DNA Research #DNA Conceptual Guidance On Y111 YDNA Haplogroup Interpretation #dna
Adam Cherson
Dear Genetic Genealogists,
I would like to ask the actual geneticists about something I am encountering in my live research with the J-S12192 set of sub-branches. In order to help explain this I have made available an image of the current FTDNA haplotree for this region: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2vadr6o9eymufw/S12192_yDNA7or8_08NOV2019.JPG On the chart I've highlighted my family's yDNA group in gray and the other groups in yellow. As shown there, our family is matching persons in haplogroups from sister branches as closely, or sometimes even more closely, than persons in our own haplogroup. I have two questions relating to the tree shown: 1) what could it mean that there are such close Y111 distances between persons in haplogroups across sister branches? 2) what could it mean the there is such a large gap of time between the estimated formation of J-S12192 circa 210 CE and the formation of J-ZS2375 circa 1080 CE, followed by the rapid fire formation of so many sub-groups of J-ZS2375? I look forward to hearing some guidance. Please feel free to contact me for additional details if needed. Adam Cherson NY, NY
