Goldfoot DNA: Q1b1a
Our Ydna has been classified further as Q1b1a. As more people test and familytreedna gets more information, this happens. Also, I had added a further small test to be done. Classifying takes time. Mutations are found in testing SNP's. As more are found, we may find that our origins were somewhere in the Middle East.
Wikipedia tells us that "Q1b1 (M378) — It is widely distributed in Europe, South Asia, and West Asia. It is found among samples of Hazaras and Sindhis It is also found in the Uyghurs of North-Western China in two separate groups The Q-M378 subclade and specifically its Q-L245 subbranch is speculated to be the branch to which Q-M242 men in Jewish Diaspora populations belong. Although published articles have not tested for M378 in Jewish populations, genetic genealogists from the Ashkenazi, Mizrachi, and Sephardi Jewish populations have tested positive for both M378 and L245.
We have the Q-M378 subclade and Q-L245 subbranch So far we're still only about 5% of the Jewish population.
