The folks who have shown a 12 marker exact match to my own DNA have some very different sounding surnames. Say what!...was my first response to this finding. These folks were to have shared a common ancestor some 1000 years ago. [Roughly around the time of the Norman invasion to the island.] The following are those surnames.
Amshoff
Boyle
Claxton
Doharich
Sharp
Gilmore
Johnson
Weirich
Pritchard
Gill
Leonard
Pearson
Fouriner
Uttridge
Muradoglu
Maudire-Janton
Tilton
... say what!
Are there any folks out there with the surnames above who have done their DNA? Would love to try and make the historical connections to these surnames? Our common ancestors must have been close by around 1100 AD...!
Hello Dr. Jones,
ReplyDeleteI'm just chock full of Welsh DNA and I'm trying to get a handle on where I fit in. I have an Ancestry Autosomal file and a Gedmatch kit No. Is there anyway to compare to the 12 markers you are referring to?
Paternal side surname direct descent from one of the original land owners in the Welsh Tract. Arrived in 1682. Maternal side goes back through Wiley Roten Jones and Morgan Jones in Delaware. Again, on my father's side I show direct descent from Llewelyn apIowerth through the Matthews in Virginian
Hello Stability Jones...its good to have all that Welsh DNA with the surname Jones. My 12-marker DNA [Locus/DYS#] and alleles are given in my post of Monday, May 2, 2011. Your DYS#s can be match to this listing. Let me know if we match.
