Wow! I've always said Peter CARRICO is my most intriguing ancestor. It just gets
better and better.
I've tested my autosomal DNA at both 23andMe and FTDNA. At the former, I come up 0.1%
East Asian (including Mongolia); at the latter, I'm 2% Central Asian (east of Caspian
Sea).
Please be certain to transfer your 23andMe results to your FTDNA account:

Diana,
I looked at the Dmanisi on Wikipedia, it says the area was conquered by the Turco-Mongol
armies between 1123-1125. My 23andMe result came back with 0.1% Mongol

Hello List,
Four descendants of Peter CARRICO, 1674 immigrant to Maryland, have been BigY
tested, and all four have submitted their test results to
YFull.com for
analysis.
http://www.yfull.com/
The analyses are complete for only two of them; analyses for the other two are
pending. The results, so far, are interesting enough that I didn't want to wait
for all four to be completed before putting what we have online, on this page:
http://dgmweb.net/DNA/Carrico/CarricoDNA-BigY-YFull-Y17067.html
There's no point in repeating, here, what I say, there, but I would highlight
the fact that we are even more rare than we believed. This is both intriguing
and way kewl, in my book, but it is a bit of a disappoint with regard to our
historical origin.
Our unique subclade, J2-M17067, branched off the J2 haplotree so soon after the
appearance of J2-M67, that it gives us no clue as to our recent, as in
historical, geographic origin - beyond what we already knew about the origin of
J2-M67, which appeared ca. 12,500 YBP (years before present) in a geographic
region East of the Black Sea.
Now, if you follow developments in paleoanthropology, this is a very interesting
region from which to have originated - just Google "Dmanisi." Not to imply we
were there 1.8 MYBP (million years before present), only that it has been an
important place in human history ever since. The ancient "Silk Road" passes
through it.
On the up side, it does appear that the STR markers included in the BigY may
very well help us in defining lines of descent from Peter. We'll know better
when the rest of the analyses return.
