Overview

This page delves into the intricate details surrounding the R-S20045 haplogroup, tracing back to around 200BCE, and explores the potential cultural affiliations and historical contexts of this genetic marker.

The evolution of R-S20045 from its ancestral haplogroup around 200 CE over a span of approximately 2,000 years suggests a scenario of a small population size or a bottleneck, where only one lineage endured through time.

Cultural Affiliations

The cultural affiliations of S20045 pose a nuanced challenge due to limited data. However, several conjectures can be made based on existing historical and genetic evidence:

• Pre-Viking Norway Cultural Group: A notable individual, Nordland 1502 from Iron Age Europe (300 - 400 CE Z17>Z372), discovered in contemporary Engeløya, Norway, was linked to this cultural group which was characterized by clan-based societal structures, engaged in warfare, trade, and early agriculture.

• Nordic Bronze Age: The R-Z18 haplogroup, to which R-S20045 is potentially related, predominantly appears in Scandinavia and regions impacted by Germanic migrations and the Viking Age. This haplogroup diverges from the broader R-U106 haplogroup in its temporal and geographic distribution, hinting at a possible origin in the Nordic Bronze Age.

• Other Cultures: Several other cultures, like the Unetice, Tumulus, Urnfield, and Bell Beaker Cultures, were present in the vicinity during the relevant period, although definitive associations with S20045 remain elusive due to the lack of concrete evidence.

The recorded descendants of R-S20045 are currently limited to 12 individuals. Further insights into the descendants outside the Glasgow group can be acquired using the Discover Group tool.

• R-S14827 (~380CE) earliest ancestor: Carl Frederik Wilhelm Carlsen (abt.1812-1842)
• R-FT4811 (~990CE) earliest ancestor: Alexander Churnside (1838-abt.1873)
• R-FT32941 (~1070CE) earliest ancestor: Duffield (~1500s)
• R-FT25406 (~1440CE) earliest ancestor: Jeremiah Glasgo (abt.1713-1777)

An intriguing link posits that Alexander Churnside [might be a descendant of](https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/first-ancestor/M8Y9-SRV) Patrick Chirnside, born in 1455 in Chirnside, Berwickshire, Scotland.
