L1358 Discovered in Group B Walk Through the Y
Posted on December 21, 2012 Leave a Comment
As all of you know by now (but some future readers might not), our sponsorship of Jerry’s “Walk Through the Y” was successful in the discovery of a brand new, never before identified mutation on the Y chromosome called L1358. The schematic shown below is from Thomas Krahn’s Y Chromosome browser showing the precise location […]
WHAT A YEAR IT’S BEEN!

Here’s what we have accomplished this year: WE went from 17 to 37 MEMBERS at FTDNA and many more overall! WE went from a presumed 2 Wheaton groups to SEVEN with FOUR of those Groups tracing roots to DEVON! WE have proof the name had not a single origin but likely many. WE have 3 […]
GENO 2.0 First Thoughts
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 […]
Too Much News so just a quick ROUND-up

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
Posted on December 9, 2012 Leave a Comment
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?

Susan I have taken the liberty of posting your comment directly to the Blog. Cause for celebration.

Lewis’s father […]
Devon at the time of the Domesday in 1086
Posted on November 18, 2012 1 Comment
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 […]
