Q-L245, Now QBZ67 Haplogroup of Goldfoot
Nadene Goldfoot
Grandfather Nathan Abraham Goldfoot was born in Telsiai, Lithuania in 1870. He traveled to England, then Ireland and finally got to Council, Idaho where he married our grandmother, Hattie Jermulowske of Lazdijai, Suwalki, Poland/Lithuania, depending on the year.
His grandson has had his DNA tested and we find we are Q-L245 through Family Tree DNA in Houston, Texas. Also matching us at the 12 allele level though they took the 67 allele test, are:
1. 2 people from Dagestan who also are Q-L245. At 24 generations we have a 91.41% chance of sharing a common ancestor. That would take us back 600 years to 1414.
Dagestan is located in North Caucasus, Russia with a population of 2,910,249, Dagestan is ethnically very diverse (it is Russia's most heterogeneous republic, where no ethnic group forms a majority) with several dozen ethnic groups and subgroups inhabiting the republic, most of which speak Caucasian and Turkic languages. Largest among these ethnic groups are the Avar, Dargin,Kumyk, Lezgian, Laks, Azerbaijani, Tabasaran and Chechen.Ethnic Russians comprise about 3.6% of Dagestan's total population. Russian is the primary official language and the lingua franca among the ethnic groups.]
2. A few others matching at this same level are listed as Jaisy, Iraqi Arabs, from Baghdad. We have a 69.03% of sharing a common ancestor at 24 generations back.
Being we are Jews and they are not makes it interesting. In 2011 Rebekah Canada let me know that our Y haplogroup was from parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and possibly southern Saudi Arabia.
On the Karaite testing and finding Q1b1a or Q-L245, The presence of the Y-DNA haplogroup Q1b1a (Q-L245) in Ashkenazi and Karaite samples is not indicative of Khazar ancestry but rather of Southwest Asian ancestry. from http://forums.familytreedna.com/showthread.php?t=35397, The Genetics of Crimean Karaites
