Hi Liz,
Something not quite right here.
There is a 99.999% match between John (Pennsylvania) and self, indicating a
direct link between two Yorkshire sets of Cattleys, yet they are listed
below as two different Haplogroups, this surely can not be?
I have attempted to understand some of the many web sites that give an
insight into deciphering the tests that the likes of FTDNA perform but get
hopelessly bogged down in Loci's/Locus, DYS values and Alleles within
Haplogroups.
I think that what the likes of David M and self are asking is the results of
an RAO test, which as you probably know, stands for "Recent Ancestral
Origins" which should give the probable likely answer as to whether one is
Celtic (pre Anglo Saxon) Danish or Norse.
I have tried to understand the RAO tests and results but became hopelessly
bogged down in technicalities again!
Regards
Tim C.

Subject: [CATLEY] Haplotypes
Hi All,
I have looked at various sites with regards to origins of different
haplotypes. This is my theory. How do people know where we came from
before
the ice age? Well I think that by collecting DNA samples and placing
them
on
the map of the world in groups helps them to see the bigger picture.
According to the test My dads and Johns ancestors came from the Balkens
part
of Eastern Europe then they possibly came over with the Romans. John
David
stems from the Anglo Saxons. None of this is pre ice age. Before the ice
age
England was part of the French coastline going all the way up to
Belgium
and
Holland. In fact I watched a program the other day where they have
found
many prehistoric bones in the North Sea which proves this point. So we
could
have come from anywhere. So the more DNA samples they get then the
easier
it
gets to pin point and area but they must have had DNA samples from
dead
people found buried over thousands of years ago to establish some sort of
area. Roots web had a site where you could look at DNA results. If you
punch
in your DNA Haplotype in your browser it will give you a better idea
of
where you come from. Look out for the Rootsweb one.
I hope this makes sense
John and my dad are I1B
Tim Alan and Peter are R1b1
Peter is R1B
Leonard is I
None of the sites I have looked at can pin point an exact area.
So the next best thing would be to find the area your DNA came from then
look back in time to before the ice age to find out where you could
poosbly
have come from.
Please let me have your views on the matter.
Liz
