A DNA result is recorded on one person and every relative on the same father-to-son (Y-DNA) or
mother-to-child (mtDNA) line carries it on their own page. These are the lines this family has
results for, from 2 recorded results.
Terminal branch of "North Uist Lineage #1" in the Ferguson - North Uist Y-DNA Project: three Big Y-700 kits whose declared ancestors are John Ferguson b. 1774 (kit 457027), Neil Ferguson b. 1789 North Uist d. 1866 (kit N234513) and Murdoch McLea 1766 (kit 194971). Everyone on John's and Neil's father-to-son lines carries it.
I-M170Haplogroup I, defined by the marker M170. The Genographic Project places the man in whom it arose about 20,000 years ago, probably in one of the ice-age refuge areas of the Balkans, and describes the lineage as largely confined to Europe. On the Genographic marker path it follows M168 > P143 > M89 > L15 > P123.
M253Haplogroup I1, defined by the marker M253. The Genographic Project dates it to roughly 15,000 years ago and attributes its origin to the Iberian ice-age refugia, with the marker found at high frequency throughout north-west Europe today. This is the terminal branch recorded for the Stallmann paternal line of this tree, from a twelve-marker Genographic Y-chromosome certificate of 2010.
R-M2222The large "north-west Irish" branch of R1b (below DF49 and L21), strongly associated with Donegal, Derry and Tyrone and with Highland and Hebridean Scotland; the root of everything the North Uist Ferguson project records.
Z29592First step below M222 on the North Uist Ferguson line (FamilyTreeDNA path R-M222 > Z2959 > S658 > DF104 > DF105 > DF85 > S673 > BY25946 > FT94064).
S6582Intermediate SNP below Z2959 on the M222 line, as ordered on the Ferguson - North Uist project page.
DF1042Intermediate SNP below S658 on the M222 line.
DF1052A major M222 subclade below DF104; the level at which many Ulster and west-Scottish lineages separate.
DF852Subclade of DF105; the Fergus(s)on Surname Project heads the North Uist section "R-M222 >> DF85 > S673 >> FT94064".
S6732Subclade of DF85 that carries the North Uist Ferguson lineage and its neighbours. The deepest level FamilyTreeDNA's single-SNP tests reach: kit 680865 (William J Ferguson 1872-1927, lead only) is confirmed to here and no further.
FT940642The branch shared by the North Uist Ferguson lineage (FT93868) and a pre-surname Boyd line (FTD49564, kit 803176, Thomas Boyd c.1710 Northern Ireland). The stray "R-M222 >> S673 >> FT94064" text that used to sit on several Ferguson birth events referred to this branch.
FT938682Terminal branch of "North Uist Lineage #1" in the Ferguson - North Uist Y-DNA Project: three Big Y-700 kits whose declared ancestors are John Ferguson b. 1774 (kit 457027), Neil Ferguson b. 1789 North Uist d. 1866 (kit N234513) and Murdoch McLea 1766 (kit 194971). Everyone on John's and Neil's father-to-son lines carries it.
FTD49564Sister branch of FT93868 under FT94064 - the project's "1b. Pre-surname connection to North Uist #1": kit 803176, declared ancestor Thomas Boyd c.1710, Northern Ireland. One step removed from the Ferguson line; the common ancestor predates the surnames. No Boyd is recorded in this tree - the connection lives here and on the kit's source row.
Every mtDNA branch
UMitochondrial haplogroup U, reached from East Africa along the branch path L1/L2/L3 > N > R > U. The Genographic Project lists its subgroups as U*, U1, U1a, U1b, U2, U3, U4 and U7, and says most members of the haplogroup are found in north-eastern Europe today.
U4Subclade U4 of mitochondrial haplogroup U. The Genographic Project's arrow for this line ends in Northern Europe and Scandinavia. Recorded in this tree from a 2010 Genographic mtDNA certificate whose HVR1 sequence differs from the Cambridge Reference Sequence at positions 16356C and 16519C.
