Kuta R-FT41761 Big-Y, FTDNA Polish, seemed to get stopped at this brick wall by SNPs in Ukraine, also, but as you can see a Bennett Greenspan seemed to get into the Ukraine. One would think he would help others to break through this ‘brick wall’. Is it the sampling of the Ukrainians causing the difficulties?

I. Andrew (Dand) Ellot of Liddesdale accused in the slaughter of Hugh Douglas, referred to as Cowie of Gorrenberry, because it was a story used when he came down from Baillie in Teviodale, to Gorrenberry east of the Hermitage Castle in Liddesdale, to visit his second son Robert Ellot from Hob Elwode, adopt syster’s son of Clement Croser, known as Clementis Hob, and helped the family, the Gorrenberry family make up a Cowie story, so they could explain the sounds made by him working during the night in which he became known as The Cowie of Gorrenberry. It is felt he lived in Teviotdale with Gilbert, referred to Dandis Gib, which was Gilbert of the Goldern Garties, which became of the Gilbert of Stobs line.

Crozier / Crosier
Clan Crozier – Clan Crozier
Clan Crozier (crosier, croser, cros, etc.) is one of the border reiving clans of Scotland, along with the Armstrongs, Elliots, and Nixons. Some sources cite the surname as a sept of the Armstrong clan, but the Scottish Parliament in 1587 identified the Croziers as a middle march clan.

Крозье / Крозье
Clan Crozier – Clan Crozier
Клан Крозье (crosier, croser, cros и т.д.) является одним из пограничных кланов Шотландии, наряду с Армстронгами, Эллиотами и Никсонами. Некоторые источники ссылаются на фамилию как на септ клана Армстронгов, но шотландский парламент в 1587 году определил Крозье как клан среднего марша.

Привет, Нил и Базз, я говорю с вами по телефону из Овальной комнаты в Белом доме, и это, безусловно, должен быть самый исторический телефонный звонок, когда-либо сделанный из Белого дома. Я просто не могу сказать вам, как мы все гордимся тем, что вы сделали.Для каждого американца это должен быть самый гордый день в нашей жизни, и для людей во всем мире, я уверен, что они тоже присоединятся к американцам в признании того, какой это огромный подвиг. Благодаря тому, что вы сделали, небеса стали частью человеческого мира, и когда вы говорите с нами из Моря Спокойствия, это вдохновляет нас удвоить наши усилия, чтобы принести мир и спокойствие на землю.В один бесценный момент во всей истории человечества все люди на этой земле поистине едины – один в своей гордости за то, что вы сделали, и один в наших молитвах о том, чтобы вы благополучно вернулись на землю.

АСТРОНАВТ АРМСТРОНГ. Благодарю Вас, г-н Председатель. Для нас большая честь и привилегия быть здесь, представляя не только Соединенные Штаты, но и людей мирных наций, людей с видением будущего. Для нас большая честь иметь возможность участвовать здесь сегодня. ПРЕЗИДЕНТ. Спасибо вам большое, и я с нетерпением жду, все мы с нетерпением ждем встречи с вами на «Хорнете» в четверг. АСТРОНАВТ АРМСТРОНГ. Спасибо. Г-н Председатель, мы с нетерпением ожидаем этого.

R-U106 formed in western Europe about 4800 years before present and about 25% of Europeans belong to that haplogroup. The ancient line of Elliotts is R-L21>L513>L193 so definitely not R-U106. These R-U106 testers in the Border Reivers group do not all come from the same family.

Various surnames like Elliott is a merged surname. The line of chiefs, Margaret is the 29th, the first ten which I seem to branch in at about the 9th with William Elwald of Gorrenberry, my many great. Many genealogists have web search ‘Google DNA’ because the true genetics genealogists do not those which tested uncapable are of the nature that genealogy is not shared, and not of a biological nature which a migratory history is contained in the Y-DNA therefore the one which carries the Y-DNA has to be accepted as and expert on that line, or it becomes the Rev Parris, and Judge Hathorne of Harvard witch hanging notoriety, which falsify the math to support a ‘status quo’ of establish history based on dictators such of Puritan Cromwell which genocide the Irish, and exported Hamiltonian Anglican Royalists as my family to the American Colony of Massachusetts as and indentured slave to these Harvard ‘status quo’ Puritans. As a Quaker I practice and insure my free speech. The Harvard types which do not accept the concept that ‘The Family Knows Best’, are self-denigrating, the ones which believe that family history though it may make alterations in nation state history and go against those which use ‘position’ in silencing people where in genealogy that belongs to those of the family and with Y-DNA in the would of DNA that belongs to the purchaser, and holder of the DNA, especially not the admin. Admin can be very destructive in an individual following their Y-DNA, the true scientists if they want to determine the migration patterns, in which shows mammals will retract there paths, and I feel the bullheaded ones retract their migration by what is in their Y-DNA history. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Liddesdale_1000_horsemen_and_footmen_Crosier,_Nixon,_Armstrong_and_Elwood_1583.jpg Elwald becomes Elwold becomes Elwood, Ellot, for the Scottish name. The Middle March Clan are Armstrong, Elliott, Nixon, and Crozier. Nixon talked to and Armstrong when he placed his step on the moon by phone. These people do not need to correct their history to match accurate application of applied DNA, other are doing it not. With long term planner, background in measuring behavior being kick off of FTDNA blogs, I know which ones are not genealogical blogs, and if someone called information coming from a family member a lie, I know they are not a genealogist. Not all Y-DNA in a given surname blog is alike. R-L193 is said to cover by James V. Elliott, less than half the Elliott. James M. Irvine was able to equate I-M253 (Viking) to Fairbairn, which is of the Fair Bear story out of Germany, onto the borders County Fermanagh, then America. https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Elliot-Fairbairn-R-M253-1024×532.jpg Being a genealogist it takes a lot of documentation to go back as far as I have, Have been doing it since Sir Arthur Eliott of Stobs was chief father of our 29th chief Margaret Eliott of Redheugh who has been chief for over thirty years. Those Havard types thinking they can determine family for others, did not recognize my research I have been putting into websites, domains I own, where I also administer. Figure that way the admin, and operator which is myself would not kick me off. They are elwald.com, and gorrenberry.com, with no ads, sharing family DNA info like my father did went he printed a distributed. People over the decade plus have been taking advantage of the information provide except those Harvard types which feel support of the nation state ‘status quo’, by silencing as symbolized in Harvard grads hanging witches in Salem. Have if they think I am lying and ignore me in the traditional manner when they ignored my many great as verified by the Y-DNA Daniel Elliott, when he referenced the accusers ‘out of sport’ is the reason they accused the Harvard Grads accepted it as I hope they will accept me in my research today, because I want the genetic scientist, and family history which will web search ‘Brigham DNA’ to utilize centuries of research between the chief and I on our families. Redheugh, and Gorrenberry with Scott and Bell were in on the rescue of Kinmont willie Armstrong from Carlisle Castle.

R-L193 is of the Elliot-Glendenning-Little-Sinclair grouping but was introduced by the St. Clare-St. Cair-Sinclair as genealogical records show. https://gorrenberry.com/elliot-glendinning-r-l193-sub-l513/ Elliott itself is a merged name. Am of the Anglo-Saxon, Elwald merged into Elwold-Elwood-Ellot (Angus Scotland). Ellot (Angus Scotland) + Eliot (Breton France) = Elliot After the Battle of Hastings, Danish-Saxon name like the Armstrong-Elliot and today the Hermitage Castle were demonized. It is of the nature of those of Harvard, and Norman values to not understand that the family especially on the Y-DNA tracing because many mammals an those referred to as ‘bulls’, can trace their migration history, but this is not acceptable by an authoritarian, when genealogy is family sharing information. If one is providing genealogical references in genealogy other genealogists snap them up which has been shown by the image queque for images from elwald.com and gorrenberry.com. Can image search Google ‘FTDNA Elliot’ or use link. https://www.google.com/search?q=FTDNA+Elliot&sxsrf=ALeKk00s_5u2Sv7_He_g44EhU9RNMO_ttQ:1623769936563&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwinyI-y9pnxAhXZJzQIHWpHDAsQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1242&bih=597 Try and see for yourself. The family knows best, DNA if one Googles ‘Brigham DNA’, will find it is a tool of the genealogists. It is easy when one is doing genealogy to tell if one is reading documented presented material, or if one behaviorally does not research line as a research genealogist, and makes conclusions on information derived by silencing the family genealogists.

click right to show enlarged image in new tab The Scott, and Elliot are Saxon of Scotland-Northumberland, in 1320 a border was placed across them. Lands of Redheugh were acquired in the late fifteenth century by the Saxon surname Elwald. Though Buccleuch towards time of Border Pacification, like to deny the existence of Elwald Elliot, and that the Gorrenberry line died off both for the Stewards which was married as third husband to a James Hepburn (Northumberland name), which acquired the estate of Bothwell, from the Douglas related also to the Scot, near Glasgow therefore was referred to by his estate name as Bothwell. At the time of Pacification the Redheugh branches and Gorrenberry said Redheugh was the land of the Elliot. Margaret Eliott of Stobs-Redheugh is the 29th clan chief, with the line being transferred from the Buccleuch hated Redheugh-Hamilton family to Stobs being the chieftain line. It is not question that the Hamilton-Gorrenberry-line, is considered dead, and the Elwald name also. When people kick me off these blogs they are symbolic in people feeling that position in society such as being a duke or king is more important then that of genealogy in which the family is the most knowledgeable, where they pitch-in their family information and puzzle it together to find family. The data which I purchased belongs to the consumer, whether in a survey of concerns of the People Freeway Model Cities region of Salt Lake City, Utah, included in the region if the Family History Library which I directed the ground work directed by the board, mainly by it’s president. Also did the ground work for a data drilling program for gypsum of National Gypsum in the Harper, Texas region.

Yes, am a retired math-science-computer instructor of AZ/NM with an ESL English as a Second Language endorsement background, Purchasing a produce and as a consumer having it denied, is like denying People Freeway use of the data they collected, or National Gypsum being denied use of there drill data, it is stealing from the consumer.

It is not only probable but there is considerable evidence that many of these people settled (Boece) about Liddesdale, where the Hendersons of Cockburn, the Elwalds of Schaw, and the Armstrongs had lands, given to them by Malcolm after the battle of Birnam Wood.

The son of David Buccleuch, Walter was there. ‘Angus’ is Archibald ‘Bell the Cat’, Angus whose heart is in a Chapel in Douglas next to James Douglas which carried the heart of Robert the Bruce, never made it to Jerusalem, but is buried at Melrose Abby. https://elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Heart-of-Douglas.jpg People which write books agreed with the norm. Which James Stewart wrote one on the Elliots; https://elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Andrew-Dand-the-Cowie-son-Andrew-Dand-the-Cow.png The Scott hid Andrew ‘Dand the Cowie’, father to Clementis Hobs, up north. He would come to visit Clementis Hobs (i.e. Clement Crozier’s sister’s son Robert Elliott), at Gorrenberry. Being a fugitive accused in the slaughter of Hugh Douglas the family made up a ‘Cowie’ story to protect them from the sounds he made. Today unlike the Armstrong which are unvanquished to the Stewart-(Scottish Ministry), I do not exist, my Y-DNA was in America, when the ‘Cowie’ died, and those related to it were also in America. https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Clementis-Hob-The-Thieves-of-Liddisdail-Ulster.jpg https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Clementis-Hobs.png So guess those which kicked me off their sites are killing the ‘Cowie’, which there family perceives does not exist. https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Clan-Eliott-stats-surname-poem.jpg Been censored from Wikipedia.

