Haplogroup R1b - Clade: L21- MacWho

 dna
Haplogroup R1b is discussed in a Wikipedia article. Persons in this clade are advised to join the R-L21_MacWho Project.

This is a clade is researched by Lancaster et al who refer to the group as their Scottish Ancestor "MacWho?". The match of FERGUSON, FURRY, FERGUS and FERGIE provides a extraordinary case study on the origin of the surname.

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 MacWho haplotype in the table below is a modal computed from the R-L21 MacWho Project.

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.

Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor

The Time To Most Recent Ancestor (TMRCA) is a measure of relatedness and well defined in the case of a family tree wherein one simply counts the number of generations back to the most recent common ancestor shared with someone else in the tree. From differences in haplotypes between two men it is possible to make a rough estimate of the probability that the TMRCA falls between two numbers. The numbers reported in the table below are such that the TMRCA will be less than the number shown with a probability of 95%.
