Fergus(s)on DNA Project

Haplogroup R1b - Clade: Eastern

Thomas and Dick are in a category all by themselves. Their DYS 393 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 (with DYS 389ii=29). 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".
