Q Haplotype #3

This geographical match table below was prepared for a "Border Reiver" haplotype that had no close matches in

Ysearch for which a specific haplogroup had been either verified by a SNP test or estimated by FTDNA.

It bears some features of an R1b haplotype - and may still be one. However, it also exhibits features of a Q haplotype,

such as a DYS390 marker value of 23 and a DYS391 marker value of 10. Most importantly, both the "Border Reiver"

haplotype from which this partial haplotype was drawn, and the vast majority of its closest matches in the YHRD

database, have unusually high DYS385a,b marker values. This feature is rare for R1b, but typical for haplogroup Q.

Finally, the match pattern itself forces the issue. The highest frequencies below fall in East Asia, Scandinavia and

the Caucasus.  This is a combination that would make little sense for an R1b haplotype, but readily corresponds to

the migration pattern that has recently been hypothesized for haplogroup Q.

This haplotype most likely came to Britain with the Norse Vikings, or with Roman troops

and settlers of Western Asian or Eastern European descent.

Q Haplotype #4

The partial haplotype below scored four matches in South American Indian samples, and one in a sample of U.S.

Hispanics. Although this match table was prepared for two "Border Reivers" of largely British American origin,

it clearly suggests that their paternal ancestors were Native Americans and not directly from the Old World at all.

This haplotype may also belong to Q3.

Q Haplotype #5

The haplotype below differs from the "Old Norse" Q Modal Haplotype by 1 step on DYS19, which is 14 where it should be 13.

The single match falls in Norway, and clearly suggests a Norse ancestry.

Q Haplotype #6

The only match for this haplotype occurs in an East Asian sample, rather than in South or Central Asia.

This raises the possibility of a Native American origin for this haplotype, given that it was prepared for a

"Border Reiver" descendant from the rural United States.

Q Haplotype #7

The match for the haplotype below was prepared for a Border Reivers participant whose surname has a Norse

origin. Considering that the closest matches in YHRD fall exclusively in Scandinavia, we can conclude that this

individual's ancestors definitely came to Britain with the Vikings.
