12 Marker Test (Y-DNA12)

This test is the world standard to verify the Y chromosome for genetic matches between males. Among individuals with identical results their Most Recent Common Ancestor (MCRA) has the probability of occurring in the following timeframes: within 7 generations, 50% likelihood; within 23 generations, 90% likelihood; within 29 generations, 95% likelihood.

Our results indicate that we are in the Haplogroup: R1b1b2. A Haplogroup is a genetic population group associated with early human migrations and which can today be associated with a geographic region. It is important to note that even though female and male haplogroups may have the same letters, their definitions are different. Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial age 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype indicating ancestor most likely from England.