It is easy for ‘historians’, to kill off genetics and genealogy, by their position by having others do their dirty work, or if the referred to someone as a liar to do it without witnesses. Those which do not utilize extensive documentation especially for myself considering the number of generations I am going back it is needed. Silencing or claim jumping is the destructive to both the science of genetics, and the history of the family. It is the false scientist-genealogist which kicks out the ‘in-law’, searching for family. It is the true scientist that realize that my research may be a great benefit to genetics as applied to the family. If biological being can travel their DNA history then it is likely the one carrying the Y-DNA traveling down their family history being the most accurat. It is noted that the Union-Jack is the genocidal flag of the surname Armstrong and Elliott, like the Swastika is the genocidal flag of the Jews. How well can one analysis the Y-DNA if they do not carry that Y-DNA line, and they post the flag which still today is exterminating and desecrating their ancestral heritage like the Scottish Ministry the Stewart types which have vanquished my Y-DNA being of Gorrenberry.

Whatever perverse motives may have subsequently prompted the adult citizens of Salem to cry “witch” upon their neighbors, the initiators of the Salem misfortune were young girls like Abigail Williams who began playing with spirits simply for the “sport” of it, as a release from an emotionally oppressive society. A portion of the actual trial testimony given in favor of Elizabeth Proctor (John Proctor’s wife) by one Daniel Elliott suggests that initially, at least, not everyone accepted the girls’ spectral visions without question: “the testimony of Daniel Elliott, aged 27 years or thereabouts, who testifieth and saith that I being at the house of lieutenant Ingersoll on the 28 of March, in the year 1692, there being present one of the afflicted persons which cried out and said, there’s Goody Proctor.

Levin, Salem, p. 64. Like my many great Daniel Elliot refugee from the Salem Trials, by Harvard grads, is testimony of Elizabeth Proctor, as expressed by a Galicia Jew, Arthur Millers, dealing with McCarthyism. It is felt that these educated people in position have been incorrect by trying to silence me. John Hathorne (descendent to Nathaniel), Rev Samuel Parris, and Senator McCarthy self disintegrated. Try to be as accurate on things as my ancestors and my professions of behavior science, engineering, and math-science-computer instructor retired, as a second generation on the Y-DNA genealogist, with a chief compatible of Redhuegh where genealogy is passed from grandma to father to ourselves. With people kicking me off these posts which can not even recognize the value of retaining sig figs in TIP calculations. The way many blogs have destroyed genetic information given the Big Y700 is only good to those which would destroy the scientific genealogical information in support of destroying true genetic genealogy, to support status quo history by forcing the numbers to conform to it by silencing me from the use of them, an extortion of the data product from me the buyer, destroying the prospect of family and national history to conform to the genetic genealogy. If I allow these historians of status quo distorting the math and science like those Havard qrads of the Salem Trials. Note, Increase Mather president of Harvard was involved in these trials and their procedure of silencing not by hanging witches still exist to this day. The data is for the buyer, not for those which want to ‘hang witches’.

The advantage of getting the BigY test at FTDNA is that your matches can see the relationship and benefit from the results. YSEQ tests don’t do that.
Belinda Dettmann
May 15 @ 8:38pm
A Big Y700 is an exploratory test, it targets a wide region of the Y chromosome and just say “read as much as you can”. You will get a number of private (unnamed) variants that might be added to the Y-tree if another BigY match comes up with one or more of these.

As far as being a ‘lab rat’ to pseudo scientists of the Harvard type as justices which silence witches in Salem, my many great testifying in defense of Elizabeth Proctor, who lived because with child, but husband John was hung in Salem , MA as a witch,Y-DNA verified. A tactic and technique utilized by FTDNA admin by is Harvard witch trial silencing. Bennett Grenspan main founder of FTDNA has been doing genealogy as long as I since 1965. He has J-267 Y-DNA, as do the border Graham. From the borders Scott and Montgomery carry your J-M172, it is of ‘Ancient Rome’, and you are likely of a people which DNA wise with the Robson of the border guarded the English side first as Hadrian’s Wall then as the English-Scottish, but when exiled went with family to county Fermanagh, Monaghan near where my line moved to; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tullykelter_Castle, of the Daniel Elliot line. Proper science and genealogy is never done through silencing free speech. Society becomes regimental, like the Harvard grads silencing people as witches by hanging them, and applying their principals to today’s FTDNA feeds and referencing as science. It is science of a superior race like that of Adolph Hitler.

I am sure taking the Big 700 test would help me in my overall genealogy/DNA research. Are there any specific SNP tests that would help with my genealogy research, that would point me to others with the same paternal line? If there are any, would they be included in the Big 700 test?
Belinda Dettmann
August 14, 2020 @ 3:24pm
The Big Y 700 test includes all the SNPs that can be tested on the Y chromosome at present. Specific SNP Pack tests have not been updated recently so the Big Y test is your best bet. Several of your 111-marker matches have tested for individual SNPs or for Big Y so you would have a good chance of matching them.

As I recall, Stonegarthside (Scottish; Stanegarthsyde), is of the Fo(r/e)ster. The Graham placed a fish ‘garth’, on the Esk stopping the salmon from going up stream into Scotland. That and Berwick being English, taking a trade port away from the Scots, became quite controversial. The ‘garth’ is built from ‘stone’; so saying ‘stone fish garth side of Liddel Water’.

Has anyone else watched the last kingdom series on Netflix? Northumberland is often involved as the main character is from there. What I’ve enjoyed is they way they have depicted battle scenes of the times,it is timed around the Danelaw period). None of the silly malees of individual fights and the hero’s running around cutting down everyone in sight. Well ok, there is some of that. It’s Hollywood. But a lot of strategy and tactics is at least addressed. Shield walls with a lot of pushing and shoving. Most of the killing done after one side tries to retreat. This correlates to a lot of the historical accounts.

I’m showing an Arthur Graham the son of Walter Netherby Graham, born 1575 in Netherby, Cumberland, Scotland, and died 2 Nov 1635 in Gargunnock, Stirlingshire, Scotland; and Sibil Bell, born about 1555 in Largo, Fife, Scotland, and died about 1630 also in Largo, Fife, Scotland. Walter is my 10th great grandfather through his son Richard Graham. Richard’s son changed his name to Grimes because the Grahams had been outlawed.

June 7, 2020 @ 9:39am
Actually, I believe they were outlawed a couple of times. Once was from about 1476 to 1492 because of the actions of one “Long Will” Graham (William de Graham). The other time was when the Earl of Cumberland wanted the Graham lands in from 1603 to 1606. In 1606 the Grahams were exiled to Roscommon, Ireland. Roscommon had deteriorated to where it was almost unlivable so the Grahams changed their names and went back to Scotland.

Came across this in Wikipedia while doing some research on William I of Scotland: “William attempted to purchase Northumbria from Richard in 1194, as he had a strong claim over it. However, his offer of 15,000 marks (£9,750) was rejected due to wanting the castles within the lands, which Richard was not willing to give.[6]” [6] Gillingham, John (2000). Richard. p. 272.

How family members are being successful at family history; 1. The family knows best. Those which do not realize ‘The Family Knows Best’, and circumvent the family, makes a huge amount of difficulties by causing the true genealogists to correct the information back to what the family first said. 2. Listen to others, especially of the opposite sex, to make family. Though you may not think that which is coming from the opposite sex correct, the answers to what you said is reflective one and can with little skill decipher from the language, needed family information. 3. Do not in a family search, get rid of the in-laws, though you may want to. FTDNA is not a genealogical site because they are allowing administrators to kick out the in-laws. 4. Families fight, and likely not just one answer is correct, in the history. Families in their research seem to aim their research into specific region of research, giving to each other in the same family answers seemly conflicting, but so close they both come out as being correct. 5. If the family’s history is done properly one does not get to pick their ancestors. Self explanatory.

Thought you all might like this excerpt about Corbridge, Northumberland. It is from Mark Turnbull’s book “Allegiance of Blood”. “In January 1644, when King Charles I and his Parliament were at war, the royalists were fairly secure in the north. The balance of power changed dramatically when 21,000 Scottish soldiers marched over the border in support of Parliament and laid siege to Newcastle. The River Tyne became a watery border, behind which the outnumbered royalists attempted to hold back the tide. The Scots arrived in Corbridge looking for a crossing over the Tyne, and in response Sir Marmaduke Langdale and a force of royalists were sent to stop them from striking south across the bridge. On 19th February 1644, Langdale, with 25 troops of cavalry and 400 musketeers, met the Scots just outside of Corbridge on Red House Haugh (see photograph). However, Langdale’s cavalry were repulsed by the Scottish lancers. Commanded by Lord Balgonie and Lord Kirkcudbright, the Scots had fewer troops, yet made three successful charges, pushing the royalists back each time and taking 100 prisoners. The relentless advance of the Scots was only arrested when Langdale’s musketeers joined the fray, but the Yorkshireman had one other surprise up his armoured sleeve. A royalist detachment of ten troops under Colonel Robert Brandling had been sent along the southern bank of the river, and now they crossed the bridge and entered Corbridge with the intention of attacking the Scot’s rear. This best laid of plans went amiss when, ironically, Langdale’s main force finally got the better of the Scots and sent them scattering back towards Corbridge – Brandling’s detachment, far from possessing the element of surprise as they had expected, were shocked to see the Scots hurtling towards them. Brandling rode ahead of his men and challenged any one of his opponents to singular combat. Lieutenant Elliott accepted, but after exchanging pistol fire and riding at one another, Brandling’s horse stumbled, and he was taken prisoner when Elliott unceremoniously pulled him off his steed. Following this disheartening moment, Brandling’s men were vanquished and some driven into the Tyne where they drowned. The victory left the Scots free to cross the river and led to the King’s loss of the north following the royalist defeat in July 1644 at the battle of Marston Moor, near York.”

BRIGHAM (Brigham Young University BYU), is the only four year genealogical program in the United States, are producing ladies with a high understanding of how to apply genetic DNA to genealogy. They are doing it right putting the horse in front of the carriage, the genealogy is first and only, but DNA is another tool genealogist can use to find family.

They have a display on it in the museum west side of Temple Square north of The Family History Library. https://www.templesquare.com/events/utahs-suffrage-history/ The women of Wyoming did not give up the vote from my understanding, though under consideration, to become a state.

Gail Andrews Hardy T124143 This article will probably help anyone researching Scottish ancestors: https://familyhistorydaily.com/free-genealogy-resources/scottish-genealogy/?fbclid=IwAR0XTq6Z23RsX5QTA9LAZbAqjLr20hlRMp27HHpQHKCPqqk4nIyaXX9J2dE A lot of young LDS ladies are taking a high interest right now then the young LDS men, and are taking extra schooling in area genealogy which Y-DNA is to be applied. Though the men have the Y-DNA, the ladies not so much a bias on the Y-DNA because they do not carry. They start as early as Gail Andrews Hardy, and gain applied knowledge along the way. The men though they are taking so called leadership rolls, most know that genealogy does not have leadership, but is where individuals share information as Gail Andrews Hardy does. So they the Mormons know the ladies are to have the rolls of family history within the family. It helps to have someone help from outside with a different value orientation, but having almost the experience of Gail Andrews Hardy to help see it through.

