Our Goldfoot Family DNA
Our Goldfoot's dna is of the male line, or Ydna. It is Q1b originating from the Altai Mountains of Siberia, Mongolia and parts of Turkey. It is thought to be from the kingdom of Khazaria and is directly from the Ashina Royal dynasty. The royalty of that empire had not been Jewish, but was into shamenism. The head man listened to speakers from Christian, Muslim and Jewish representatives and chose Judaism for his royal house to follow. Being they were on the silk road and on the crossroads of trade, this seemed to be a wise selection. The royalty spoke many languages and had to deal with many types of people. This royal house existed around 700AD and when it fell, the Jewish men moved into Eastern Europe to be found in Poland, Lithuania and Russia and places in the area. Today the Q1b's make up only 5% of the male Jewish population in the world.
Our Jermulowske dna or mt dna is found to be W. This is a rare group, also found in the Altai mountain area for women. You can call it "Wilma Flintstone". Sykes didn't even know about it, and it actually one of the primordial "out of Africa" haplogroups. First, a little about the female dna. In fact, we are a W with the following exponents: 16145A, 16223T, 16265G, and 16519C. This is from a low resolution HVR1 test. It shows we are an Askenazi Jewish line. Not all W's are found in Jewish women. Our line is young, dating only from about 25,000 years ago and is an outgrowth of a larger group, not even listed by Sykes, called N, which dated back 65,000 years ago. N1 was found in Southern Siberia and was found in a 2,500 year old Scytho-Siberian burial in the Altai region.
Bryan Sykes wrote a book about female dna called "The Seven Daughters of Eve." He explained that 98% of all people of Western Europe descend from only seven women who lived in Europe within the last 50,000 years. These mothers descend from a common ancestor, Eve, who lived in Africa about 100,000 to 200,000 years ago. I guess this is where the garden of Eden was.
Our DNA makes us and comes from our mother and father. There are 23 chomosome pairs, one from each parent. The 23rd is different. You either get two xx's making you a female or you get an xy, making you a male. That's why a man can be tested and get the results of his mother and his father's dna. We females can only be tested for our mother's line. One interesting thing is that our mother's line goes back to the garden of Eden, just about without any change. A male dna line can mutate quite often, which lets us know more about what they've been up to.
