My Oxford Ancestors Y chromosome results

[Óttar]

The packet I got from Oxford Ancestors says I carry a Y-chromosome recognised as being of probable NORSE VIKING origin. Then it has boxes reading thusly (top/bottom) (19/14, 388/14, 390/22, 391/10, 392/11, 393/13, 389i/9, 389ii-i/16, 425/12, 426/11, 385a/13, 385b/15, 437/16, 438/10, 439/12), if those mean anything. (:confused:)

in the lower right corner it has: Y 19334 H

H indicates high probability.

The "Tribes of Britain" portion is affiliated with Brian Sykes who wrote Saxons, Vikings, and Celts and says the Y chromosome is from the clan of WODAN according to, I guess, his system for identifying the progenitors of genes or some such. I know some of you guys here (Os, *cough*) don't like him.

Doesn't say anything about R1a or R1b and that stuff.

:suomut:

Don't they explain it all on their website or brochure or whatever??!?!

I just googled some of those numbers, hoping they'd be a mutation number, and synonymous for the haplogroups we usually hear about, but ... nada. :(

It asks for Haplogroup. I didn't get anything about R1a or R1b or whatever, so I don't know what to do with these numbers.

You should have gone with ftDNA or better 23andMe.


Clan Wodan is Y-DNA haplogroup I and since they stated that it was of Norse origin I assume it's I1a.

Brian Sykes is the only one who uses this terminology, no?

[Pallantides]

Yes, I would have named Y-DNA I, clan Ivar!:p

You are haplogroup I1, you can see here the matches with your DYS numbers :

their glossary (http://www.oxfordancestors.com/content/view/23/41/) is elementary.