Though do not think out 29th chief Margaret Eliott of Redheugh, has considered anymore raids done towards Hexham lately. The Elliot, and Nixon, consider Northumberland a part of there Border Homelands. Since my many great Clement’s Hob (Clement Crozier’s sister’s son Robert Elliot) was exiled from both Kingdoms, in 1607, never considered the kingdoms represented by the Union-Jack as home, but do consider the Armstrong, Elliott, Nixon, and Crozier as family. Had difficulties with a Nixon about a half century ago, when he tried to get rid of an Armstrong on the moon. The heart of Sir James Douglas is next to the heart of ‘Angus’ Archibald ‘Bell the Cat’ Douglas who passed the lands of Redheugh and Larriston, to chieftain Robert Elwald in the fifteenth century and now our 29th chief Margaret lives on them. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Sasine_deed_1484_for_Robert_Elwald_%28Elliot%29%2C_Redheugh%2C_Larriston%2C_Hartsgarth.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Encased_hearts_of_Sir_James_Douglas_%26_Archibald_Douglas,_St_Bride%27s_Church,_Douglas,_South_Lanarkshire.jpg The Elliot Clan by Newcastleton Primary School | Scots Language Project 2018, Mar 24, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0LvU-EISTU Margaret Eliott, likely thinks I am some sort of ‘vagabound’.

Considering where the Dettmann are from, taking a big chance showing a picture of my relatives to the admin. Basically, some of the older adopted names are from animals, and the Wolf is an example. Like the wolf, man is also a predator of the elk (moose). It is said that the moose are following ancient trails to get to their ancient lands in Germany east of Berlin, where the ‘wald’, German for forest is. The only thing I can figure out is that the bull/father elk/moose, retains it’s historical history down it’s Y-DNA of the fathers, and the cow/mothers elk/moose, retains it’s historical history down it’s mtDNA of the mothers. That way they can get together and produce autosomal combo calf. To get a name such as Elwald/Elliot of Proto-Germanic R-U106 Y-DNA, which refers to as ‘elk (moose) of the forest’, there has to it seems to be ‘elk (moose) in the forest’, where that surname came from. The closest German name I have been able to find near the name ‘Elwald’, is the name ‘Ewald’, and there is a concentration of the surname ‘Ewald’, where the elk (moose) are crossing over from Poland into Germany.

James M. Irvine admin to FTDNA Clan Irwin surname, has a great statement I’m finding accurate; “With a combination of diligence, intuition, peer guidance, genealogical awareness and luck rather than a sophisticated knowledge of biology or mathematics I show that 37 STR markers are often quite sufficient to identify genetic families/surname branches, and one or two SNP Panel tests can be a very cost-effective follow-up to take many testees to near the forefront of this exciting application of citizen science.

Prompted by one of my Y67 match’s confirmation that his line traces to Denmark, and also by the fact that I know of a group of Wilkinsons in Coquetdale in Northumberland from at least the late 1300s, I decided to research the Viking history in Northumbria. I found this website which is pretty informative. https://englandsnortheast.co.uk/VikingNorthumbria.html But most interesting to me was this passage fairly early on: “For seven decades the Vikings would continue raiding the coast of Britain and it seemed inevitable that they would eventually launch a full scale invasion of our shores. This is precisely what occurred in the year 866, when a huge army of Danes invaded East Anglia from their well established bases in the Low Countries of the Continent. They arrived under the leadership of Ivar the Boneless and his brothers, Halfdene and Hubba and after camping the winter, turned their attention to Northumbria.” Two things are interesting to me as U152>L2>Z367>L20. First, obviously that these were Danish Vikings since my match traces to Denmark (I know of at least two other unrelated L20s who also trace to Denmark). Second, that they launched the invasion from strongholds in “the Low Countries”, i.e. what is now Netherlands and Belgium. This is worth noting because there are pockets of U152 that are in the 20% and higher range in these areas. In my opinion this adds to the possibility that my paternal line arrived with these Danes. Although, as previously noted by Dr. Faux in his research and analysis, if the Jutland Cimbri of the classical era were also U152>L20, then its possible we were already there as Brittonic Celts too. We know of at least two ancient Viking remains that were recently confirmed U152>L20. A Viking connection to these subclades undoubtedly exists. The question remains, are the Vikings my paternal line’s vector into the British Isles? Only additional testing will get us the answers we seek. Hopefully more of the lines who remained in the old country will test as well.

Allegiance, for Border Reivers By GRAHAM HEATHCOTE FEB. 11, 1996 12 AM ASSOCIATED PRESS CARLISLE, England — Ever suspected that your ancestors were robbers who terrorized the border between England and Scotland? Armstrong, Elliot, Graham, Irvine, Johnstone, Kerr, Maxwell, Nixon and Scott were among the families who rode, feuded, fought and plundered over the border area for 350 years. All the family names of the Border Reivers, whose first allegiance was to their family’s surname, are on a list kept in Carlisle, on the English side of the border. From the 14th to the 17th centuries, the border was a turbulent place. Raiders stole cattle and women, burned homes and farms and killed rivals without mercy. From surviving documents such as court and property records and tenure agreements, researchers have identified 74 family names from that region in the 16th and 17th centuries. Some names have changed over the years: Johnstone becoming Johnson, for example. Reive, meaning to plunder or rob, comes from the dialect of the Scottish Lowlands and borders. “The folk memory of the Reivers has passed away, but their stories survive in the border ballads,” said David Clarke, senior curator of Tullie House Museum. “We have music about them and [the novelist Sir Walter] Scott collected a lot about them and put them into his novels.” The museum has made an audio-visual show about Reivers the centerpiece of a $7.5-million restoration. The bell that rang to warn Carlisle townspeople of raids is in the museum. Images of galloping horse riders, lookouts, panic-stricken settlers and torched homes and forts are projected on a 30-foot screen. Voices intone the fear of women waiting for raids: “The Reivers are riding to take what we stole from them that had been ours before.” The border with Scotland is nine miles north of Carlisle, but in Reiver times it wasn’t so definite. “North of Carlisle were the debatable lands, territory which was declared to belong to neither Scotland nor England,” Clarke said. “The Reivers operated on both sides of the border. “It was peat moss and bog country, a huge tract of wet and desolate moorland at the head of the Solway Firth,” he said. “You had to know your way around it or you would have got lost and died. Nowadays it’s mostly quarried for peat or drained for farming. “Carlisle is a border city and changed hands between the English and Scots several times in the Middle Ages, so the museum took up the Reivers as a very interesting episode,” he said. “It’s become one of our main attractions.” Clarke said the Reiver story is still little known despite George MacDonald Fraser’s novel, “The Steel Bonnets.” Fraser was astonished by the Reiver connections he saw in a photograph of Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon and evangelist Billy Graham together at Nixon’s inauguration. Johnson’s visage and figure were straight from Dumfriesshire, where everyone was familiar with such lined and leathery faces, large heads and rangy, rather loose-jointed frames, Fraser said. The Graham features were less common but still familiar, while Nixon was the perfect example of the Anglo-Scottish frontier: blunt, heavy features, dark complexion, burly body and an air of dour hardness. Fraser said all three heads would fit perfectly under a steel bonnet. “The Reivers were thieves, but warriors as well, and without allegiance to anyone outside their clan. Any English or Scottish king going to war here needed the Reivers on his side,” said Chris Dobson, a Carlisle city official. He said the Reivers were eventually repressed, deported, killed or compelled to emigrate under threat of imprisonment and that many ended up in Ireland. Haydn Charlsworth specializes in researching family histories around Carlisle and has traced Reiver connections for American clients. “Once you get back to the 16th century, it’s pretty difficult to make strong links, but the Armstrongs are well documented, and the Johnstones,” Charlsworth said. https://archive.org/details/chroniclesofarms00arms/page/n13 https://books.google.com/books/about/The_History_of_Liddesdale_Eskdale_Ewesda.html?id=nFr7oQEACAAJ https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Clan-Johnston.mp4 https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Maguire-Armstrong-Elliott-Johnston-Fermanagh-surname-distribution-map-1.jpg Armstrong and Maguire marrying of Ulster Plantation, County Fermanagh, Ireland. https://d3tije9h5o4l4c.cloudfront.net/social-photos/3296539?dpr=2&fit=max&h=856&w=590 I Remain Unvanquished!: The Incredible 1,000-year History of the Armstrong Family by William Stephenson publisher; Great Northern Pulp & Paper Group Limited, 1989 – Canada – 183 pages “Men who carried arms were liable to be called up by the sheriff so there are records of them.” Visitors can get a “Reivers Car Trail” leaflet in Carlisle to guide them through 80 miles of Reiver country.

Armstrong, Bell, Carr, and Crozier, has strong linking to Elliott. Looking from the English side of the border easier to spot. Families are of the border region, when the border is identified it puts them on both sides. Can utilized ‘hot spot’ locality software to see how well it identifies localities. https://named.publicprofiler.org/ Area you describe the Curruther at https://elwald.com/carruthers-i-m253-y-dna/, most are I-M253 Y-DNA. For Crozier which lived near the Larriston Elliot at Ricarton http://clancrozier.com/ Descended from a most notorious border reiver; Clementis Hobs (ie Clement Crozier’s sister’s son Robert Elliott). https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Clemementis-Hob-hand.jpg https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Clementis-Hob-William-Douglas-Cavers-Gledstanes-Coklaw1.jpg https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Crosar-of-Stobs-and-Agerstoneshields.png http://clancrozier.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Nixon-with-Crozier-Elliott.jpg https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Karruthers-Carruthers.png Go way back with the Armstrong https://gorrenberry.com/rich-rucker-clan-armstrong-dna-question/ Basically you have Anglican-Borderers.

Mark, if you had a map of Scotland with all the clans listed on it, I could throw a dart at it blindfolded and hit a clan that I’m related to. However, it was kind of thrilling when I went to Scotland in 2005, I’m in Dumfries and Galloway riding in a “King” bus (my father’s mother was a King, though her line was from Ireland when a truck bearing the Armstrong name (my dad was born in Armstrong, Illinois) came tootling down the road.

If anyone on here is in Northumberland and knows any Wilkinsons in Northumberland, please pass my email jcmaxwilkinson@gmail.com on to them. I know there were Wilkinsons in Coquetdale at least as of late 1300s. I was reading through Northumbrian history and was interested to learn that for a time Northumbria extended all the way north into Lothian and included Edinburgh. Lothian would have been part of the Celtic Old North prior to that. My one non-family Wilkinson match (Y37, all the further he tested) traces to East Lothian. He’s not refined his haplogroup past M269, so I don’t know if he’s also U152>L20. Assuming that he is, and assuming our lines converge in Lothian somewhere before 1700, the question becomes were we pre-Anglo Saxon Celts (U152 presumably implies that, presumably La Tene Votadini tribe assuming the line remained in that region) or were we an uncommon U152 Anglo Saxon (or later Dane) line? There were Wilkinsons in the Border counties and Lothians in Scotland at least as of the 1500s too. Did they migrate from Northumbria or vice versa? Hopefully further research and maybe some ancient DNA will eventually solve the mystery.

