Haplogroup R1b - Clade: Eastern

 dna
Haplogroup R1b is discussed in a Wikipedia article.

Thomas and Dick are in a category all by themselves. Their DYS393 of 12 is unique amongst the Fergus(s)on and their other markers sufficiently distant that it is a sign of a distinct origin. As the table below shows, their haplotypes are a reasonable match to the Eastern Europe R1b Modal Haplotype defined by Nordtvedt. One research project is attempting to show that persons of Scottish origin in this Haplogroup are of the Border Reiver families found along the Anglo-Scottish Border. Campbell identifies a subset of this haplotype as OGAP20 (Oxford Genetic Atlas Project - Type 20). Campbell writes: "though their presence in Tayside is very slightly higher than in Central England, the author believes that they are probably better categorized as English rather than Scottish. It is theorized that this signature probably migrated northward along the east coast of England, but the author is at a loss as to why there isn’t a greater presence of these haplotypes in the Borders, Northumbria, and Northern England".

Haplotype Table

A modal haplotype is the set of markers corresponding to the most frequently observed values for each marker. The markers highlighted are said to be off modal and patterns in these markers distinguish one branch or family from another.
The Eastern haplotype in the table below is that defined by Nordtvedt (with DYS 389ii=29).

Genetic Distance

Genetic distance is a measure of the differences between two haplotypes. In its simplest form one simply counts the number of markers that differ. The model used is known as the Hybrid Mutation Model and conforms to that used by Family Tree DNA.
