According to the research carried out by the North Sea Baltic Group found that people with DYS values at 390 and 391 of 23 and 10 are likely to belong to a new R1b subclade originating from south east Germany and into Austria. This is probably subclade R1b1c10 or S28. From this we can put forward that my family followed the following genetic odyssey:
East Africa > West Asia > Iberia > South East Germany/ Austria (La Tene Celts) > Denmark (Cimbri or Tuetones tribes) > Danelaw/England > Spain (at present)
My Celtic origins are further supported by my blood group type A- which is found frequently among Celtic peoples - source David Boyett (1)
This is further supported by the following research carried out by EhtnoAncestry who in 2005 announced the new subclade of R1b1c10. Although the sample survey was small they found that S28 is found from Greece westward to the Bay of Biscay in France. 'It appears to follow the distribution of the La Tene Celtic peoples. One branch appears to have moved north to Jutland (as the Cimbri or Teutones nation / tribe) and south eastern Norway possibly during the bronze age. To date all findings from Britain are only from locations known to be settled by the Norse (e.g. Orkney) and Danes (e.g., English Danelaw) probably during Viking times. The percentages here are much less than found in the Alps. It has yet to be found anywhere in Ireland or Spain. Northern Italy seems to be a meeting place for both S21 and S28. Like S21 S28's specifications were not officially published by EthnoAncestry ; but was subsequently identified independently (as their "U152") by Sims et al (2007).' (2)
Finally, I have been comparing my data to the databases of YSearch, Relative Genetics and SMGF and have come up with some interesting finds. Overall, I am finding that many of the of the people with whom I have a close match come from the areas above. I have found close matches from, south Germany, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, France, Switzerland, England, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
All this supports that my own genes are in this subclade, but it could be another subclade, for example, R1b1c11. David Boyett has recently informed me that at least one company is carrying out further testing later this year. Maybe that will shed further light on my subclade group. As soon as possible, I will look for people confirmed as Rb1c10 and compare their results to mine. (DTB 27 June, 2007).
The subclade groups have been further modified recently and based on Y-Search (and David Boyett) I am probably in the group R1b1b2. Further information of this group can be found at Wikipedia.
(DTB 10 October, 2008).
I have received the results from FamilyTreeDNA and reassuringly they are the same as Sorensons (results above). However, the deep clade test confirmed my subclade as R1b1b2a1a or R-U106+ (Old Rb1c9 and S21). This tells me that my genetic voyage has been slightly modified. My ancestors entered Europe as the group R1b and retreated south during the last ice age. However, how and when they moved (back) into Britain is now another matter.
