WHEATON distribution in Southwest England and Wales

WHEATON SURNAME VARIANT MAP This map was recently generated for me and it shows WHEATON, WHEADON and WHEDDON derivations in England in 1881 census. You can see thatWHEATON is more highly represented overall thanWHEADON and there is some overlap. WhereasWHEDDON appears in locations widely spread with theclear cut highest portion near Bridgewater, Somerset. Across the […]
SNIPPTY DO DA! WHEATON GROUP B
Posted on July 27, 2015 2 Comments
Hi all, Yes things have been quiet here for quite some time. Although eventually I will be posting more about my trip. A few days ago I was alerted by Rich Roca (of R-U152) of a new match that is in our FGC22501 cluster, below L2. Our WHEATON Group B has a genetic distance GD […]
Closing in on Robert WHEATON’s homeland
Posted on April 12, 2015 1 Comment
GROUP B: the origins of Robert WHEATON For me searching for Robert’s origins have been a nearly life long quest. Aside from my speculation we have DNA matches with the HANCOCKS from South Molton, DEVON and the HOWELLS from Newport Wales. One of our two New SNPS: FGC22538 is shared by: DOOTZ 1200 Transylvania Saxons […]
Heading to Devon

Its been while since I posted here but most of you know I am headed to England on April 15th. I will be visiting locations in Devon and Somerset identified with various branches of Devon WHEATONS and wanted to give you a tentative list of locations we may visit and their connection to the various WHEATON […]
Colorful Chart of L2 downstream SNPS

One of our L2 friends took Rich Rocca’s chart and made it into this spiffy Graphic. The WHEATON group B and allied lines are the FGC 22501 and FGC 22538 the third column from the right. As we do further testing we should be able to make further progress. This looked to me like Christmas […]
I Have Updated Our Group Results
Posted on November 10, 2014 Leave a Comment
From the Last post I have been inspired to update our colors for groupings I have updated our FTDNA results page here. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Wheaton/default.aspx?section=ycolorized Please note a very interesting result for our member James Lewis Wheaton whose ancestor is from Gornalwood, Sedgly, Staffordshire, England b. 1770 He appears to be a distant match with Group B […]
POST NEOLITHIC ORIGINS of WHEATON GROUPS
Posted on November 9, 2014 Leave a Comment
In case you haven’t noticed I love maps and I love tracing the paths of our ancestors. During the recent Family Tree DNA conference Michael Hammer’s presentation was on the Post Neolithic Expansion of Haplogroup R-M269 in Europe. I have adapted one of his slides to show how WHEATON groups A, B, C and D […]
What Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) does and how it works to help us
Posted on November 6, 2014 Leave a Comment
Next Generation Sequencing is only about a year old and is being used for complete sequencing (full genomes) and for sequencing just the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome contains YSTRS, YSNPS, and mtDNA. Whether you test a Big Y at FTDNA or a Y PRIME or ELITE at Full Genomes Corporation this new sequencing process […]
More on Ancient Population studies connected to WHEATONS All groups

I wanted to share with you this map based on the project “Peoples of the British Isles” (POBI). This is based on genetic (atDNA) testing of people who had 4 grandparents born in the UK within several miles of each other. This map shows the composite origins of their DNA by region. They are approx. […]
WHEATON GROUP B Full Y “ELITE” Results and discussion
Posted on November 2, 2014 Leave a Comment
Well it was a long time coming, but worth the wait. ANCIENT CONNECTIONS First of all a little review. We have been standing at R-U152 L2* for a long time. Even with a Walk Through the Y we failed to yield any downstream (closer to present) SNPS although we did turn up one private SNP […]
