DNA Test Results
We currently have 6 participants, all 6 have full results in. 1 is waiting on a deep-SNP test to determine haplogroup origins.
We are in need of more Merwede/Merwe/Merbel and Klootwijk's to be able to start tying this together. One member is a haplogroup "I" with almost the same paper trail as someone in haplogroup "R1b1", this is extremely odd. This could be either a non-parental event or a lab error. We definately need at least one more Merbel and Merwe from theDutch line of Arie van de Merwe to figure out what happened.
Since interpreting test results and the matches that come with them can
be rather difficult, please feel free to contact
the study coordinator with any help or alternative theories.
Privacy is respected. If you wish to be a part of the project, but wish to remain anonymous, we will not publish your full name or anything that will tie you to the results. We will list only a kit #, most distant documented ancestor and surname.
Here are some tips for understanding and using the test results.
-
Presently we have 2 participants that have realized near or exact matches. Below the chart is a brief analysis of the DNA samples that were compared. The closeness of each match helps determine the probability that participants share a common ancestor in the recent past. Based primarily on these matches, the test results below will be grouped by color - green, yellow, etc. to indicate possible relations.
-
Certain marker values are highlighted in red, indicating which markers mutate more quickly (if you consider several hundred years quick). This is important to know because faster mutating markers are more likely to be different, even among participants who are closely related. In other words, if the only differences between two participants are fast mutating markers (those in red), it's still possible that they're related.
-
Haplogroups in green have been confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the individual's personal page. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for ordering a SNP test to confirm the haplogroup. If a – is in the HAPLO field then we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider ordering a SNP confirmation test.
Project Sub-Groups - Y-DNA Analysis
*This chart breaks down individuals into family haplotypes. Each haplotype contains individuals who have near or exact matches. Members in the unassigned catagory either do not match a catagorized family or there is not enough data to make a determination.

* There is a solid match of kit #'s 61303 and 64054. A match of 66 of 67 shows a MRCA within the last 3 or 4 generations. The haplogroup of these kits is R1b1c9 since they are S21+ through EthnoAncestry's S-series test. Any male from the direct van der Merwede line would also test S21+.
Haplogroups and Haplotypes
-
Haplogroups are clusters of Haplotypes (expressed as exact or near exact 12-marker matches) that are in a tight proximity to each other. Think of the Haplotypes as the leaves of a tree, and the Haplogroups as the limbs of the tree. In fact, the Haplogroups are the limbs of the tree of Homo Sapien-Sapien, our unique branch of humanity.
People in different Haplogroups cannot be related within 10 thousand or more years. Each male test result provides a prediction of the Haplogroup currently about 90% of the time. In general, the following rule of thumb may be used to relate Haplogroups to origins:
Y-DNA
Haplogroup |
Designation |
| B |
B is one of the oldest Y-chromosome lineages in humans. Haplogroup B is found exclusively in Africa. This lineage was the first to disperse around Africa. There is current archaeological evidence supporting a major population expansion in Africa approximately 90-130 thousand years ago. It has been proposed that this event may have spread Haplogroup B throughout Africa. Haplogroup B appears at low frequency all around Africa, but is at its highest frequency in Pygmy populations. |
| C |
C is found throughout mainland Asia, the south Pacific, and at low frequency in Native American populations. Haplogroup C originated in southern Asia and spread in all directions. This lineage colonized New Guinea, Australia, and north Asia, and currently is found with its highest diversity in populations of India. |
| C3 |
C3 is believed to have originated in southeast or central Asia. This lineage then spread into northern Asia, and then into the Americas. |
| D2 |
D2 most likely derived from the D lineage in Japan. It is completely restricted to Japan, and is a very diverse lineage within the aboriginal Japanese and in the Japanese population around Okinawa. |
| E3a |
E3a is an Africa lineage. It is currently hypothesized that this haplogroup dispersed south from northern Africa within the last 3,000 years, by the Bantu agricultural expansion. E3a is also the most common lineage among African Americans. |
| E3b |
E3b is believed to have evolved in the Middle East. It expanded into the Mediterranean during the Pleistocene Neolithic expansion. It is currently distributed around the Mediterranean, southern Europe, and in north and east Africa. |
| G |
G may have originated in India or Pakistan, and has dispersed into central Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The G2 branch of this lineage (containing the P15 mutation) is found most often in Europe and the Middle East. |
| H |
H is nearly completely restricted to India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. |
| I, I1, I1a |
I, I1, and I1a are nearly completely restricted to northwestern Europe. These would most likely have been common within Viking populations. One lineage of this group extends down into central Europe. |
| I1b |
I1b was derived within Viking/Scandinavian populations in northwest Europe and has since spread down into southern Europe where it is present at low frequencies. |
J |
J is found at highest frequencies in Middle Eastern and north African populations where it most likely evolved. This marker has been carried by Middle Eastern traders into Europe, central Asia, India, and Pakistan. |
J2 |
J2 originated in the northern portion of the Fertile Crescent where it later spread throughout central Asia, the Mediterranean, and south into India. As with other populations with Mediterranean ancestry this lineage is found within Jewish populations. The Cohen modal lineage is found in Haplogroup J2. |
Q |
Q is the lineage that links Asia and the Americas. This lineage is found in North and Central Asian populations as well as native Americans. This lineage is believed to have originated in Central Asia and migrated through the Altai/Baikal region of northern Eurasia into the Americas. |
Q3 |
Q3 is the only lineage strictly associated with native American populations. This haplogroup is defined by the presence of the M3 mutation (also known as SY103). This mutation occurred on the Q lineage 8-12 thousand years ago as the migration into the Americas was underway. There is some debate as to on which side of the Bering Strait this mutation occurred, but it definitely happened in the ancestors of the Native American peoples. |
R1a |
R1a is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black and Caspian Seas. This lineage is believed to have originated in a population of the Kurgan culture, known for the domestication of the horse (approximately 3000 B.C.E.). These people were also believed to be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group. This lineage is currently found in central and western Asia, India, and in Slavic populations of Eastern Europe. |
R1b |
R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype (HG1). |
Most Distant Known Ancestor Map
Below is a map containing the locations that the most distant known ancestors lived, of the individuals contained in the chart above.
The ancestors are marked with a blood droplet marker. You can click on the "+" sign on the map to zoom in which will allow you to better see the relationship of those ancestors to each other. The "Map", "Satellite" and "Hybrid" buttons will change views.
Basically I added this for entertainment as I like toys.
