DNA

mtDNA haplogroup A2a5

  • Origin: North America. "Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup A2a5 is a Native Americas branch on the maternal tree of humanity. This young branch of the tree was born between 250 and 1,750 years ago to a woman who lived among the Athabaskan ("Dené'") language speakers in what is now Canada." [3][4][5][6]
  • Mutations common to A2a5: T3552C T12166C A16233G A16331G C16362T! ('!' denotes a back-mutation) [7]
  • Distinctive mutations not common to A2a5: 150T, 14696G, and heteroplasmy 16192Y
  • My earliest proven common matrilineal ancestor along this line was an immigrant from Scotland. This likely represents the intermarriage of a Scots male ancestor of Jessie Munro with a Native-American woman. [8][9]
  • The next most distant maternal ancestor along this line was Margaret McTavish, born to an unknown Dené mother in Canada in 1799, and migrated to Scotland, then New York.

Y-DNA haplogroup R-Z2108

  • R-Z2108, Z2109, CTS1843, from Y-DNA testing at FamilyTree.
  • R1b1a1a2a2c1, a subclade of R-M269
    • R-M269 > R-L23 > R-Z2103 > R-M12149 > R-Z2106 > R-Z2108 (R-CTS1843/Z2109 * Z2108) [10]

Confirmations

  • Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group consisting of David Brodeur, "RCC" (first cousins), and Jason Henderson (their third cousin), sharing a 25.0 cM segment on chromosome 11 from 123018371 to 134410875. David and RCC match 868 cM over 33 segments. The most recent common ancestors of the triangulated group are (2xgreat-grandparents) Henry S Palmer & Isabella Liddell.
  • Maternal relationship is confirmed by an Ancestry DNA test match (123 cM across 10 segments) between David Brodeur and "GLP", a child of Harry Albert Palmer Jr. David and GLP are second cousins once removed, with most recent common ancestors Henry S Palmer & Isabella Liddell.
  • Maternal relationship is confirmed by an Ancestry DNA match between 2nd cousins David Brodeur and TB, 252 cM across 14 segments. Their MRCA are Frank Brodeur and Louise Mayotte, David by their son Edward, and TB by their son Arthur, then by his son Armand.
  • Maternal relationship confirmed with an 23andMe test match between David Brodeur and his 3rd cousin "KBK", with a 60 cM (0.88%) match across 5 segments. Their most recent common ancestors (2xgreat-grandparents) are Marcel Mayotte and Elmira Allaire. David is the great-grandson of their daughter Louise Mayotte Brodeur, and KBK is the great-granddaughter of their daughter Alphonsine "Phosine" Mayotte Brothers (1889-1955).
  • Maternal relationship confirmed by an Ancestry DNA match between 3rd cousins David Brodeur and DMR, 63 cM across 4 segments. Their MRCA are Marcel Mayotte and Elmira Allaire, David by their daughter Louise, and DMR by their son Louis Joseph (1887-1951)
  • Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group whose details are provided in the free-space profile, Quad-AB1778, sharing an 8.7 cM segment on chromosome 5 from 170,802,187 to 173,750,984. The most recent common ancestors of the four-member triangulation group are Antoine Brodeur dit LaVigne (1778 - 1862) & Marie-Amable Bougret dit Dufort (1788-1851).
  • Maternal relationship confirmed by a FTDNA match/triangulation among Benoît Bousquet, Frédéric Assabgui, and David Brodeur. Using the FTDNA chromsome browser, they share a common 34.3 cM segment on chromosome 7 between 33.5M and 73.0M (7760 SNPs). Benoît and Frédéric are first cousins to each other, and both are 8th cousins once removed to David. Due to pedigree collapse, it is not possible to distinguish whether the MRCA were Pierre Bousquet & Marie Banlier, or Jean-Baptiste Brodeur and Marie-Anne Messier. They all descend equally from both couples. In the lineage of BB and FA, Wilfrid Bousquet and his wife Herculine Gaudet (a Brodeur descendant) were fourth cousins once removed (see relationship).

8th Cousins once removed on my dad’s side🦞Hi from Cape Cod
Hey David,

I just stumbled on a comment you made on the profile of Joel King, EJ King's grandfather, and wanted to say it's great to see another WikiTreer involved with Sacred Harp! I started singing with my local group in Bloomington, Indiana a little over a year ago.

I wanted to let you know that I've been adding some more folks to the Sacred Harp category you appear to be responsible for creating, some more composers from the Denson family and a handful of others. Currently hoping to add all the members of the 1849-1850 revision committee. If there's any chance you'd be interested in coordinating on this, let me know! Regardless, thought it'd be nice to reach out. & if you're ever passing through Indiana, feel free to come sing with us up here!

Best regards, Thomas Koehnline

Hi David,

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. This is a courtesy email to share the After Adopting Orphans FAQ which explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

If you will be working with any profiles needing GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Debi

Hi David,

Have you found the Portugal Project main page yet? You can access Resources and Teams from there. I see you also have ancestors from São Miguel - would you like to be on the Açores team?

Congratulations on the impressive amount of research you have done on your family lines. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Hi David,

Of course, I emailed you earlier, but I wanted to comment that it's lovely to "meet" you! You are probably a cousin to my ex-husband, who descends from Philomene. I will be updating her profile shortly and if I can ever share anything of interest, let me know. Always happy to share and collaborate!

Hello again David,

It looks like you are doing fabulous work with your WikiTree profiles! Let me know if you still want to join the Portugal Project.

Please consider joining the 1776 project, David. I have noticed that you have been working on some Minutemen and doing wonderful work.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:1776 Best wishes, Natalie

Hi David,

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.

It looks like Mayflower would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Changing your tag to Mayflower will help you get updates about activity for that project.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

Hi

Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.

Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As we always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.

Thank you for being a Wikitreer,

Guy Constantineau - Wikitree leader - Portail Francophone

I see you added the DNA tag to your profile. Here are a few links & tips to help you along in the journey of WikiTree and DNA.

It's not hard to add DNA test information to profiles on WikiTree, just make sure you add the tests to the actual test participant's profile & set the Privacy to ‘Private w/ Public Biography & Family Tree’ to show the tester's part of our tree. For help see  How to DNA on WikiTree

Here's a great YouTube video with all sorts of questions answered Getting Started with DNA.
