Vikings 2 Group

This group has genetic patterns common to Scandinavia. Since Vikings raided and settled in Scotland between about 850 and 1400 a.d., it is not too surprising to find this pattern amongst Camerons. One participant can trace their family back to Kilmonivaig.

Kits in this group are 57064, 57223, and 110023.

These families have a genetic distance of 0 and the Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor is about 180 years (assuming a generation every 30 years).

Reading the Genetic Distance Chart

If you look at kit        in the top line and kit        in the left column, the square where they intersect is a greeen 0.

FIRST look for the color in the squares. Green means a definite relationship, Yellow is a probable relationship, and Red is a possible relationship. In this case, there is definitely a relationship between kit        and        .

THEN look at the number in the square. This is the numerical difference between two sets of markers and is useful for calculating the number of generations back the two families are likely to have shared a common ancestor. In this case, the genetic distance is 0.

The white boxes reflect the number of markers tested in that particular kit. Look where        across the top intersects with the line from 49653 in the left column–there is white square with “       ” in it.

Modal is basically the average marker values for all the people in this group and is best used for statistical analyses of large groups.
