I had a Y-chromosome DNA test done a few years back
Cheers!!!

Cheers Thomas! Good to see you.

My Y-test (or paternal ancestor) goes back in West Sweden for at least 350-450 years, probably longer, where I have a handful of matches with paternal ancestry to that region (Västergötland = Westrogothia). Then there is a fairly big jump back in the years pointing to late migration period 5-700 AD or maybe to the early viking age 750-900 where the paternal ancestry focuses to western Scotland. Apparently two sons has ended up in different places there somewhere. I have contact with some 10-15 ppl that shares the same paternal ancestry and we are trying to get more clearity by testing more people if there might be a viking excursion that rooted in western Scotland or another story.

Take care friend!

Lots of Viking ancestry in this part of Scotland (South East) Stajo.

Indeed. If I wider the perspective, ie taking more branches around the 10-15 that are fairly closely related to my paternal line, it is south and west Sweden, Denmark and all the British Islands that pops up matches. In the ages before interstate highways and railways land routes were just boggy and stoney with impenetrable woods. Instead the waterways were the highways. Therefore south and west Sweden were far more interconnected with Denmark, southern Norway and the British Islands then it was with northern and eastern Sweden. It can clearly be seen in my match lists.

I have some Scottish DNA from my Ross ancestors. My strongest line seems to be from my English Foster lineage tho. Basically I'm a mutt of mixed breeding - but then what could be expected from someone that has five sisters from five different mothers and an adopted name that changed me from Emery to Jennings and now I discover that Emery should actually be Cole.

Life goes on and somewhere inside of me is the being that really counts - and perhaps what is in the past needs to stay in the past. I'm glad to discover those things about the family and where it came from but things are what they are. Sometimes I get off to wondering about this amazing thing that we call DNA and how we are all tied together by something that we can barely see and are still figuring out how it all works.

oh yeah , so typical for Nashville :rofl:

though , I more likeeee this type of Nashville sound :

YouTube

Very nice music ZM. There are about 100,000 musicians hanging around Nashville and each one is better than the last one.... There is some amazing talent in this town and most of them are waiting on tables or serving coffee or sum such thing until the day that they get "discovered". :rolleyes:

Lazy Dodo's...... the bars must not be closed yet because nobody is posting weird stories about silly things......

I found a new cousin today doing my genealogy stuff.... and I considered using my virtual shovel that I use when digging up my virtual dead ancestors to make an electric shovel like in video that ZM posted.... :cool:

There - that's enough trouble for now.... so go back to table and have a drink for me.... :D:cheers::cheers:
