BY109515 Families

• Line of John Nicholson (ca. 1740 - aft. 1810)

Y DNA Test Takers

Of the total number of male Nicholson descended from John Nicholson, who have tested their Y DNA, there are five persons (FTDNA Kit #s B168700, B133107, 15680, and two unidentified kit numbers) who provided family trees which clearly showed line of descent. Two tested to Y-37, one to Y-67, one to Y-111, and one to Big Y-700. Four test takers descend from sons of John (Shadrack, Thomas, Michael, and Benjamin). The fifth descends from John's brother, William (ca. 1740-1802). The Big Y-700 test (the deepest test available on the market right now, which provides the most detail), revealed a terminal haplogroup of BY13692. All the other test takers have only tested to the basic haplogroup of M269. More details coming.

NOTE: 23andMe is projecting Nicholson males, descended from John and William, as Y4010. This is an inaccurate reading of haplogroup. For anyone who has tested 23andMe, alone, please test with Family Tree DNA for a more accurate read.

Haplogroup BY109515 Age Estimation

• Per FTDNA, Haplogroup R-BY109515 represents a man who is estimated to have been born around 1,100 years ago, plus or minus 450 years. That corresponds to about 950 CE with a 95% probability he was born between 500 CE and 1400 CE.
