If you have already had your Y-DNA tested, you can post it here. Just EMAIL me. The best way to send me your results is to (in ancestry.com) open your Y-DNA matches page, then press-hold Ctrl and pressPrintScreen (PrtScr). This captures the image on you screen. Open Paint, click paste save this screen capture then attach it to an email you send to me. In FTDNA, click on print certificate, save the certificate, attach it to an email that you send to me.

If you haven't had your Y-DNA tested (sorry gals, only men can take this test), but want to, I suggest you go to Family Tree DNA.com (aka FTDNA.com) and sign up for/purchase either a Y-37 Marker or a Y-67 Marker test (the more markers, the more accurate the results). Once you've sent in your test and your results have been posted, I can advise you how to proceed.

Here are links to the 3 top DNA testing companies, FTDNA (for Y-DNA & mtDNA tests), 23AndME.com (best for autosomal DNA tests) and AncestryDNA (autosomal testing only).

Trevor Kirkpatrick, descendant of Bernard Law Kirkpatrick (1798 - 1848 New Glascow, Pictou County, Nova Scotia) Haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1b (Kirkite[at]comcast.net)

Johnny Ray Kirkpatrick, descendant of John Hugh Kirkpatrick (1741 - 1812) and Hugh Kirkpatrick (ca 1695 - 1768) Haplogroup E1b1b1 E-M35.1+ (Kirkpatrickdnagroup[at]yahoo.com)



The following maps show the distribution of the E1b1b1 haplogroup (Johnny Ray Kirkpatrick's haplogroup) which is rather rare in Great Britain. It's been deduced that the E1b1b1 (also refered to as E3b, E-M35, and E-V13) haplogroup was introduced in Great Britain by Roman soldiers from the Balkans or ancient Thrace.
This article by Stephen C Bird (2007) explains it well.
