New Ysearch L21 Hits

[rms2]

I found some new R-L21s in Ysearch this evening:

Bellieres EJY2Q     France

Brin R8N3D     France

Baumgartner 8WWGT     Switzerland

Hadmyr 6AAQV     Sweden

Issenmann 69BSD     Germany

Jacobsen N6J7R     Germany

Ringen JG937     Germany

Funny that we should get three in Germany all at once. According to Myres, we shouldn't have all the German L21s we have.

I emailed all these folks and invited them to join the R-L21 Plus Project.

The bad part is, thus far, only one of those guys, Baumgartner, has joined the project.

Are any of these guys in the German Language Area project?  I'm now their resident "R1b' co-admin.

I don't believe any of them are.

. . .

It occurred to me when I saw Jacobsen that it is not really a German surname, but that is not unusual, since the Danish/German border has fluctuated throughout the centuries.

Hadmyr (Ysearch 6AAQV) of Sweden has joined the R-L21 Plus Project. He has no matches at all at 12, 25, and 37 markers (he only has 37 markers tested).

His ancestor came from northeast of Kristianstad n southern Sweden.

Hadmyr (Ysearch 6AAQV) of Sweden has joined the R-L21 Plus Project. He has no matches at all at 12, 25, and 37 markers (he only has 37 markers tested).

His ancestor came from northeast of Kristianstad n southern Sweden.

The area around Kristianstad, where some of my ancestors also lived,  was part of Denmark from the Viking age until the 17th century, when it ceeded to Sweden by Denmark after a war. Not that it makes an enormous difference.

Yeah. When L21 was first discovered some small minds decided that no matter where it is found, it must be British or Irish.

Meanwhile, a certain other P312+ clade that is actually rare in Scandinavia must be "Viking".

Boing!

Brin, Ysearch R8N3D, has joined the R-L21 Plus Project.

Issenmann, Ysearch 69BSD, has joined the R-L21 Plus Project.

Turns out the ancestral surname is Eisenmann, and his ancestor was born in Colmar in Alsace in what is now France.

I found a couple of interesting new R-L21s in Ysearch today (new only because I hadn't noticed them before): Legrand, FCCFK, and Rojas, YAQYP.

Legrand is pretty obviously a French surname, although its owner apparently cannot get his y line out of Canada, and Rojas is a Spanish surname, although, similarly, its owner cannot get his y line out of Mexico.

I emailed both of them and invited them to join the R-L21 Plus Project.
