SNP Test, May 2009, R1b1b2a1a4 L1- L11+ L23+ L48+ L49+ M269+ P107- P310+ P311+ P312- U106+ U198-
Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b1b2a1a4 U106+ L48+

DNA Map: http://www.familytreedna.com/(0mpnwk55bht04y450p4rzub3)/deepclade.html#deepR1b
Four sub-clades of R1b are derived from the repeats of DYS markers 390 and 391. The most common sub-clade is known as the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (AMH) with values of 24/11. The AMH is most common along the Atlantic coast from Spain to Scotland.

The Anglo-Saxon sub-clade of R1b will have values of 23/11. If one's known ancestry is in the British Isles and one has R1b of this sub-clade, the odds are tilted against that being an "indigenous" R1b and toward being a NW European continental R1b brought to the British Isles by one of the historic invader/immigrant groups from Brussels, Holland, NW Germany, and Denmark. This tilt should be incorporated into all the other surname and related information you have about origins of your R1b. This represents Anglo/Saxon England populations after the Roman occupation ended in 410 AD but before the Norman/Viking populations in the early 1000's AD. This 23/11 Haplogroup is known as North Sea Baltic.

DYS repeats of 24/10 are found throughout Europe and repeats of 23/10 are slightly higher in SE Germany and into Austria.

Extended marker testing for on e member indicates DYS492 =13 which in nearly all cases indicates a positive result for S21/U106. It is most likely that the haplogroup for this family is R1b1b2a1a4.

In August 2007, EthnoAncestry tested member 25104 confirming the SNP for DNA Haplogroup R1b1c9 S21+
AE 1836 R1b1c9* S21+ S26- S28- S29- (Dr. James F Wilson)
This SNP is found mainly in the Nordic and Jastorf culture areas along the North Sea:

A distribution map of S21 Y chromosome is included in the photo below. (FTDNA = U106 in 2008)

NOTE: Dr. James Watson, one of the two scientist who discovered DNA in 1953 is also R1b1c9: (P25+ R1b1), (M269+ R1b1c), (S21+ R1b1c9)

April 2008, FTDNA runs SNP Test for rs34276300 on the S21+ R1b1c9 member. The results are negative (rs34276300-) for this YDNA SNP. This is considered ancestral for this SNP.

May 2008, R1b1c9 renamed to R1b1b2g S21+ AKA U106+ rs16981293+
October 2008, FTDNA renamed this Haplogroup to R1b1b2a1 U106+

The maps on this page include Nansemond Co. VA in 1697 along the Sumerton River. Notice the change in state boundaries on one of the Nansemond Co. maps. The next map reflects the area of Wayne Co. NC. NOTE the "Boyett" community on the Wayne County 1895 map.

The common ancestor of matching members from this group is Sarah Boyte and John Ballard of Dobbs/Wayne Co NC abt. 1755.