Mark Elliott
September 24, 2019 @ 9:08am
Since only about one sixth of those tested by FTDNA with the Gresham surname do not match my first twelve markers, it is most likely especially being from Norfolk that your ancestor matched my first twelve markers as far as the Y-DNA is concerned. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gresham_Grissom?iframe=yresults, and his surname came from a place in Norfolk called Gresham, where there is a moated castle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham_Castle of about the early fourteenth century called Gresham Castle. Bec/Becc/Beck (Anglo-Saxon for ‘brook’) is nearby, also from that era and is moated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_Hall “An early resident of Bec was Alanus Elfwold (1248).[5]” (my many great)

Am related to Carl Finch. Match him exactly in twenty-five markers. The names you find are Finn, Finnie, Finrock, and Finch. The Finch is from Fitzherbert, it is likely that the names began from the region of Fenlands referred to as the Fenns, many islands, drained in 1650 at the time of Cromwell. So Fenns became the surname Finn, which became in some cases Finch, Finnie, and may be with question Finrock, and the Chronicles of the Armstrong have the Elwald -Elliot, located at Crowland (Croyland) of the Fenns. https://archive.org/details/chroniclesofarms00arms/page/n13

Frequency of the surname ‘Finn’, is much much higher in Ireland than England. In 2014 England 1:6,620 as opposed to Ireland 1:850. https://forebears.io/surnames/finn In Irish ‘finn’ means ‘me’, in Scots Gaelic ‘we are’. Likely independent surname development then that of being from the East Anglia ‘Fenns’.

https://www.rootstech.org/video/you-can-do-dna John Wilkinson 20 minutes ago “Thanks Mark. I know how to name search FF matches. I was just wondering if there are any known autosomal markers identified in recent study that could be searched for in individual FTDNA results, regardless of surname, they may be there but I cant find them.” How family members are being successful at family history; 1.The family knows best. 2.Listen to others, especially of the opposite sex, to make family. 3.Do not in a family search, get rid of the in-laws (Xs), though you may want to. 4.Families fight, and likely not just one answer is correct, in the history. 5.If the family’s history is done properly one does not get to pick their ancestors. The ladies presented themselves at Roots Tech in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2015. In 2020 it is in Salt Lake City, Utah; https://www.rootstech.org/salt-lake FTDNA is not as oriented as these ladies being Latter Day Saints, going to Brigham Young University. Do not tell those Mormons this but Brigham Young is an Anglo-Scottish Borderer name. One does not put the cart ahead of the horse, meaning the genealogy comes first like in the many established autosomal sites, like ‘the guide team’, and in genealogy; YOU CAN DO DNA, it is not rocket science. FTDNA have to realize that their SNP subclades are beginning to reach into genealogical time for some researchers, which are going back far in time with their Y-DNA. The prehistoric does not cut it for genealogy, of the ‘so called’ DNA experts, the ones which share family knowledge with families, then applying DNA, are circumventing these DNA ‘experts’. Until they realize the first statement ‘family knows best’, they will never be able to do family history-genealogy. The Guide Team started with family history-genealogy, the family, and are now putting the genetics to it. FTDNA can destroy their own future, even though the numbers are there to integrate them into family history, when family history is being done they allow their felt to be ‘superior’ knowledge base supersede and smother the family history which is being developed, not becoming integrated into that which has properly been successful in finding history of families for centuries. Been for my own family able to integrate FTDNA Y-DNA, with place names, and census surname concentrations of Y-DNA quite successfully. Some FTDNA blogs have excluded me from doing so. The guide team which has done the Roots Tech video in 2015, going cross corporate, and showing advantages among the different autosomal corporations, have done it quite successfully. If FTDNA drops the prehistoric, and the superseding of family information, but integrates their Y-DNA test into the family data base it is felt going downstream, but a cluster not testing a “Big-Y”, but just testing the SNPs which are in time reaching further into genealogical time I feel they will be much more successful with family genealogists using Y-DNA.

It is true that Y-DNA tests like BigY are beginning to find SNPs that occurred in genealogical time, but in general there is very little help within the Y-Line from Family Finder matches if the relationship is beyond fourth cousin, or 5 generations.
Gail Andrews Hardy T124143
September 24, 2019 @ 8:07am
To do proper genealogy, you need all the different DNA types as well as the paper trails to verify it. Yes, DNA is a foundation, but if all you know is your surname and you get back 500 years, you could have a couple thousand people with your surname to which you are related, but which one is your direct ancestor? That is where the paper trail comes in. I have found people who were 5th to remote cousins with Family Finder, and I have multiple connections with them. The record so far is 13 separate connections ranging from 7th great grandparents to 23rd great grandparents. All FF said was that we were related.

If the Brigham (BYU) DNA people are hitting that link, what does it say about someone which doesn’t, are they really a family research genealogist? Yes, FTDNA Y-DNA is quite useful in the hands of a genealogist, integrated with other tools which they have developed, but not to the ones which kick people off their blogs for doing family history.

September 23, 2019 @ 8:43pm
Genealogy is sharing of family history, and from my perspective it seems like the ones without the Y-DNA are better at doing this. Because the ones with the Y-DNA, try to supersede, I beginning to feel like I am stuck with a pot of gold I am trying to share but sometimes no one wants it. Thought their is this Lucio Gomes from Brazil, using an English translator, to translate from Portuguese to be in the English FTDNA blogs. Has indigenous South American blood in him. You will find that he has been in the Dunbar activity feed with a cowboy admin near Dallas. This is part what we came up with; https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Dunbar-1024×533.jpg Both our families fought against Cromwell, his at The Battle of Dunbar, and ended up in Brazil, and mine in the Battle of Worcester and ended up in Massachusetts Colony ‘transported as Scottish POW slaves’. Dunbar has been through many battles, therefore the surname Dubar is dispersed, the Cockburn, adopting their surname from the same Y-DNA pool are not dispersed like the Dunbar, because they did not go through the battles the Dunbar did. This is just one small example of the use of Y-DNA.

The primary purposes of this Society, which is headquartered in Redheugh, are to preserve the history and traditions of the Clan, and to promote a spirit of kinship among its members. In the words of Sir Arthur, “the tie is essentially a family one, transcending national boundaries and disregarding distinctions of age, sex, wealth or status. Thus our Clan Society is more than a club and more even than what is generally understood by a ‘Society’.

Redheugh and Larriston, are lands given to Robert Elwald 10, by Archibald ‘Bell the Cat’ Douglas 5th Earl of Angus referred to as ‘Angus’, in the later part of the 15th Century. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Sasine_deed_1484_for_Robert_Elwald_%28Elliot%29%2C_Redheugh%2C_Larriston%2C_Hartsgarth.jpg https://dsl.ac.uk/entry/dost/stell_n_1 Transcribed by Teena http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~cotyroneireland/genealogy/muster/tullyhogue1610.html Cathy Carley, Having difficulty with the surname mainly spelled “Steele” which varied little over time, putting it with the Saxon name in my line ‘Elwald’, in the Cottingham-York, “ONorthumb. stelle (once, 1099-1128),” East Riding, Yorkshire region. Finding in this group; “Michael STELL, b. 1530, d. 9 Feb 1589 England” where ‘Stell’, is more like the ‘Stelle’, spelling of Germany, though the name ‘Steele’, has similarities to it. On the English side of the Border it seems though the name ‘Steele’ is prevalent that it is spelled also ‘Steele’. There are a number of Germans carrying the Y-DNA, so it is felt that the word ‘stelle’, which produced the names ‘Steele’, ‘Stell’, ‘Steel’, migrated with the Anglo-Saxons, to Anglia, Yorkshire, the Scottish Borders, onto Ulster then The Colonies with the Border Elwald-Ellott. It is basically felt to mean a place name, meaning a narrowing in a stream or river, where, fish can be trapped.

Brigham (bridge home, of East Riding, Yorkshire), Young (Border way of naming Young Dand ‘Ellot’), of the Later Day Saints, has opened to the public, surname search of immigrants. “The Immigrant Ancestors Project, sponsored by the Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University, uses emigration registers to locate information about the birthplaces of immigrants in their native countries, which is not found in the port registers and naturalization documents in the destination countries. Volunteers working with scholars and researchers at Brigham Young University are creating a database of millions of immigrants based on these emigration registers.” http://immigrants.byu.edu/ They also find, FTDNA as surnames are concerned search tool quite useful. Note there are about ten thousand people named ‘Brigham’, as opposed to about a million named ‘Young’, so many more ‘Young’, than ‘Brigham’, are found in FTDNA groups https://forebears.io/surnames https://www.familytreedna.com/group-project-search?sType=ew&Searchname2=Brigham&search=Brigham https://www.familytreedna.com/group-project-search?sType=ew&Searchname2=Brigham&search=Young Northumberland group; “152 Brigham 6”, but lists no Young.

Mark, the Border Elliotts are from the line of R-L21>S193. As you are from R-U106>S16361 it is likely that your Elliott line comes through a female Elliott, whose partner was killed in battle. In other words you do not descend from the Elliott Border chiefs in direct male line.
Mark Elliott
September 1, 2019 @ 6:08pm
First of all you are referencing R-L21>L193, where abover 37% of the Elliot of the Redheugh-Larriston region are from, but I am from Gorrenberry and definitely note not of the chieftain Redhuegh line which branched off at Robert Elwald 9. Robert Elwald 10 acquired the lands of Redheugh and Larriston which contain the R-L193 DNA, likely brought down by the Douglas from Angus, migration to the valley of Glendinning where the R-L193 Glendinning, and Little are from in accordance with James V. Elliott Clade A-1 study. Gorrenberry is not of Redheugh, that is why Gorrenberry did not adopt the Redheugh shield/arms of 1566. Redheugh is the chieftain line, not Gorrenberry. https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/A1-Clade-Report.pdf

I agree Mark. Scott of Satchells mentions 12 great families. If they were all of the same DNA line I would think he would say ONE great family. I’m sure there was a lot of intermarrying amongst them but there had to be several Y-DNA lines. Lot of I haplogroup Elliotts also.

A great statement ‘2 decimal places (e.g. 96.73%) misleading:’ With FTDNA, not making the number of measured years per generation available shows their understanding of mathematics. The above shows that James M. Irvine, has a strong understanding of the mathematics when it is being applied to genealogical research. Numbers am familiar with are 30 and 25 years a generation. At 30±5 and at 25±2½, but will be utilizing a higher more mathematically precise at the units digit e.g. 27±½. For the mathematics to be correct the precision of the answer can not be more than the precision of the input. To get an answer such as 96.73% is mathematically correct, this shows the level of mathematical knowledge which FTDNA is utilizing.

THE GUIDE TEAM, and I know that genealogy is not rocket science. YOU CAN DO DNA. FTDNA showed me that their mathematics was incorrect, with their TIP calculator, by using measured 30 years a generation, a number which has only one significant digit, and coming up with percents to the nearest hundredth, which is mathematically impossible. In genealogy, if you give me information, on top is THE FAMILY KNOWS BEST. Next one needs a different perspective, and to make family one must listen to the sex opposite of you. That especially goes in genealogy. Genealogy, is based on multiple estimations. For my DNA, for the surnames, Gresham (Grisham, Grissom), Cave, and Scarborough (likely Scorborough, UK, but Scarborough, UK is close enough), am matching the first twelve markers. These are places along the North Sea which Scandinavians came into. The Normans and Scandinavians fought at Hastings carrying similar autosomal DNA, in accordance to the PoBI project. As with the Church of Latter Day Saints, two philosophies exist, one of kings with kings in authority, and one of borderers which just pitch in. Similar to the difference between their first and second president, of the Church of Later Day Saints. Brigham Young is the border reiver. For genealogy it is a pitch-in and a sharing, when authority intervenes, or ‘in-laws’ are kicked out it does not work. Now people you are sharing information among family these are the ones doing genealogy. With all surnames people are likely to be from different regions. With ‘Gresham’ (Grisham, Grissom), most likely from Gresham, Norfolk, East Anglia, England. With ‘Cave’, also having French origins, not so much. With ‘Scarborough’, it could be ‘Scorborough’ also which is closer to ‘Cave’, but both are in the same region. Over time there will be some NPE, among them. Y-DNA reaches way back in time, and the SNP are beginning to reach into the era of genealogical researchers like you and I. On the first marker a ’14’ is rare, and there are higher proportions of first marker 14’s for Gresham, Norfolk, and Scarborough. Gresham is a place name it ends with ‘ham’, and Scarborough, is a place name it ends with ‘borough’ originally ‘burgh’, as in Edinburgh, but pronounce the same. Cave is likely a place name after a family, of Cave, likely a Norman name, and could by also a place name in France, but those ending in ‘ham’, and ‘borough’, are of names originating in the today’s England. So for people who have a first marker ’14’, and match the first twelve markers with mine for the names Gresham, Cave, and Scarborough, when their surname adoption came about they were from that locality, like Cottingham. Webster’s ‘cot’, a small house or Brigham, a ‘bridge house’. It should be noted the name is sometimes written “John de Doe” where ‘de’ means of, and in time is dropped, the name then becomes “John Doe”. If searching names as in Google Books, one may search “de Doe”, if it exists in that manner, try to find it on a map, the recent ones first, then older ones. If the mapping locality corresponds with census concentration data software, then it likely originate in that locality. Brigham and Cottingham are localities of East Riding, Yorkshire and show ‘hot spots’ https://named.publicprofiler.org/ at their respective localities, so I can say if you have the surname Brigham or Cottingham, and are Y-DNA matching on the first twelve markers a number of people with that surname then you are certainly most likely from that locality. If your Cave relatives, match my first 12 Y-DNA markers then they received their surname from the region of N&S Cave, East Riding Yorkshire.

Belinda Dettmann 1 hour ago Mark, the Border Elliotts are from the line of R-L21>S193. As you are from R-U106>S16361 it is likely that your Elliott line comes through a female Elliott, whose partner was killed in battle. In other words you do not descend from the Elliott Border chiefs in direct male line. You are not a genealogist, because you will not go to Google Images and put in “Brigham DNA”. You will not read the links which go with the first four images, and you will refer to a second generation genealogist-engineer, who has been doing genealogy for more than a half century as a lair about ones own Y-DNA line, when the first rule of genealogy in order to even be considered a genealogist the family is correct. Dad’s research was FTDNA correct to 28 Mar 1692, record of Daniel Elliott of the Salem Witch trials. Yet if I am today to present results most accurately, someone will say of not my family who has not worked in the applied world as a math science, computer, engineering fields as and engineer, instructor at secondary and university level, and as with the authorities of the witch trials did with Daniel’s testimony make a lie out of the truth. By doing this at the time of Daniel Elliot, nineteen innocent people were hung and one was crushed. Genetic-genealogists, from/of Brigham Young University are scrutinizing the data-documentation I have shared and will come to there own results, like highly qualified people in the genetic genealogical sciences do.

Above gives a map locality for Anders to have a census concentration at the southern part of the border in both Germany and Poland. Anders is the base prefix for names Andersen, Anderson, and Andersson. Andersen showing strength in Denmark. It is felt with surname adoption it is kind of like putting a drop of food die in water, the concentration is likely near where it began, though it spreads all over northwest Europe, like the above shows for Anders.

The Redheugh shield/arms adopted about 1566 the ‘elwand’. An elwand is a standard sixteenth century measurement of lenght, which name is biblical, but many christian nations would have an elwand of various length, England 45 imperial inches, and Scotland a hair more not being on the English standard than 37 inches. The belt of Orion is noted to be the “king’s ell/eln/el”. Guess the king of England was fatter than the king of Scotland. The Elwald split, Gorrenberry to Ulster at time of Border Pacification (genocide), for a genocidal flag “The Union Jack”, which has separated our family like borders have separated them for over four centuries. Then ‘transported as slaves to the colonies’ Hamiltonian POW Royalist Charles II, Scots fighting the forces of Cromwell at Worcester, in the Cromwellian Civil. Those Tories trying to make a border in Ireland, my patriotic rebellious ancestors would around 1776 just string them up. The “elwand” symbolizes the Elwald of Redheugh and Gorrenberry, and says, ‘by measurement, not by words’.

Fitting to my line which supported Queen Marie Stuart of Scotland at Langholm 1569 with a bunch of other reivers of the West and Middle Scottish Marches, and were in on the rescue of Kinmont Willie Armstrong, with the Bells, from Carlisle Castle with Auld Walt of Harden in 1596. That Scrope took him on a truth day and Kinmont Willie needed to be rescue, so he could live out his days in his tower on the River Sark, near the Scots Dike, and be buried in Morton Kirk (church) cemetery there.

Gary Bradley, A lot of times the name Broadley, will evolve into Bradley, which is likely in your case, but there is a name locality near Broadley called Bradley, but others in England such as a North Bradley down south, so this leads me to believe since you brought it foreword the name originate from Broadley. Broadley, Whitworth, UK, fits the description and locality. If you are matching by Y-DNA people with the name Broadley, then most likely your name was Broadley of this locality, because it is most likely that the name would take away a letter ‘o’ than add it. Broadley is from the Anglo-Broadlee, which means a valley broad on the lee-leeward east side and steep on the windward west side this is the locality Broadley is located in.

When ‘Declaration of Abroath c.1320’ the border was place, it was place between existing families. These families had loyalties to each other more so than their respective kingdoms. The borderlands were a self governing body onto themselves, and the border dukes Buccleuch, Cessford (Roxburghe), and Northumberland, sustained the land. Today they still try to protect the land, instead of subdividing it. It is felt that Ralph Percy, 12th Duke of Northumberland is doing the best job of it so far, but he is one of singularity on the English side of the border, where Buccleuch and Roxburghe are on the Scottish side of the border. All these families are interconnected through marriages. Previous to a border pacification and a United Kingdom, these families were the main managers of the borderlands. Though the Duke of Northumberland is doing a good job on his side of the border in preservation of the lands for borderers, the Dukes of Buccleuch, and Roxburghe, have to deal with the Scottish Ministry, which would like to own a wind farm corporations, and destroy any concept of a National Scottish Peace Park in conjunction with the Northumberland National Park on the English side of the border. As more and more people around the world search their genealogy, and find they are of border families, and at border pacification, the making of the Middle Shires was intended for preservation of both sides of the border, these families tracing their lines will not wonder whether the Duke of Northumberland is preserving the English side of the border but will be concerned about the desecration, of their ancestral lands by the Scottish Ministry, not allowing the Dukes of Buccleuch and Roxburghe to protect their lands for ancestors returning to visit from abroad to their family homelands.

Yes, have seen that too. Would love to make linkage back to these colorful hooligans, but so far it seems like the closest I get it a Wilkinson with no known genealogical connection who traces to Yester, Scotland in early 1700s. I presume he is from a parallel branch off a predecessor ancestor of both his line and mine descended from Thomas Wilkinson in Antrim (~1700, though he may have been born in Scotland). I have a number of low level Elliot/t matches too, interestingly.

Affiliation with Reed makes senses as the next vale over from Coquetdale (where I know there was a family of Wilkinsons at least by late 1300s) is Redesdale if my memory serves me correctly.

If anyone has a line on Wilkinson border reiver affiliation with any of the larger border clans, please let me know and post source. A friend on FTDNA said he thought he recalled a book on the Border Reviers that identified the affiliation. I’ve read through about 8 books on the Borderers and can’t find the affiliation (despite the Wilkinson name appears on some lists), though I do know that there is a reference to a cluster of Wilkinsons in the ward of Coquetdale (near Alnwick and Rothbury). Thanks.

June 7, 2019 @ 8:01am
Thanks Belinda. Your Wilkinson line may hail all the way back to the Wilkinsons from Robert de Wintona’s line. If my memory serves, he ended up around Durham after leaving his lands in Wales as King William’s directive to pacify the North. Yes, I was pretty sure they were English Middle March. A couple folks on the Border Reivers project provided the following: On page 64 of The Steel Bonnets by George MacDonald Fraser he references the Wilkinson’s as a border reiver family on the English side of the Middle March. He does not seem to lump them in with the more “troublesome” clans. “England and Scotland, 1286-1603” by Andy King and Claire Etty. Page 158. Referencing Wilkinson/Rede/Hedley in 1498. Affiliation with Reed makes senses as the next vale over from Coquetdale is Redesdale if my memory serves me correctly. Belinda, if any of your Wilkinson males have Y tested could you let me know what projects they are on and their Y haplogroup? On Wilkinson site there are probably a dozen different Yhaplos. It’s clear that several independent lines adopted it as a surname, presumably shortly after the Norman Conquest. I have speculated that my line may have migrated to lowland Scotland (my two strongest YSTR matches trace to Lothian and Aberdeen) from the Borders, but for now it is just hypothesis. Knowing what Yhaplos are in the Westmoreland, Durham and Cumberland Wilkinsons would be helpful. But even they my be genetically unrelated amongst themselves.

My Wilkinson male relatives are a fair way back up my tree, and I am not in contact with any male Wilkinsons from this line. If I find any I will certainly ask them to test their Y-DNA. My ggg grandfather Thomas Wilkinson was born in Sunderland, Durham in 1799, and died in Victoria, Australia in 1881. I descend from his daughter Louisa Wilkinson (1822-1902). I have lots of cousins from that line but no male Wilkinsons, that I can recall.

If possible, can one of the administrators please pass my contact information on to the MacBeth fellow (kit #B75726) who lists his MDKA as Anders Gyldenstierne b. 1380 Denmark, d. 1433? The reason I ask is he and kit #548140 have the same terminal SNP (BY69018) on the U152 project. Kit #548140 shows no name or MDKA. Please have Mr. MacBeth contact me to compare notes at jcmaxwilkinson@gmail.com. Kit #548140 and I are presently grouped in the same Big Tree L20 sub-branch along with a Carroll and another unknown. Unfortunately Mr. MacBeth has not uploaded his results to the Big Tree, but given the terminal SNP is the same, he too would have to plot in the same location, wouldn’t he? On the U152 Project (screened for Y111 only) my only non-familial Big Y 700 match is sandwiched between Mr. MacBeth, Kit #548140 and myself. Another interesting aspect is that Mr. MacBeth’s MDKA indicates a linkage to the name Pedersen. I have a Y67 distance 3 match named Pedersen that I’ve never been able to make contact with. Perhaps there is a connection between all of us. Thanks.

What is interesting to us is that we have the Scottish Modal L1065 marker but with an English surname. I do see Wilkinson show up as a surname in the Scottish populations and near the border. Perhaps the name shifted to Wilkerson in America. That is what I would like to explore.
Belinda Dettmann
August 27, 2017 @ 5:23pm
Paul, I found your entry in The Big Tree, and as you have no shared SNPs below Z16325 it looks as though you belong to a very old sub-branch of R-L1065. Wilkinson/Wilkerson is a Border name, so shared between Scots and English. Wilkerson is a phonetic variant of Wilkinson, and could well have been the spelling used by immigrants to North America.

Hello folks, FYI, update on Big Y results. My and my paternal uncle’s Big Y 700 results have finally identified our terminal SNP. It is FT20578 (downstream of R-L20). I am confident that we are descended from John Wilkinson b. ~1725 in Antrim Ireland and died 1788 in Chatham County North Carolina. We believe John’s father was a Thomas Wilkinson born ~1700 possibly in Antrim, possibly elsewhere in Ireland or Scotland. If any other males on this project believe you are also descended from John from Chatham, you could refine your Y testing on FTDNA by requesting a custom test for just that SNP. I think it’s less than $100 to do so. If any one matches that SNP, then we are definitely descendants of a common patriarch, either John or some other patriarch somewhere back before 1700.

Hi Jim. As you have no relatives above 25 markers I suspect you might be in a new and undiscovered subclade of R-L2. If that is the case you would be better off taking the Big Y test as that is just the next stage in a continuing process. Once you have tested for Big Y we will know what mutations define your haplo

DNA travels with language, the names, which carry the Y-DNA are Anglo-Saxon, like the name Ewald/Elwald for me which has R-U106 a proto-germanic DNA. The name ‘John’ is used predominately on the Scottish-English border. Anglo-Saxon place name localities correlate well where the name ‘John’ is utilized as a forname. Before people having two or more names they had a single one, which evolved into forenames and surnames. With these names traveled the Y-DNA. Mine with the Anglo-Saxon variant of Elwald, given the meaning of ‘elk (moose) of the forest’. It seem like it is with some indigenous American Nations names of what wildlife are names after like ‘wolf’, ‘bear’, and ‘elk (moose)’ were also utilized by the Anglo-Saxon, indigenous European people. https://nvk.genealogy.net/map/1890:wolf https://wolfeducationinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/GermanyWolfMap.png The migration of the name coincides with the individual, called ‘John’ or ‘Wolf’, and that correlation seems to correlate well with European Anglo-Saxon, name places. https://www.peopleofthebritishisles.org/ Has shown strong support in their studies that People of the British Isles have a strong percent of Anglo-Saxon in them.

Mark Elliott

“The Kingdom of Northumbria was a medieval Anglian kingdom in what is now Northern England and south-east Scotland. The name derives from the Old English Norþan-hymbre meaning “the people or province north of the Humber”, which reflects the approximate southern limit to the kingdom’s territory, the Humber Estuary.” Wikipedia Before Roxburghshire, and Northumberland the name was Danish ‘Northumbria’. At this time the name ‘John’ was likely utilized as a personal name without surname, which came up from today’s southern Poland-Germany region, where the Anglo-Saxon have traveled out of. So the personal of ‘John’, became not a surname, but the promenade for names in the northern region of Northumbria (Lotia-Northumberland), and when the border between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland was placed it was placed across families utilizing the name ‘John’ as a personal name then a forename.

Another example; In this case unique to their surname, these Anderson, Gordon, and Grant are related, likely adopted there surnames near the same time and place. Though it is felt the Anderson name migrated through East Anglia, the Grant surname is from Grantham, and the Gordon surname came from an estate/barony, on the Scottish side of the border likely https://canmore.org.uk/site/64234/lochinvar-castle Lochinvar (lake inward?), with a castle on an island, under water because it became a dammed reservoir.

Though do not think out 29th chief Margaret Eliott of Redheugh, has considered anymore raids done towards Hexham lately. The Elliot, and Nixon, consider Northumberland a part of there Border Homelands. Since my many great Clement’s Hob (Clement Crozier’s sister’s son Robert Elliot) was exiled from both Kingdoms, in 1607, never considered the kingdoms represented by the Union-Jack as home, but do consider the Armstrong, Elliott, Nixon, and Crozier as family. Had difficulties with a Nixon about a half century ago, when he tried to get rid of an Armstrong on the moon.

Considering where the Dettmann are from, taking a big chance showing a picture of my relatives to the admin. Basically, some of the older adopted names are from animals, and the Wolf is an example. Like the wolf, man is also a predator of the elk (moose). It is said that the moose are following ancient trails to get to their ancient lands in Germany east of Berlin, where the ‘wald’, German for forest is. The only thing I can figure out is that the bull/father elk/moose, retains it’s historical history down it’s Y-DNA of the fathers, and the cow/mothers elk/moose, retains it’s historical history down it’s mtDNA of the mothers. That way they can get together and produce autosomal combo calf. To get a name such as Elwald/Elliot of Proto-Germanic R-U106 Y-DNA, which refers to as ‘elk (moose) of the forest’, there has to it seems to be ‘elk (moose) in the forest’, where that surname came from. The closest German name I have been able to find near the name ‘Elwald’, is the name ‘Ewald’, and there is a concentration of the surname ‘Ewald’, where the elk (moose) are crossing over from Poland into Germany.

Prompted by one of my Y67 match’s confirmation that his line traces to Denmark, and also by the fact that I know of a group of Wilkinsons in Coquetdale in Northumberland from at least the late 1300s, I decided to research the Viking history in Northumbria. I found this website which is pretty informative. https://englandsnortheast.co.uk/VikingNorthumbria.html But most interesting to me was this passage fairly early on: “For seven decades the Vikings would continue raiding the coast of Britain and it seemed inevitable that they would eventually launch a full scale invasion of our shores. This is precisely what occurred in the year 866, when a huge army of Danes invaded East Anglia from their well established bases in the Low Countries of the Continent. They arrived under the leadership of Ivar the Boneless and his brothers, Halfdene and Hubba and after camping the winter, turned their attention to Northumbria.” Two things are interesting to me as U152>L2>Z367>L20. First, obviously that these were Danish Vikings since my match traces to Denmark (I know of at least two other unrelated L20s who also trace to Denmark). Second, that they launched the invasion from strongholds in “the Low Countries”, i.e. what is now Netherlands and Belgium. This is worth noting because there are pockets of U152 that are in the 20% and higher range in these areas. In my opinion this adds to the possibility that my paternal line arrived with these Danes. Although, as previously noted by Dr. Faux in his research and analysis, if the Jutland Cimbri of the classical era were also U152>L20, then its possible we were already there as Brittonic Celts too. We know of at least two ancient Viking remains that were recently confirmed U152>L20. A Viking connection to these subclades undoubtedly exists. The question remains, are the Vikings my paternal line’s vector into the British Isles? Only additional testing will get us the answers we seek. Hopefully more of the lines who remained in the old country will test as well.

Armstrong, Scott, Elliott (Gorrenberry and Copshaw, not Stobs), Bell, and Graham were in on the rescue of Kinmont Willie Armstrong from Carlisle Castle. http://clangrahamsociety.org/files/BorderGrahams&Rossadown.pdf https://www.historyireland.com/early-modern-history-1500-1700/sheep-stealers-from-the-north-of-england-the-riding-clans-in-ulster-by-robert-bell/ Ballads of the Border Reivers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BydA73Isw_U https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/HISTORY-HUNTERS-Kinmont-Willie-Armstrong.mp4 https://gorrenberry.com/ballad-kinmont-willie/ Among the first four surnames do not know which one was the worst. “Armstrong, Elliot, Graham, Irvine,…” What’s in a Name? Allegiance, for Border Reivers By GRAHAM HEATHCOTE FEB. 11, 1996 12 AM ASSOCIATED PRESS CARLISLE, England — Ever suspected that your ancestors were robbers who terrorized the border between England and Scotland? Armstrong, Elliot, Graham, Irvine, Johnstone, Kerr, Maxwell, Nixon and Scott were among the families who rode, feuded, fought and plundered over the border area for 350 years. All the family names of the Border Reivers, whose first allegiance was to their family’s surname, are on a list kept in Carlisle, on the English side of the border. From the 14th to the 17th centuries, the border was a turbulent place. Raiders stole cattle and women, burned homes and farms and killed rivals without mercy. From surviving documents such as court and property records and tenure agreements, researchers have identified 74 family names from that region in the 16th and 17th centuries. Some names have changed over the years: Johnstone becoming Johnson, for example. Reive, meaning to plunder or rob, comes from the dialect of the Scottish Lowlands and borders. “The folk memory of the Reivers has passed away, but their stories survive in the border ballads,” said David Clarke, senior curator of Tullie House Museum. “We have music about them and [the novelist Sir Walter] Scott collected a lot about them and put them into his novels.” The museum has made an audio-visual show about Reivers the centerpiece of a $7.5-million restoration. The bell that rang to warn Carlisle townspeople of raids is in the museum. Images of galloping horse riders, lookouts, panic-stricken settlers and torched homes and forts are projected on a 30-foot screen. Voices intone the fear of women waiting for raids: “The Reivers are riding to take what we stole from them that had been ours before.” The border with Scotland is nine miles north of Carlisle, but in Reiver times it wasn’t so definite. “North of Carlisle were the debatable lands, territory which was declared to belong to neither Scotland nor England,” Clarke said. “The Reivers operated on both sides of the border. “It was peat moss and bog country, a huge tract of wet and desolate moorland at the head of the Solway Firth,” he said. “You had to know your way around it or you would have got lost and died. Nowadays it’s mostly quarried for peat or drained for farming. “Carlisle is a border city and changed hands between the English and Scots several times in the Middle Ages, so the museum took up the Reivers as a very interesting episode,” he said. “It’s become one of our main attractions.” Clarke said the Reiver story is still little known despite George MacDonald Fraser’s novel, “The Steel Bonnets.” Fraser was astonished by the Reiver connections he saw in a photograph of Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon and evangelist Billy Graham together at Nixon’s inauguration. Johnson’s visage and figure were straight from Dumfriesshire, where everyone was familiar with such lined and leathery faces, large heads and rangy, rather loose-jointed frames, Fraser said. The Graham features were less common but still familiar, while Nixon was the perfect example of the Anglo-Scottish frontier: blunt, heavy features, dark complexion, burly body and an air of dour hardness. Fraser said all three heads would fit perfectly under a steel bonnet. “The Reivers were thieves, but warriors as well, and without allegiance to anyone outside their clan. Any English or Scottish king going to war here needed the Reivers on his side,” said Chris Dobson, a Carlisle city official. He said the Reivers were eventually repressed, deported, killed or compelled to emigrate under threat of imprisonment and that many ended up in Ireland. Haydn Charlsworth specializes in researching family histories around Carlisle and has traced Reiver connections for American clients. “Once you get back to the 16th century, it’s pretty difficult to make strong links, but the Armstrongs are well documented, and the Johnstones,” Charlsworth said. https://archive.org/details/chroniclesofarms00arms/page/n13 https://books.google.com/books/about/The_History_of_Liddesdale_Eskdale_Ewesda.html?id=nFr7oQEACAAJ https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Clan-Johnston.mp4 https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Maguire-Armstrong-Elliott-Johnston-Fermanagh-surname-distribution-map-1.jpg Armstrong and Maguire marrying of Ulster Plantation, County Fermanagh, Ireland. https://d3tije9h5o4l4c.cloudfront.net/social-photos/3296539?dpr=2&fit=max&h=856&w=590 I Remain Unvanquished!: The Incredible 1,000-year History of the Armstrong Family by William Stephenson publisher; Great Northern Pulp & Paper Group Limited, 1989 – Canada – 183 pages “Men who carried arms were liable to be called up by the sheriff so there are records of them.” Visitors can get a “Reivers Car Trail” leaflet in Carlisle to guide them through 80 miles of Reiver country.

