16 MAY surnamed families with R1b DNA
Through DNA we have identified 40+ May surnamed Families.
Of these, 20 are Haplogroup R1b. (there is a chart in previous blog post)
The index cards, for this May families 16 are listed in here and 4 in the previous blog post
Just to give a perspective. R1b haplogroup, is quite common on the Atlantic area of Europe.
It was found from what today is Spain, France, up to the British Isles. And from there, to the center of the continent...up to Germany and Switzerland. In areas as the West of Ireland and West of England and Scotland, is up to 98% of todays population. Now days, the test is able to identify more branches and R1b is sort of a general group who are the descendants of a very distant Ancestor.
The Family number
All May surnamed participants on the MAY DNA project are assigned a number, as they joined. I am following that number. When you look for the results of your DNA, they will have information about other May families you Matched. The number of your "MAY family DNA group" is the Lowest number, or the number of the first person who tested for his group.
To the best of my ability, there are in DNA Marker order (I will post a chart of it later).
Family 52
Family 11
Family 99
Family 4A
Family 44
Family 19
Family 63
Family 66
Family 3
This is my own May family. I decided to go for a Deep Clade DNA test, and it indicated that there was an ancestor in the North Atlantic part of the Irish Island....about 5 thousand years ago.
Other test from other May surname and non May, that matched our family also have family history of being from Ireland from the 1850th's. As our family, still one of the oldest and we were in Virginia since 1780, this only indicates, that there were recent family in Ireland.
Family 88
Family 28
Family 8
