Open to R-FGC28985+ Testers. If you think you might be positive based on your close matches, please request to join and we can screen your results. As of November 2024, there are 91 DNA tested descendants in at least 4 descendant lineages: R-FGC28995-75 DNA tested descendants (R-FT18080 and R-FGC83404) R-FT137597- 4 DNA tested descendants (R-FT135241 and 1 yet unnamed lineage) R-BY98516- 3 DNA tested descendants R-BY187539- 9 DNA tested descendants (R-BY186657, RFTB35707, and 2 unnamed lineages). Most tested descendants trace their ancestors back to Scotland with some in United States, Ireland, and England. R-FGC28985 likely originated in Scotland around 500 CE in what was then known as the Dal Riata Kingdom. Some members are projected to be R-FGC28985+ based off of STR analysis and we welcome them to upgrade to BigY700 or see where they might fit on the haplogroup tree.
