Biography
North Carolina native. Initially worked in mass media as a radio and newspaper reporter for more than 20 years. Later employed in training and education. Retired as an adult basic skills instructor from Cleveland Community College in Shelby, North Carolina.
Ancestry's Sep 2023 autosomal ethnicity estimate: 46 percent Scotland; 27 percent England and northwestern Europe (primarily Belgium); 13 percent Ireland; 6 percent Wales: 4 percent Sweden/Denmark; 2 percent Norway; 2 percent Germanic Europe. FTDNA yDNA haplogroup R-BY3103. Living DNA maternal mitochondrial DNA haplogroup H1a1.
Big Y 700 testing with Family Tree DNA identified the stream of SNPs for my R1b patrilineal line and includes R-P312>R-Z290>R-L21>R-S552>R-DF13>R-Z39589>R-DF41>R-A98>R-A100>R-FGC8662>R-Z9204>R-BY3103. Map of R-BY3103 centers on Argyll-Bute in Scotland per Dr. Rob Spencer's Tracking Back Britain and Ireland Surname and SNP mapping tool http://scaledinnovation.com/gg/biMapper.html
The FamilySearch.org tree for this family line has some discrepancies compared to my own tree but suggests the paternal line originated in Scotland. (The FamilySearch tree IDs for me and my father [Amos Thomas Black] are LYVJ-4KQ and LR2R-DJP.)
