folks probably broke several environmental laws, defaced public property (unless they owned their caves), harmed wildlife in the making of the paintings.... This could run you a pretty penny.
I think "my pedigree chart begins with me" means that I can trace from myself upwards. They require 4-6 generations.
I am amazed at how many lines can be traced back 10 or more generations -- heavy lifting done by people other than myself, I assure you!
Oh, forgot to mention. Husband is "Young, House, Manning, Collingwood, Luttecke, Curtis". Not one of which rings any particular bells.
We can trace parts of my husband's line back 7 generations. We can trace parts of mine for 8 generations. We're pretty much what you'd guess with a quick look at us -- Americans descended from northern and western Europeans. Of course, that's assuming that the research was done properly, and everyone was telling the truth about their children's parentage, etc. I like genealogy -- find it interesting. I'd love to find I have great and noble blood in my ancestry, but I'm just as likely to have lowly or villainous blood! In the end, it's what you do from here on out that matters.
I've been doing genealogy for many years. Doubt very much that we have one drop of noble blood -- no idea whether any villainous blood, neither.
I just get a tremendous kick out of the history of it.
You can trace back the entire written history of America over just a little bit more than 400 years!
I have ancestors who were Native Americans but those are very hard to trace back.
The earliest came over on the Mayflower, or to Jamestown, or were early French-Canadians, including Acadians. There were ones that served in the Revolutionary War, and ones that went west with Lewis and Clark, and ones that fought on both sides of the Civil War.
To heck with nobility! Being an American is as noble as I care to be!
It hink everyone is a cousin 1500 generations removed.
At 27 years a generation, you're right. How about 25-40 generations?
related topics, a sort of bump within a bump.
