Biography

Roberts Y-DNA test # 157652 / Haplogroup R1a, Set 01

I can only see 3 Roberts who belong to our subclade R1a-L664 namely: #69954, #145522 and #157652.

Martin Voorwinden (Netherlands) Co-adm. R1a-Project (Subclade L664)

Welcome to our R1a-project. To all new members of R1a-Subclade L664 we send the following text:

Because your haplotype shows DYS388=10 this means you are part of the Section 2. (North-Western European Branch). For all other members of haplogroup R1a the value of DYS388 is nearly always 12, this means DYS388=10 is an unique marker for our Section 2. This Section 2. is further identified by the SNP's CTS4385 and L664. A very small minority in Section 2. is positive for CTS4385 but negative for L664 and they also have the normal value of 12 for DYS388 and not 10. So we think the STR mutation DYS388=10 occurred more or less at the same time as the SNP mutation L664. About 6500 years ago the main branch of R1a-M417 splits into 2 branches resp. R1a1-CTS4385 and R1a1-Z645. Nearly all members of haplogroup R1a (>99%), who live today, belong to one of these two branches. Our branch R1a-CTS4385>L664 survived until today, but is relative very small in number. In our FTDNA R1a1-project only 5% belongs to R1a1-CTS4385>L664 and therefor 95% belongs to R1a1-Z645.

It is very remarkable that nearly all members of R1a-CTS4385>L664 (about 97%) have their origin only in the countries around the North Sea (British Isles, Norway/Sweden, Denmark, NW-Germany, Netherlands). The subclade R1a1-CTS4385>L664 is represented by only 0,2 - 0,9% of the total population in the countries around the North Sea. The subclade R1a1-CTS4385>L664 has a wide diversity in STR-haplotypes, and the subclade can be divided in several subgroups. Since the results of the BigY tests are available we can build a haplotree based on SNP's and the subgroups are now named according to their specific SNP. On the y-dna result page of our R1a-project you can find to which subgroup you belong.

DNA

Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. David Curtis Roberds Jr, FTDNA kit #B223817, and his 6th cousin, Joseph Grant Roberts, FTDNA kit #157652, match at a Genetic Distance of 2 on 37 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA Thomas Roberds. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 7 generations is 84.45% and within the last 8 generations is 89.02%.

Walter Roberds 1800 • Union District, South Carolina / Males - 45 and over = 1; Females - 45 and over = 1; Females - Under 10 = 1

Walter Roberts Senior 1830 • Wayne, Butler County, Ohio / Males - 90 thru 99 = 1; Females - 70 thru 79 = 1
