R-L21* Walk The Y Project

[Mikewww]

The Irish type III is an older group, correct? If so, this could produce a larger group of down stream positives.

I think it is, but I'm not really sure.   The Irish TIII site has this info on the WTY participant - Ysearch -

9DJ2R:
    1. Matched the Irish Type III modal at 25 markers.
    2. Was an O'Brien, the principal family of the Dalcassians.
    3. Could demonstrate his pedigree originated in Co. Clare, Ireland.
    4. Had tested 76 markers

They think the whole cluster is related to the Dalcassians.  Here is some info on that:

The Dál gCais (also Dal Cais or the Dalcassians) were a dynastic group of related septs located in north Munster who rose to political prominence in the early medieval era in Ireland. They are desceded from Cormac Cas, or Cas mac Conall Echlúath, hence the term "Dál", meaning "portion" or "share" of Cas. In later times, for reasons of political expediency, they claimed descent from the ancestor of the Eóganachta Kings of Munster, Oilliol Olum (also known as Ailill Aulom).

Here is a paper on Irish TIII

I got my WTY results, I think.  There was a new entry on the FTDNA site in the Y-DNA block that said Walk the Y.  Some spreadsheets to download - no information - no notification.

For $750 I sure did not receive anything in the way of a nice statement about what the test entailed, ad nauseum.  Or what the test results meant.

And my group (null 425's) did not come up with a new and miraculous SNP.  Somehow, I'll survive.

On the bright side, the spreadsheet shows the results all SNP tests know to man (or at least known to FTDNA) at the time of my testing.

And I just got an offer to get tested by FTDNA for L226, even though I just got results from the WTY that I am L226-.  I hope they realize that they tested me as L159- already when they send out the next notice.

I do actually like FTDNA, but they leave a lot to be desired in the details area.

So you are L226- and L159-.   Are L192- and L193-?   Also on L69, did they give you a result.

L69-
L130-
L144-
L159-
L192-
L193-
L195-
L226-
L96-

you already have the first two results on your spreadsheet.

Any others?  My WTY results has a couple hundred SNP's

The Scot's Brother results are in.

No new SNPs and negative for L226, L159 and L69 together with all the others in the advanced L21 bucket with the exception of L144 and L195 which weren’t included.

I don't know if there is anything in the Scot's Brothers values, there are very few people who look like they may fit into it, and without an SNP to prove a relationship I'm fairly well stuffed with researching it anyway so I shall have to think of something else to worry about.

BTW I had some MtDNA results come back as well, anybody know why FTDNA would have looked at these in the WTY?
