I will let you make your own evaluation as to the Western European location of these genetic cousins that I shared a common ancestor with some 500 plus years ago.

Haplogroup R1b-L21 Map

SNP / R1b-DF13+

I have been positioned at L21 on the very large Haplogroup R1b Tree for quite sometime. The L21 snp is know as one of the major Celtic branches.

Recently I tested for snp DF13 which is one of two downstream subclades of L21. I tested positive for DF13.

So next step was to use a mathematical algorithm to predict snp's that might generate positive test results. I received a 90% possibility of testing positive for snp L1335 (Scots Modal) which is a major subclade from DF13.

Currently below L1335 is L1065. I was also predicted at 90% to test positive for this snp. At this time it appears that L1065 separates the Welsh and Scots, with Scots only testing positive for L1065, I will be safe and wait for results on L1335.

It will be toward the end of July before lab results are complete for L1335.

Until Then!

The following Phylogenetic Tree has been changing with additions almost on a weekly basis so be sure to check for updates on the above url. 

 L21 is a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism that characterizes a major R haplogroup. There are a number of subclades downstream of L21 (see the YCC phylogenetic tree on your "myFTDNA" pages' "Haplotree & SNPs" page or the ISOGG phylogenetic R tree).

What is a SNP or Single Nucleotide Polymorphism? A "SNP" (generally pronounced "SNiP") - Single Nucleotide Polymorphism - represents a change at a single nucleotide (A=adenine, C=cytosine, G=guanine, T=thymine) on the y chromosome. In the case of L21, that change occurred at the position known as rs11799226, where we have a change to "G" from the "C" most everyone else has. You can trace our shared ancestry by using the YCC phylogenetic tree on your "myFTDNA" pages' "Haplotree & SNPs" page or the ISOGG phylogenetic R tree. The ancestry of all L21+ men, in terms of SNPs, runs like this:

M207+ . . . M173+ . . . M343+ . . . P25+ . . . P297+ . . . M269+ . . . L23+ . . . L51+ . . . L11+ . . . P312+ . . . L21+

Background

Luckey: Irish spelling of Scottish Luckie.

Luckie: Scottish: reduced Anglicized form of a pet form of Gaelic Mac Lùcais (see McLucas).

McLucas: Scottish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Lùcais, patronymic from the personal name Lucas.

Lucas:
1. English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, etc.: from the Latin personal name Lucas (Greek Loukas) ‘man from Lucania’. Lucania is a region of southern Italy thought to have been named in ancient times with a word meaning ‘bright’ or ‘shining’. Compare Lucio. The Christian name owed its enormous popularity throughout Europe in the Middle Ages to St. Luke the Evangelist, hence the development of this surname and many vernacular derivatives in most of the languages of Europe. Compare Luke. This is also found as an Americanized form of Greek Loukas.
2. Scottish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Lùcais (see McLucas).

Y-DNA Testing

Discover the Origin of Your Paternal Line with a Y-DNA Test

Connect with genetic cousins and uncover the deep ancestral origin of your direct paternal line (your father, your father’s father, etc.) though Y-DNA testing. This is available for males only.

Results Include:

genetic matches, paternal ancestral origins, paternal haplogroup, haplogroup migration map, haplogroup frequency map, and test results certificate. Family Tree DNA does not charge a subscription fee and will continue to update you about new matches and other information regarding your results.   

• Matches These are genetic cousins who share the same direct paternal line. You will have access to your matches’ e-mail addresses and genealogical information they have provided. You can begin exchanging information as soon as your results arrive!*
• Ancestral Origins Your matches’ paternal origins, listed by country, provide clues to your own recent geographic and ethnic ancestry.*
• Predicted Haplogroup This is your predicted place on the paternal genetic tree of humankind.
• Migration Map & Frequency Map Interactive maps detail the ancient migrations of your paternal ancestors and the distribution of your haplogroup from more recent times.
• Y-DNA Certificate This is a printable certificate that includes your name and your marker (STR) values.
• Updates As our database grows, you will receive notifications about new matches. There are no subscription fees for this service!

* This feature is optional.

What Level of Y-DNA Should I Test?

The level of Y-DNA testing you choose determines how closely you are related to your matches. The more markers you test and match, the more closely related you are to the person you match.
