Updated DNA Chart
Dear Paisley family Big Y-DNA participants and/or account managers:
Attached is the updated Big Y chart. All test results are in and no adjustments were made by FTDNA. If you see any typos, please let me know.
I added boxes with the Haplogroup, Named Variants, or Private Variants. These are mainly for me to see without having to access accounts when a question arises. The order of the variants is random – FTDNA doesn’t know the correct order until more people test and they can separate and assign.
What we have learned from our Paisley DNA project:
1) Our Paisley ancestor took the surname of Paisley at least by the year 1485.
2) Our Common Ancestor in the fifteenth century had at least 2 sons that produced sons, with multiple paternal lines having continued to the present day.
3) The Y-37 or Y-111 test told us that we were all connected, but the Big Y tells us when and how.
4) We can stop trying to tie certain Paisley lines to a Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) in the USA! The answers lie in Northern Ireland or Scotland.
The attached chart was constructed on a 22×14 inch document (on-screen). It will print on legal size paper if you tell it to print-to-fit the size paper in tray.
If you have any questions, please contact me!
