Posted on December 14, 2012 Leave a Comment
Three of our project members that I know of have taken the GENO 2.0 and one has results. Of the over 12,000 Y-DNA SNPs tested Mr. Mallenby is positive for 447. That really doesn’t mean much in itself but it does show why FTDNA is no longer recommending the Deep Clade Testing as this test […]

Those with Genographic 2.0 are getting there results including many more SNPS. As yet not sure what it all means as the Phylogenic trees do to reflect all these new SNPs yet. Thank you to Thomas and Terry for keeping me posted. We also have new results for Geoffrey which show that he and the […]

REVOLUTION in the Y-DNA Tree

Thanks to Thomas’ question posted below and Adam’s reply it looks like the Y-DNA Phylogenic Tree is in upheaval and headed for MAJOR revisions. Let’s review the basics. The Y-DNA starts with the Proverbial Adam and each time there was a major mutation that determined a different branch of the Y tree. In our Project […]

Does anyone know why the National Geographic Geno 2.0 project is not releasing any male results at the present? That was the word I received back when I inquired why my results were taking so long to complete?

Since so many of our Wheaton/Wheadons etc. harken from Devon I thought perhaps you might like a snapshot of Devon at the time of the Domesday Book about the year 1086. Yes a long time ago. Approximately 9-10,000 farms of which approximately 8,500 were small outliers worked by “villeins” (bonded peasants) About 1200 Manor houses […]

Wheadons in Newfoundland, Canada
Posted on November 15, 2012 1 Comment
Our family name is Wheadon, though I have seen several variations of the spelling in earlier times. The only records we have seen containing the name are parish records and in one instance a Voter’s List. Of course, during my years of research in genealogy I have come to realize that many names have been spelled whichever way […]
