WELCOME!

While this is the former BY3368 Y DNA Project page... with Y DNA information being revealed by more Big Y-700 tests over the past few years, that project has changed to the new BY3374 Y DNA Project. You can see links to that project, below.

The age estimation for BY3368 is ca. 950 AD/CE, at which time, these people (based upon BY3364 Big Y-700 test-taker information) were in modern Yorkshire, England, and were possibly associated with the Kingdom of Elmet^[1].

Test-takers who are currently BY3368 (subclade/branch of BY3374) are Agar (kit #B215899) and Ardrey (kit # unknown). Neither are a match to each other at any level (Y-12 to Y-111), indicating a GD of more than 10. Agar claims ancestry in Yorkshire, while it's likely Ardrey is connected to the Ardrey line of Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Beyond these two kits, at least two (Bostick - kit # unknown, and Chesser - #N14023) claim ancestry in Yorkshire, and Cheshire counties, respectively. This gives us a "breadcrumb" trail, from 450 AD/CE.

Given BY3368 did not emerge until ca. 950 AD/CE, this also indicates the BY3368 Scotland branches (BY3374 and one other not yet identified) of BY3368 did not arrive in that area until (likely) the early to late 11th century. Of course, BY3374, while covering a range of surnames, had its progenitor in a Mor/Mure/Muir. Ardrey (BY3368>TBD) has zero matches at Y-111. Brown (kit #158234) is a 19th century NPE (John Brown, 1865-1938, was born to Margaret Brown, daughter of Andrew and Margaret Brown), born in Campbelltown, Argyll).</ref>
