Haplogroup R1b: July 2007

AZZO: Old German name meaning "noble at birth."

Azzolina

Acelin
French

Diminutive form of Old French Asce, Ace from Old German Azzo meaning "noble; high birth." Ezzelin was the form in which it took root in Italy. Common in the 13th century, it gave rise to various surnames, such as Aslin, Ashlin, Asling, Acelet. The name is not in use anymore in France.

ACEL: Nickname for English Acelin, meaning "noble at birth."

ACELIN: English diminutive form of French Asce, meaning "little noble one."

ASCE: Old French name, derived from German Azzo, meaning "noble at birth."

AZZO: Old German name meaning "noble at birth."

ACEL: Nickname for English Acelin, meaning "noble at birth."

ACELET: Variant of English Acelin, meaning "noble at birth."

ACELIN: English diminutive form of French Asce, meaning "little noble one."

Normans, Anglo-Saxons, Norse, Longobards

In my recent study I have found a strong connection with these people:

Anglo-Saxons (with Normans)
Normans
Norse (with Normans)
Longobards (with Lombards)

Hunter Clan members and Neilson's

Many of the Hunter Clan members and Neilson's have been recorded to have come from Western Europe, Nordic and Semitic populations.

U5a1a - R1b1c6

Haplogroup U5a1a is described as "a lineage within Haplogroup U5-arose in Europe less than 20,000 years ago, and is mainly found in northwest and north-central Europe. The modern distribution of haplogroup U5a1a suggests that individuals bearing this haplogroup were part of the populations that had tracked the retreat of ice sheets from Europe.

The frequency of (R1b1c6) SRY2627 is highest in Basques, where it makes up 21% of R1b. Its R1b frequency in northern Portuguese was 2.9%. Similar values were obtained for Spanish samples. Based on very small numbers the Northern French R1b sample reached 9%. The Bavarian R1b estimate was 5%. Dutch and Belgian estimates were 2.5%. The only indication of it being present in Britain or Ireland came from Anglia where it had a frequency about 1%.

Basques: 21%
Northern Portuguese: 2.9%.
Northern French: 9%.
Bavarian: 5%.
Dutch and Belgian: 2.5%.
Britain or Ireland came from Anglia: 1%.

Ireland-Spain (R1b) and in Finland (U5) populations.

The DNA of Giovanni John Raciti is mostly found in countries/populations of:

Ireland-Spain (R1b) and in Finland (U5) populations.

Population genetics: is the study of the allele frequency distribution and change under the influence of the four evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, gene flow and selective mating.

Natural selection: I have the same haplogroup membership as my wife: U5a1a

Genetic drift:

Mutation: Y-DNA in Iberia/Spain/France (10K ago) and mt-DNA in Greece/Balkan (45K ago)

Gene flow: From Y-DNA Spain-France-Italy-Sicily and mt-DNA Greece-Sicily.

Selective mating: The same haplogroup membership as my wife: U5a1a

Nordic and Celtic DNA Project - (Saami & Iberian).

Nordic and Celtic DNA Project - (Saami & Iberian).

Project Background:

This project is open to both yDNA paternal lines and mtDNA maternal lines of Nordic and of Celtic-Iberian origins.

This project is designed to show evidence of deep ancestral patterns found within Celtic-Iberians and Scandinavian settlements throughout Europe.

The term Iberian (Celtic) people is used for those who are descendant of the Cro-Magnon and who have integrated with other European countries i.e. R1b.

The term Nordic people is used for those who have come from North Europe and who have integrated with other European countries as well as North Africa and Eastern Europe and the Near East i.e. U5.

What I am trying to find out in the project is to what extent have these two major European groups have spread through out Europe and its neighboring continents North and South America, Africa and Asia.

In the process of creating this project - I have welcomed many other halpogroups to this project. This has also helped with calculating the percentages and diversity of various cultures and different people when observing any region of Europe. This project shows how there are many more other native European halpotypes found in Europe i.e. H, K, T, U and V and how neighboring continents have shaped what makes Europe today.

The Nordic & Celtic DNA Project started back in April 2006 and now is one of the largest Family Tree DNA group that has 1389 members and growing (3rd largest Family Tree DNA group).

This project is providing us with information and evidence about the different types of European groups that exist and how these main groups have migrated to different countries / areas within Europe.

Family Tree DNA members from all around the globe can join who can show that they are grandchildren and great-grandchildren of European heritage.

Project Goals:

Our goal is to show how people of Celtic-Iberian and Scandinavian origins have integrated themselves throughout European countries.

The project is about finding out to what degree of social assimilation occurred between these groups of people throughout the history of Europe?

The focus of the project is to gather a representation of evidence and interest in Native Scandinavians and Native Celtic-Iberians found in ‘all’ parts of Europe.

Addressing the question:

To what extent did both groups help contribute to the European population today and how they got there through human migration over the centuries?

Using the genetic testing information provided in this project many people around the world with European heritage might be able to, in the near future connect biological with their Scandinavian, Germanic or Celtic-Iberian siblings and the relatives of their forefathers.
