Some
time ago, we were contacted by the administrator of the Beatty
project. Apparently, 6 (now 7) of our participants could have an
ancestor named Beatty (or a large number of Beattys could have a
Winders ancestor). They are the ones which combine DYS389i = 14,
DYS448 = 18 and DYS442 = 11. If you look at the DNA
test results for our project, you will see these marker
names heading the columns. These alleles (markers) are each a bit
rare and the combination is distinctly rare. A large group in the
Beatty Project has a common ancestor who lived in the border region
between England and Scotland about 1300-1500. This Beatty family is
part of a larger group called the Beatty-Byrne cluster (BBC) which
had a common ancestor a few centuries earlier. Our experience tells
us that the 6 Winders men are almost certainly part of the BBC. The
BBC is in haplogroup R1b1b2a1b5, and further are positive with the
relatively new SNP, L159.2.
It appears that these Winder participants trace back to Thomas Winder (1680-1734), those being participants who descend from:
