Dna test results

[skauwt]

well i got the first 12 markers in im just awaiting the others up to the 37 point which are due in a few weeks

the results show i come from the Haplogroup I2b1 Brit & NW Eur

and the mtdna results came in for group J* which is the theoretical jasmine who they say lived something like 30000 years ago my mtdna side goes back to ireland furthest i can trace back so far with the paper trail is 1840 in ennis ireland
so folks does anyone on here share the same haplogroup as myself

Ive traced my Chisholm side back to approx 1590 the earliest record i have is a James Chisholm married in 1619 at kelso so i assume he was about 20-30 at the time of marriage he may have been older or younger but i`ll have no way of knowing for sure
now with regards to the surname DNA project i only share my DNA with another Chisholm somewhere in the world so it more or less proves that the Chisholm border chief line did come from mainland Europe at some point rather than the highlands as some Chisholm's seem to think

on the Chisholm genealogies site one of the moderators also said there is the chance im from "the Chisholm's of that ilk" sadly im not too sure what he meant with that information, i know i had a laird ancestor in the 1670s and those mods reckon there is a connection with "the ilk" due to the possession of land perhaps through a uncle or other relative

anyway where are my i2b1 and j*cousins show yourself i wanna say hi
