About us
The members represent four ancestral groups and two distinct Haplogroups E1b1b1a1 and R1b1b2. Using Variance as a probability theory the Variance Utility designed by Ken Nordtvedt predicts a common ancestor for all R1b1b2 members in the project to have a common ancestor 2192 years ago or 184 B.C.

Whether in imitation of the Norman lords, or from the great convenience of distinction, the use of fixed surnames arose in France about the year 1000; came into England sixty years later, or with the Norman Conquest; and reached Scotland, about the year 1100. Origin of Surnames
Haplogroups in green have been confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the individual’s personal page.
1.(Kit 52277) Pennsylvania O’Dair test completed 1-June-2006. Oldest known relative, James O’Dair born between 1755-1760 unknown origin, died between 1830-1840 in Pennsylvania. Specific Haplogroup Identified with deep snp test as E1b1b1a1a* V12+ for this family. This is the V12+ map location. The E3b Haplogroup type represents about 2.5% of the population in the British Isles and 0.5% in Ireland. The O’Dair name was known to exist in Mid-Ulster region in Ireland between 1550-1700. Based on best known information to date, the haplotype is northeastern Egypt in origin, with a haplotype age of 15.2ky with a deviation from 18.0ky to 12.5ky. The origination point center of diffusion for V12+ is located in the area of the ancient cities of Abydos and Luxor (Ancient city of Thebes) in Egypt on the Nile river. It most likely arrived in the European gene pool via south central Europe in the Mediterranean or Iberia from north Africa. Time Most Recent Common Ancestor for ancient ancestry with historical migration theory.

Y DNA HAPLOGROUP TYPES IN THE PROJECT
Haplogroup Definition: A genetic population group associated with early human migrations and which can today be associated with a geographic region. It is important to note that even though female and male haplogroups may have the same letters, their definitions are different. Haplogroups represent the clustering of certain haplotypes together into lineages determined by mutations tested in the SNP test. These are all mutations of the Y chromosome that have occurred just once in human genetic history. All male descendants of these individuals bear the same mutation and all are descended from the same common male ancestor. Another use of haplogroups is to identify possible genetic sources for ancient cultures and migrations, although admixtures of types are common within any ethnic group. Within each haplogroup there are further divisions called "subclades." Haplogroups are "branches" of the Y chromosome tree, whereas subclades represent "twigs" on those branches.

R1B1 HAPLOGROUP
R1b1 Haplogroup R1b1 is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. It was concentrated in refugia in southern Europe and Iberia. It is especially common in the west of Ireland where it approaches 100% of the population. This haplogroup contains the Atlantic modal STR haplotype.

"L" numbers are allocated by Thomas Krahn, at his convenience and discretion. One can see which "L" numbers he has allocated by visiting his Y-Chromosome Browser. Having an "L" number allocated often means that he is planning on investigating the SNP, but is no guarantee, and carries no implication that it will ever be placed in the Y-tree or offered for sale.There certainly would not be any change in existing nomenclature until if and when the SNP is determined to be non-private and placed into the Y-tree.
