[Satem]

Dębowierzchy - small village not far from place I live. I don't know how when did they move there, they were peasants and they were living all their live there until few generations back.

According to the e-state sources, the oldest known paternal ancestor of mine was born in Xinis, Erzurum in 1874.
The district was called as Xnunis (խնունիս) in 950 AD by Armenians and Tondrakians were living there.
In 20th century, the population was predominantly Armenian and Turk with partially Kurds.
His name was Kasım so he was most likely a Turk.

Earliest recorded paternal ancestor is from the 1790s in the same village in County Offaly my father grew up in, with the same birth name as my father.

I know that paternal line has been in the same area for 1000+ years; maybe 1500 years. It comes from the Southern Ui Neill of the Early Middle Ages, one of the dynasties of the Connachta, and Niall of the Nine Hostages as the story goes.

Before that it's probably been in Ireland or Britain since the earliest Bell Beakers arrived, and ultimately came from the Eastern European Steppes. The earliest known examples of R1b are from Mesolithic Europe.

A village in NE Bosnia, same village where all known paternal ancestors were born. He should have been born in the mid-early 1700s.

[Maintenance]

Rome and Vendel

[Mr.G]

N-Y17696. He was born in 1875 in Ungvar, Hungary but the city is now located in Ukraine and called Uzhhorod.

My surname is a place name, so I assume my line lived there before Ungvar.

[Ion Basescul]

Mine is from Sirota, Moldova, and I can only trace it to the 1920s, because my grandpa lost his parents in a car accident as a kid and being the only child was raised by his grandparents. So understandably, not a lot of people asked my grandpa about his past, hence I don't know much about his ancestors.
My grandpa and great-grandpa identified as Romanian/Moldovan, but their the village is historically recorded as being Ruthenian.
"SÂROTA, ruseşte Sirota, de la cuvântul rus „orfan", sătuc, în jud. Orhei, în valea Cohâlnicului, spre V. de centrul volostei Chiprieni. Are 33 case, cu o popu-laţie de 198 suflete, ţărani ruteni."

My line is I-PH908 and I'm negative for all known sub-branches below it.