Armstrong, Bell, Carr, and Crozier, has strong linking to Elliott. Looking from the English side of the border easier to spot. Families are of the border region, when the border is identified it puts them on both sides. Can utilized ‘hot spot’ locality software to see how well it identifies localities. https://named.publicprofiler.org/ Area you describe the Curruther at https://elwald.com/carruthers-i-m253-y-dna/, most are I-M253 Y-DNA.

Mark, if you had a map of Scotland with all the clans listed on it, I could throw a dart at it blindfolded and hit a clan that I’m related to. However, it was kind of thrilling when I went to Scotland in 2005, I’m in Dumfries and Galloway riding in a “King” bus (my father’s mother was a King, though her line was from Ireland when a truck bearing the Armstrong name (my dad was born in Armstrong, Illinois) came tootling down the road.

If anyone on here is in Northumberland and knows any Wilkinsons in Northumberland, please pass my email jcmaxwilkinson@gmail.com on to them. I know there were Wilkinsons in Coquetdale at least as of late 1300s. I was reading through Northumbrian history and was interested to learn that for a time Northumbria extended all the way north into Lothian and included Edinburgh. Lothian would have been part of the Celtic Old North prior to that. My one non-family Wilkinson match (Y37, all the further he tested) traces to East Lothian. He’s not refined his haplogroup past M269, so I don’t know if he’s also U152>L20. Assuming that he is, and assuming our lines converge in Lothian somewhere before 1700, the question becomes were we pre-Anglo Saxon Celts (U152 presumably implies that, presumably La Tene Votadini tribe assuming the line remained in that region) or were we an uncommon U152 Anglo Saxon (or later Dane) line? There were Wilkinsons in the Border counties and Lothians in Scotland at least as of the 1500s too. Did they migrate from Northumbria or vice versa? Hopefully further research and maybe some ancient DNA will eventually solve the mystery.

Mark Elliott
September 24 @ 9:08am
Since only about one sixth of those tested by FTDNA with the Gresham surname do not match my first twelve markers, it is most likely especially being from Norfolk that your ancestor matched my first twelve markers as far as the Y-DNA is concerned. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gresham_Grissom?iframe=yresults, and his surname came from a place in Norfolk called Gresham, where there is a moated castle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham_Castle of about the early fourteenth century called Gresham Castle. Bec/Becc/Beck (Anglo-Saxon for ‘brook’) is nearby, also from that era and is moated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_Hall “An early resident of Bec was Alanus Elfwold (1248).[5]” (my many great)

Am related to Carl Finch. Match him exactly in twenty-five markers. The names you find are Finn, Finnie, Finrock, and Finch. The Finch is from Fitzherbert, it is likely that the names began from the region of Fenlands referred to as the Fenns, many islands, drained in 1650 at the time of Cromwell. So Fenns became the surname Finn, which became in some cases Finch, Finnie, and may be with question Finrock, and the Chronicles of the Armstrong have the Elwald -Elliot, located at Crowland (Croyland) of the Fenns. https://archive.org/details/chroniclesofarms00arms/page/n13

https://www.rootstech.org/video/you-can-do-dna John Wilkinson 20 minutes ago “Thanks Mark. I know how to name search FF matches. I was just wondering if there are any known autosomal markers identified in recent study that could be searched for in individual FTDNA results, regardless of surname, they may be there but I cant find them.” How family members are being successful at family history; 1.The family knows best. 2.Listen to others, especially of the opposite sex, to make family. 3.Do not in a family search, get rid of the in-laws (Xs), though you may want to. 4.Families fight, and likely not just one answer is correct, in the history. 5.If the family’s history is done properly one does not get to pick their ancestors. The ladies presented themselves at Roots Tech in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2015. In 2020 it is in Salt Lake City, Utah; https://www.rootstech.org/salt-lake FTDNA is not as oriented as these ladies being Latter Day Saints, going to Brigham Young University. Do not tell those Mormons this but Brigham Young is an Anglo-Scottish Borderer name. One does not put the cart ahead of the horse, meaning the genealogy comes first like in the many established autosomal sites, like ‘the guide team’, and in genealogy; YOU CAN DO DNA, it is not rocket science. FTDNA have to realize that their SNP subclades are beginning to reach into genealogical time for some researchers, which are going back far in time with their Y-DNA. The prehistoric does not cut it for genealogy, of the ‘so called’ DNA experts, the ones which share family knowledge with families, then applying DNA, are circumventing these DNA ‘experts’. Until they realize the first statement ‘family knows best’, they will never be able to do family history-genealogy. The Guide Team started with family history-genealogy, the family, and are now putting the genetics to it. FTDNA can destroy their own future, even though the numbers are there to integrate them into family history, when family history is being done they allow their felt to be ‘superior’ knowledge base supersede and smother the family history which is being developed, not becoming integrated into that which has properly been successful in finding history of families for centuries. Been for my own family able to integrate FTDNA Y-DNA, with place names, and census surname concentrations of Y-DNA quite successfully. Some FTDNA blogs have excluded me from doing so. The guide team which has done the Roots Tech video in 2015, going cross corporate, and showing advantages among the different autosomal corporations, have done it quite successfully. If FTDNA drops the prehistoric, and the superseding of family information, but integrates their Y-DNA test into the family data base it is felt going downstream, but a cluster not testing a “Big-Y”, but just testing the SNPs which are in time reaching further into genealogical time I feel they will be much more successful with family genealogists using Y-DNA.

It is true that Y-DNA tests like BigY are beginning to find SNPs that occurred in genealogical time, but in general there is very little help within the Y-Line from Family Finder matches if the relationship is beyond fourth cousin, or 5 generations.

To do proper genealogy, you need all the different DNA types as well as the paper trails to verify it. Yes, DNA is a foundation, but if all you know is your surname and you get back 500 years, you could have a couple thousand people with your surname to which you are related, but which one is your direct ancestor? That is where the paper trail comes in. I have found people who were 5th to remote cousins with Family Finder, and I have multiple connections with them. The record so far is 13 separate connections ranging from 7th great grandparents to 23rd great grandparents. All FF said was that we were related.

September 23 @ 8:43pm
Genealogy is sharing of family history, and from my perspective it seems like the ones without the Y-DNA are better at doing this. Because the ones with the Y-DNA, try to supersede, I beginning to feel like I am stuck with a pot of gold I am trying to share but sometimes no one wants it. Thought their is this Lucio Gomes from Brazil, using an English translator, to translate from Portuguese to be in the English FTDNA blogs. Has indigenous South American blood in him. You will find that he has been in the Dunbar activity feed with a cowboy admin near Dallas. This is part what we came up with; https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Dunbar-1024×533.jpg Both our families fought against Cromwell, his at The Battle of Dunbar, and ended up in Brazil, and mine in the Battle of Worcester and ended up in Massachusetts Colony ‘transported as Scottish POW slaves’. Dunbar has been through many battles, therefore the surname Dubar is dispersed, the Cockburn, adopting their surname from the same Y-DNA pool are not dispersed like the Dunbar, because they did not go through the battles the Dunbar did. This is just one small example of the use of Y-DNA.

The primary purposes of this Society, which is headquartered in Redheugh, are to preserve the history and traditions of the Clan, and to promote a spirit of kinship among its members. In the words of Sir Arthur, “the tie is essentially a family one, transcending national boundaries and disregarding distinctions of age, sex, wealth or status. Thus our Clan Society is more than a club and more even than what is generally understood by a ‘Society’.

John, ” I’ve done Family Finder too so my autosomal is in FTDNA dbase.” The shorter the number of letters the better, as long as it comes down to one page. Like for Wilkinson, W, Wi, or then Wil. Gail Andrews Hardy T124143 19 hours ago I’ve got Elliot and Elliott from Ireland, Scotland and England. John Wilkinson 3 hours ago Mark, I’ve done Family Finder too so my autosomal is in FTDNA dbase. Is there any way a person compare their personal autosomal to the regional autosomals in this study? Triangulation? Just trying to figure out if this can be leveraged as a means of narrowing the footprint of where to look for leads in general, which might help narrow focus on the Y line too.

Mark, I’ve done Family Finder too so my autosomal is in FTDNA dbase. Is there any way a person compare their personal autosomal to the regional autosomals in this study? Triangulation? Just trying to figure out if this can be leveraged as a means of narrowing the footprint of where to look for leads in general, which might help narrow focus on the Y line too.

Redheugh and Larriston, are lands given to Robert Elwald 10, by Archibald ‘Bell the Cat’ Douglas 5th Earl of Angus referred to as ‘Angus’, in the later part of the 15th Century. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Sasine_deed_1484_for_Robert_Elwald_%28Elliot%29%2C_Redheugh%2C_Larriston%2C_Hartsgarth.jpg https://dsl.ac.uk/entry/dost/stell_n_1 Transcribed by Teena http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~cotyroneireland/genealogy/muster/tullyhogue1610.html Cathy Carley, Having difficulty with the surname mainly spelled “Steele” which varied little over time, putting it with the Saxon name in my line ‘Elwald’, in the Cottingham-York, “ONorthumb. stelle (once, 1099-1128),” East Riding, Yorkshire region. Finding in this group; “Michael STELL, b. 1530, d. 9 Feb 1589 England” where ‘Stell’, is more like the ‘Stelle’, spelling of Germany, though the name ‘Steele’, has similarities to it. On the English side of the Border it seems though the name ‘Steele’ is prevalent that it is spelled also ‘Steele’. There are a number of Germans carrying the Y-DNA, so it is felt that the word ‘stelle’, which produced the names ‘Steele’, ‘Stell’, ‘Steel’, migrated with the Anglo-Saxons, to Anglia, Yorkshire, the Scottish Borders, onto Ulster then The Colonies with the Border Elwald-Ellott. It is basically felt to mean a place name, meaning a narrowing in a stream or river, where, fish can be trapped.

Brigham (bridge home, of East Riding, Yorkshire), Young (Border way of naming Young Dand ‘Ellot’), of the Later Day Saints, has opened to the public, surname search of immigrants. “The Immigrant Ancestors Project, sponsored by the Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University, uses emigration registers to locate information about the birthplaces of immigrants in their native countries, which is not found in the port registers and naturalization documents in the destination countries. Volunteers working with scholars and researchers at Brigham Young University are creating a database of millions of immigrants based on these emigration registers.” http://immigrants.byu.edu/ They also find, FTDNA as surnames are concerned search tool quite useful. Note there are about ten thousand people named ‘Brigham’, as opposed to about a million named ‘Young’, so many more ‘Young’, than ‘Brigham’, are found in FTDNA groups https://forebears.io/surnames https://www.familytreedna.com/group-project-search?sType=ew&Searchname2=Brigham&search=Brigham https://www.familytreedna.com/group-project-search?sType=ew&Searchname2=Brigham&search=Young Northumberland group; “152 Brigham 6”, but lists no Young.

