About us

 

2007 Summary

  • We have several different haplogroups represented in our Quaker ancestors, and many different locations throughout England and Wales. We had a great first year!

2008 Summary

  • The British Quaker haplogroups now include G, I1c and I1b, J1, J2e1, and the most common group for Great Britain as a whole--R1b1b2.

2009 Summary

  • British Quaker haplogroups are diverse. GENERAL groups include: E1b1b1, G, I1, I2, J1, J2a, J2b, L, Q, R1a1, and R1b1b2. Several of these have subgroups (e.g., R1b1b2, J2a, etc.). You can see the exact haplogroups represented by going into the Y-DNA results tab. R1b1b2 (all subgroups) still dominates as the major haplogroup overall. The I1 and I2 groups (including subgroups) are common, followed by J1 and J2 (including subgroups), R1a1, and E1b1b1. So far only one G, one L, and one Q1a3.
