Anyone good at interpreting Y marker matches? I searched for my matches, and mainly just have Y12 matches. So I really dont know what the distance represents. One of the closer Y12 matches was a Greek with distance of 2, surname Margaziotis. Where is this surname common? Also, what would a TMRCA of a Y12 match at a distance of 2 be?

Alternatively, I also had Y37 matches at a distance of 5 and 6. I would appreciate assistance of how to interpret this as well.

Where's the Slavs? Even Rethel has y-dna matches from Serbia.

Oh I definitely have alot of those as well. Ranging from England to Ireland and Scandinavia Russia Finland Poland Bulgaria Greece. the distance gap is wider though. like 3-6. The ones I posted were closer. But I dont understand how it works. How is a Y37 at a distance of 5-6 closer than a Y12 at a distance of 2?

I don't get it. You're missing a lot of markers in the second post.

This is why I ask. I did Ysearch for my matches at the Y12 and Y37 level and these are the matches that came up. For instance these are Y12 matches at a distance of 1. Idk what this means or how to interpret it. The unknowns are a Worrel, Baxter, and Bridges. The German Sample is a Groff and the USA sample is a Bridgers.

I see. Look at this from ftdna regarding 12 marker matches. Is it accurate? Dont know.

Well if thats anything to go by it seems rlly odd that i would match a German only a few generations back. Assuming distance of one. But I thought Y37 matches are closer? 24x30 roughly 720 years or so. Assuming 24 generations on a y12 level. but that doesnt explain the distance for each y12? I am so confused lmao.

It is accurate. 3/4 of Europe's population died during the Black plague and that wasn't so long ago, man. Like 720 years ago. Only the strong and lucky survived and unfortunately Poland was spared.

The Black death only killed one-third of Europes population over a 5 year process. not counting the rise in population over that time as well. 3/4 is exaggerated.

That's what you think...

Well we're both wrong. It was little more than half.

This is actually pretty helpful in trying to make sense of it.
