SNP Tracker Tool

[Paul333]

Paul,

I am running several Y700 test in the US and UK for this Haplogroup:

Boyt: SNP Tree
Updated from F-M89 to: H-L901 H-P96 H-Z19080 H-SK1180 H-SK1182 H-Y20839 H-BY37188 H-BY37194





When I get the age on SNP Tracker for the most recent one BY37194 it show 83 years before present, that I understand. Then it shows 260% confidence, that sounds good, I think? and 1900CE. Is the 83-1900CE a date range?

Researching this line on the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset (home of ancient stone workers/marblers back to Saxon time and before): https://pbase.com/daveb/purbeck

Hi Geo Tracker,
I see the Boyd etc references on the FTDNA Y H Project, and I wish you luck with your big Y 700 tests. I see the results on the SNP Tracker, but it quite often changes, or updates.

There has been a few references regarding Y H2 in Europe recently,including Ireland where Y H2a1, was found in high status burial mounds mentioned on the Eurogenes Blog.

There are a few separate subclade's within the Y H2 P96 now, and its beginning to branch out, and show seperate groups within Y H2 P96 Haplogroup tree.

Boyd is in fact a Scottish surname, but the others, Boyatt,Boyett,and Boyt seem to have more of a french ring about them, but they may all also stem from Boyd, as they seem to be related by the YH2 haplogroup, and having a lot of common STR, markers.

Regarding progress, Its just a frustrating waiting game, but Eurogenes has indicated there are Ancient European papers due out soon, so fingers crossed.

Thank you Paul333, our current research has focused on the early Boyte families on the ancient Isle of Purbeck along the English Channel. All of our UK members are from this area. We have located Boyte records dating back to the 1400's and they were stone workers known as "Marblers" with unique customs and currency in the area of Corfe Castle and Swanage. The "Order of Marblers" have history back to Roman and Saxon times (mining the Purbeck Marble) and some records of the order indicate that many workers were Phoenicians. Some artifacts have been located in both Cornwell and Dorset coastal areas that could support trade of tin, clay and coal ("coal money") with the Phoenicians. Just need to find some of that H2 in the ancient remains, but more likely to find only mtDNA. Purbeck's geography made it very issolated from the rest of England and most contact with the outside was along the coast. Allied families by marriage were Haviland and Cockram/Cockerham and maybe Pitt. The marble was shipped from areas near Swanage to larger ports such as Poole. The original name appears to be Boyt/e with the other spellings much later in areas outside Purbeck. The Y500-Y700 testing has certainly moved us very quickly from F-M89 to: H-L901 H-P96 H-Z19080 H-SK1180 H-SK1182 H-Y20839 H-BY37188 H-BY37194 and other changes are certain to occur as we do more Y700 testing.

I know the area very well, I spent some time at Bovington camp, and often visited Lulworth Cove, Swanage,etc, even done a bit of sailing there, beautifull part of the South coast.

A lot of history in that area. The camp is only two miles from the home town of Wool, one of our tested families.

One of the ancient Purbeck boundaries was the River Frome located between Camp Bovington and Wool. Map of 1645: https://pbase.com/daveb/image/170707653

My path is peculiar considering my Y-DNA and my closest matches are from Northwest England into Southwest Scotland and Ireland. What is curious is that besides Germans the primary continental group I share my branch with are Czechs. I wonder if given an older connection with a Pole that my U152>L2>Z49 branch may have originated in the east? Tough to determine with the later historical presence of Germans in the east I suppose. If the branch was from the east originally I wonder how they wound up along the Rhine and eventually into Britain.