Mark, the Border Elliotts are from the line of R-L21>S193. As you are from R-U106>S16361 it is likely that your Elliott line comes through a female Elliott, whose partner was killed in battle. In other words you do not descend from the Elliott Border chiefs in direct male line.
Mark Elliott
September 1 @ 6:08pm
First of all you are referencing R-L21>L193, where abover 37% of the Elliot of the Redheugh-Larriston region are from, but I am from Gorrenberry and definitely note not of the chieftain Redhuegh line which branched off at Robert Elwald 9. Robert Elwald 10 acquired the lands of Redheugh and Larriston which contain the R-L193 DNA, likely brought down by the Douglas from Angus, migration to the valley of Glendinning where the R-L193 Glendinning, and Little are from in accordance with James V. Elliott Clade A-1 study. Gorrenberry is not of Redheugh, that is why Gorrenberry did not adopt the Redheugh shield/arms of 1566. Redheugh is the chieftain line, not Gorrenberry. https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/A1-Clade-Report.pdf

A great statement ‘2 decimal places (e.g. 96.73%) misleading:’ With FTDNA, not making the number of measured years per generation available shows their understanding of mathematics. The above shows that James M. Irvine, has a strong understanding of the mathematics when it is being applied to genealogical research. Numbers am familiar with are 30 and 25 years a generation. At 30±5 and at 25±2½, but will be utilizing a higher more mathematically precise at the units digit e.g. 27±½. For the mathematics to be correct the precision of the answer can not be more than the precision of the input. To get an answer such as 96.73% is mathematically correct, this shows the level of mathematical knowledge which FTDNA is utilizing.

THE GUIDE TEAM, and I know that genealogy is not rocket science. YOU CAN DO DNA. FTDNA showed me that their mathematics was incorrect, with their TIP calculator, by using measured 30 years a generation, a number which has only one significant digit, and coming up with percents to the nearest hundredth, which is mathematically impossible. In genealogy, if you give me information, on top is THE FAMILY KNOWS BEST. Next one needs a different perspective, and to make family one must listen to the sex opposite of you. That especially goes in genealogy. Genealogy, is based on multiple estimations. For my DNA, for the surnames, Gresham (Grisham, Grissom), Cave, and Scarborough (likely Scorborough, UK, but Scarborough, UK is close enough), am matching the first twelve markers. These are places along the North Sea which Scandinavians came into. The Normans and Scandinavians fought at Hastings carrying similar autosomal DNA, in accordance to the PoBI project. As with the Church of Latter Day Saints, two philosophies exist, one of kings with kings in authority, and one of borderers which just pitch in. Similar to the difference between their first and second president, of the Church of Later Day Saints. Brigham Young is the border reiver. For genealogy it is a pitch-in and a sharing, when authority intervenes, or ‘in-laws’ are kicked out it does not work. Now people you are sharing information among family these are the ones doing genealogy. With all surnames people are likely to be from different regions. With ‘Gresham’ (Grisham, Grissom), most likely from Gresham, Norfolk, East Anglia, England. With ‘Cave’, also having French origins, not so much. With ‘Scarborough’, it could be ‘Scorborough’ also which is closer to ‘Cave’, but both are in the same region. Over time there will be some NPE, among them. Y-DNA reaches way back in time, and the SNP are beginning to reach into the era of genealogical researchers like you and I. On the first marker a ’14’ is rare, and there are higher proportions of first marker 14’s for Gresham, Norfolk, and Scarborough. Gresham is a place name it ends with ‘ham’, and Scarborough, is a place name it ends with ‘borough’ originally ‘burgh’, as in Edinburgh, but pronounce the same. Cave is likely a place name after a family, of Cave, likely a Norman name, and could by also a place name in France, but those ending in ‘ham’, and ‘borough’, are of names originating in the today’s England. So for people who have a first marker ’14’, and match the first twelve markers with mine for the names Gresham, Cave, and Scarborough, when their surname adoption came about they were from that locality, like Cottingham. Webster’s ‘cot’, a small house or Brigham, a ‘bridge house’. It should be noted the name is sometimes written “John de Doe” where ‘de’ means of, and in time is dropped, the name then becomes “John Doe”. If searching names as in Google Books, one may search “de Doe”, if it exists in that manner, try to find it on a map, the recent ones first, then older ones. If the mapping locality corresponds with census concentration data software, then it likely originate in that locality. Brigham and Cottingham are localities of East Riding, Yorkshire and show ‘hot spots’ https://named.publicprofiler.org/ at their respective localities, so I can say if you have the surname Brigham or Cottingham, and are Y-DNA matching on the first twelve markers a number of people with that surname then you are certainly most likely from that locality. If your Cave relatives, match my first 12 Y-DNA markers then they received their surname from the region of N&S Cave, East Riding Yorkshire.

Belinda Dettmann 1 hour ago Mark, the Border Elliotts are from the line of R-L21>S193. As you are from R-U106>S16361 it is likely that your Elliott line comes through a female Elliott, whose partner was killed in battle. In other words you do not descend from the Elliott Border chiefs in direct male line. You are not a genealogist, because you will not go to Google Images and put in “Brigham DNA”. You will not read the links which go with the first four images, and you will refer to a second generation genealogist-engineer, who has been doing genealogy for more than a half century as a lair about ones own Y-DNA line, when the first rule of genealogy in order to even be considered a genealogist the family is correct. Dad’s research was FTDNA correct to 28 Mar 1692, record of Daniel Elliott of the Salem Witch trials. Yet if I am today to present results most accurately, someone will say of not my family who has not worked in the applied world as a math science, computer, engineering fields as and engineer, instructor at secondary and university level, and as with the authorities of the witch trials did with Daniel’s testimony make a lie out of the truth. By doing this at the time of Daniel Elliot, nineteen innocent people were hung and one was crushed. Genetic-genealogists, from/of Brigham Young University are scrutinizing the data-documentation I have shared and will come to there own results, like highly qualified people in the genetic genealogical sciences do.

The Redheugh shield/arms adopted about 1566 the ‘elwand’. An elwand is a standard sixteenth century measurement of lenght, which name is biblical, but many christian nations would have an elwand of various length, England 45 imperial inches, and Scotland a hair more not being on the English standard than 37 inches. The belt of Orion is noted to be the “king’s ell/eln/el”. Guess the king of England was fatter than the king of Scotland. The Elwald split, Gorrenberry to Ulster at time of Border Pacification (genocide), for a genocidal flag “The Union Jack”, which has separated our family like borders have separated them for over four centuries. Then ‘transported as slaves to the colonies’ Hamiltonian POW Royalist Charles II, Scots fighting the forces of Cromwell at Worcester, in the Cromwellian Civil. Those Tories trying to make a border in Ireland, my patriotic rebellious ancestors would around 1776 just string them up. The “elwand” symbolizes the Elwald of Redheugh and Gorrenberry, and says, ‘by measurement, not by words’.

Fitting to my line which supported Queen Marie Stuart of Scotland at Langholm 1569 with a bunch of other reivers of the West and Middle Scottish Marches, and were in on the rescue of Kinmont Willie Armstrong, with the Bells, from Carlisle Castle with Auld Walt of Harden in 1596. That Scrope took him on a truth day and Kinmont Willie needed to be rescue, so he could live out his days in his tower on the River Sark, near the Scots Dike, and be buried in Morton Kirk (church) cemetery there.

Gary Bradley, A lot of times the name Broadley, will evolve into Bradley, which is likely in your case, but there is a name locality near Broadley called Bradley, but others in England such as a North Bradley down south, so this leads me to believe since you brought it foreword the name originate from Broadley. Broadley, Whitworth, UK, fits the description and locality. If you are matching by Y-DNA people with the name Broadley, then most likely your name was Broadley of this locality, because it is most likely that the name would take away a letter ‘o’ than add it. Broadley is from the Anglo-Broadlee, which means a valley broad on the lee-leeward east side and steep on the windward west side this is the locality Broadley is located in.

It is bad enough to be a descendant of a notorious Liddesdale Border reiver Clementis Hobs, what is worst is being referred to as an elk (moose) of the woods. At least these days the elk (moose) seem to be invading Berlin.

When ‘Declaration of Abroath c.1320’ the border was place, it was place between existing families. These families had loyalties to each other more so than their respective kingdoms. The borderlands were a self governing body onto themselves, and the border dukes Buccleuch, Cessford (Roxburghe), and Northumberland, sustained the land. Today they still try to protect the land, instead of subdividing it. It is felt that Ralph Percy, 12th Duke of Northumberland is doing the best job of it so far, but he is one of singularity on the English side of the border, where Buccleuch and Roxburghe are on the Scottish side of the border. All these families are interconnected through marriages. Previous to a border pacification and a United Kingdom, these families were the main managers of the borderlands. Though the Duke of Northumberland is doing a good job on his side of the border in preservation of the lands for borderers, the Dukes of Buccleuch, and Roxburghe, have to deal with the Scottish Ministry, which would like to own a wind farm corporations, and destroy any concept of a National Scottish Peace Park in conjunction with the Northumberland National Park on the English side of the border. As more and more people around the world search their genealogy, and find they are of border families, and at border pacification, the making of the Middle Shires was intended for preservation of both sides of the border, these families tracing their lines will not wonder whether the Duke of Northumberland is preserving the English side of the border but will be concerned about the desecration, of their ancestral lands by the Scottish Ministry, not allowing the Dukes of Buccleuch and Roxburghe to protect their lands for ancestors returning to visit from abroad to their family homelands.

Just a bunch of Middle March borderers no matter which side of the border you lived on. More like families than clans.

Yes, have seen that too. Would love to make linkage back to these colorful hooligans, but so far it seems like the closest I get it a Wilkinson with no known genealogical connection who traces to Yester, Scotland in early 1700s. I presume he is from a parallel branch off a predecessor ancestor of both his line and mine descended from Thomas Wilkinson in Antrim (~1700, though he may have been born in Scotland). I have a number of low level Elliot/t matches too, interestingly.

“England and Scotland, 1286-1603” by Andy King and Claire Etty. Page 158. Referencing Wilkinson/Rede/Hedley in 1498. Affiliation with Reed makes senses as the next vale over from Coquetdale (where I know there was a family of Wilkinsons at least by late 1300s) is Redesdale if my memory serves me correctly.

John Wilkinson; “Yes, have seen that too. Would love to make linkage back to these colorful hooligans, …” “Affiliation with ‘Reed’ makes senses ..” Are you so sure about above because; The Death of Parcy Reed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeToAGZF7gI “Thieves of Liddesdale Thair is ane callit Clementis Hob Fra ilk puire wyfe reiffis thair wob And all the laif Quhat ever thay haif The devill ressaif thairfoir his gob.” http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Clementis-Hob1.pdf “Clementis Hobs”, (ie Clement Crozier’s sister’s son Robert Elliott)..
