Hi folks.
I've analysed the Big Y data, visually checking all the SNPs that are not shared by both men.
Mark has 7 SNPs (shown in his private variants list) that are currently unique amongst all Big Y testers. None of these are present in Wesley (all give clear, negative reads).
Similarly, Wesley has 6 "private variants" but two of these are very close together and I'd view them as a single event, so that makes 5 unique SNPs for Wesley.
Any age calculation based on a sample size of two is extremely unreliable but would go as follows:
Average of 6 SNPs x 2.5 generations = 15 generations
6 SNPs x 85 years ~500 years
AD1950 - 500 = AD1450 for the very approximate year of birth of the shared ancestor.
As I mentioned, this date cannot be relied upon and might be wildly inaccurate but it does suggest that this Reynolds connection might go back a long way. We could narrow things down further by testing more members of this line, especially if we had paper genealogy - for example, if Mark had a distant cousin who shared one of his "unique" SNPs we'd know that the Mark/Wesley ancestor was older than that connection.
It's also a long time since your Reynolds line last connected with anyone else in R-U198 who has Big Y tested so far. Even the likes of Roberts are pre-surnames connections, probably a millennium old at least, and can be discounted.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes,
John |
