Who Am I?

The first 12 markers of our Powell DNA are
in. I am so excited. I can't wait for the other
25 marker test. I may break loose with more
money for more tests. Clayton will not have to
scrap his check again...they have the dna.

OK...here are 4 y matches to our father with 11
of the 12 makers ...we will know more when our 37
marker test is complete and it is to be done by the
last of October. The Powe family below came through
VA and he has a gedcom of his ancestors at the site.
John Richard Powell (Y67) rpowell@powellmetto.com
Mr. Terrell James Powell (Y67) tpowell@pmsiofflorida.com
Mr. Steven Grenville Powell steven.powell@sky.com
Leon Johnathan Lyell (poe) (Y25) l.lyell@latrobe.edu.au
I know John Richard is descended from
Worthy Powell, but these others I do not
know. One is a Poe???

Also our haplo group is R1b1b2

What is a halpo group...copied this from
Family Tree Maker
The haplogroups are the major branches on the Y chromosome tree, defined single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which have accumulated along different lineages as Y chromosomes are passed from father to son over many generations. All haplogroups ultimately descend from a single Y chromosome carried by a male that lived in the distant past. The topology of the Y chromosome tree can be reconstructed by typing mutations in different human populations – as more SNPs are discovered (e.g., M254), the structure of the tree changes. Originally, the Y Chromosome Consortium (YCC) arbitrarily defined 18 haplogroups (A-R), which represent the major divisions of human diversity based on Y chromosome SNPs. Currently there are 20 haplogroups (A-T). In turn, each of these major haplogroups has numbered subgroups, or subclades, that are named with alternating letters and numbers.

And Mr. Poe has a gedcom so now I am going to
go look at our cousins of a different name.
Patsy...you can put that number in google and
find more about R1b1b2
