RESEARCH - preliminary outline |
South Irish Project:
- Donors that have been tested for 58 markers
(multi-allele version of 67 markers) and a GD
-
less than or equal to 10 GD
of the 58 marker South Irish and
-
less than or equal to 3 GD of
Dr. Nordvedt's 12 marker South Irish
We're using a decision tree
based on slow moving markers to find families based on their
MRCA then adding the fast moving markers to identify
branches (not sure how to handle the medium markers). This
information will then be applied when the unique South
Irish SNP is found (and test donors take this SNP test) with
adjustments made to testing criteria and conclusions as
necessary.
Research Issue: We need to identify the slow and
fast moving markers before starting to decide family trees
and branches. The
FTDNA description of the slow and fast moving markers
(see 12,
25,
37 and
67 markers) are in conflict with the
ISOGG version
of same.
Eoganacht Sept Project: We're
starting with the Trinity Study in 2008. I noticed that
they used STR's to find out who the Eoganacht's may have been
based on their DNA. I believe the reason they couldn't come to
a conclusion is precisely that they used STRs and did
not identify the haplogroups of the test donors. The
documentation of the study (history of the Eoganachts) described
their ancestry but the testing of the STRs reflected the current
STR values of the test subjects. A closer alignment would
be to use deep ancestry DNA analysis (haplogroup analysis of the
individual STR tests) to the deep ancestry goals of the 2008
Trinity Study; i.e. studying the deep ancestry of the
Eoganachts.
I believe that by identifying the haplogroups of
the test donors (see
workbook columns AZ and BA, Best Match L-21 Project and
Closest Match respectively) the study would have found the MRCA
of the test donors which would have identified their ancestry.
This is the foundation of my study of the Eoganachts. The study
will eventually include those in the Normal Curve that are South
Irish, possibly those that are Irish Type III, and those whose
haplogroups may have been in the area prior to the time of the
Eoganachts. Those outside the Normal Curve will be explained
before being eliminated or rethought as to belonging to the
Eoganachts.
- Identify the haplogroups of those that have a
Eoganacht surname
- if South Irish they are included, if not
decide whether the test donor haplogroup:
- existed prior to surnames (1000-1100
AD)
- assimilated later (changed to
Eoganacht names to be under the protection of the
Eoganachts)
- is Irish Type III
- Identify the haplogroups of those who are
South Irish but do not have a Eoganacht surname
- Include as belonging to the Eoganachts
