Due to new EU regulations, the default settings in your “Privacy & Sharing” options have changed to limit sharing your DNA results with other project participants. To overcome those limitations, please: Hover the cursor over your name in the upper right hand corner of the initial FTDNA screen & select “Privacy & Sharing” > “Project Preferences” then click the box after “I allow all current administrators of this project the following access to my account.” Then, for EACH project in which you are a member, click “Edit,” select the “Grant Full Access” option > “Accept” > “Confirm” > “OK” Hover the cursor over your name & select “Privacy & Sharing” then select “Matching” to “All Levels” & check “Consent to Participate in Matching” To maintain participant privacy, I refer to test takers by their kit # rather than by their given name. If you want to contact a project participant, please inform me & I will seek permission from that participant to reveal his name & e-mail address to you. To date, 3 Haplogroups are associated with the Broach/Broatch surname. Results are clustered by those Haplogroups. It appears there are 2 Broach genetic clans which share a similar surname but are unrelated–those in Haplogroup C vs. those in Haplogroup I1 & I2b. So far, Broatches from Haplogroup C share a common surname spelling & generally claim Scotland as their ancestral home. Broaches from Haplogroup I1 assert descent from the UK A sub category of Haplogroup I1 can prove a pedigree to a specific ancestor, Abner Broach. The balance of those in Haplogroup I1 may be related to 1 of the following Broaches who lived in VA during the mid-1700s– Benoni, Charles, George, James, Jones (Jonas?) & possibly Thomas. There is little information about the Broach in Haplogroup I2b.
