This is great news. I saw the bee holes back when we could climb up onto the scaffolding.

When Rondo and I were in Colchester in 2019, I found something very interesting.

The Herdmanston lineage is now proven to go back to c. 1250 thanks to an affinity connection with the Lyle family. The Big Y 700 is providing us with so many breakthroughs.

Narrative VS Facts - To be clear, the narrative of a family should not be accepted as "Fact" no matter how forcibly written or spoken. The definition of "narrative" is: "a spoken or written account of connected events; a story." The facts in our DNA study are the SNPs of those who have done the deepest testing possible. These also have to be put through even further study at Yfull. Once that's done, then we can BEGIN to know the facts of the branches. Emphasis on "begin" because the surnames one matches in the Big Y are of extreme importance and cannot be overlooked, especially if these same surnames show up in reliable medieval records (the Narrative) of the family in a timeframe that matches the SNP dating of that branch. We have this in our two ancestral lineages - Caithness and Herdmanston.

We currently have over 14 lineages who are not kin within about 4,000 years at best. Some of us don't relate to other lineages for over 20,000 years.

For instance, the group I call our Herdmanston branch showed R-U106 like our Caithness branches, yet they split off to become R-M269. That mutation is believed to have split off R1b approximately 4,500 - 9,000 years ago. Those alive today carrying that mutation are found in the greatest density in Ireland (80%), Switzerland (58%), England (57%), Netherlands (54%), and interestingly France (52%).

The group I call the Caithness branch are all part of the U106 mutation. In the 2007 articles of Myres et al. and Sims et al, the people alive today carrying the U106 mutation currently live in Netherlands (35%), Austria (23%), England (20%), and Germany (19%).

These are Facts.

Great article about Norse DNA -

https://scitechdaily.com/worlds-largest-dna-analysis-of-viking-skeletons-yields-unexpected-results-about-who-they-really-were/

In the popular imagination, Vikings were fearsome blonde-haired warriors from Scandinavia who used longboats to carry out raids across Europe in a brief but bloody reign of terror. But the reality is more complex, says Simon Fraser University Archaeology Professor Mark Collard. Collard is a membe
