About us

December 2020
Four Prunty* representing Prunty, Printy and Prentice Variants are all of the R-M269 Haplogroup making this the most common origin in the project. I is also representative but only for Prunty so far.

August 2013

New research from ScotlandsDNA, an ancestry testing company found a Y chromosome marker arising amongst the direct ancestors of the Picts. Dr Jim Wilson said this was the “first evidence that the heirs of the Picts are living among us”. 
After testing this new fatherline marker labelled R1b-S530 in more than 3,000 British and Irish men, Dr Wilson discovered it is ten times more common in those with Scottish grandfathers than those with English ­grandfathers. A total of 170 men living in Scotland have been found to carry this marker, although the number is likely to be far higher. About 3 per cent of men in Northern Ireland carry the ­lineage, but it was only seen once in more than 200 men from the Republic of Ireland. My Y DNA is haplogroup I. So either HON is wrong about the Prunty's Pictish ansestry, Scotlands DNA is wrong with it's marker representing the picts, or there was a non paternal event on my line since Or there was genetic variance among the Picts.....Time and essentially more participants in this group will reveal the answer.
