The Dowie Haplotype Most Recent Common Ancestor, Common Values, Links The tables below shows the authors haplotype. Results provided by Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) Laboratories show the actual Allele values at each of the marker Loci used. Comparisons can be made with the values from published research and other family name genetic ancestry researchers with similar results. Total distance of relationship is given by the final column showing the total number for mutational differences ( genetic difference ) between "Dowie" results and others. These 25 markers allows greater distinction than the earlier 12 marker tests and should any other Dowie's return a result of either 24 or 25 matching scores then it is almost certain that their origins can be traced to a common ancestor within the last 30 generations. More detailed explanations are provided below and links for further reading provided at the foot of the page. It is hoped that such information will encourage other "Dowie's" to submit samples for testing and there by broaden the scope of this initiative. Links to FTDNA are also proved below.
The above table { updated Feb 2008 } would appear to finally answer the questions I posed in 2002 when I first began to write these webpages. I believe that my Genetic forefathers were amongst the very earliest settlers of North East Scotland arriving not long after the retreat of the last glaciation. The descendents of these people were named Picts. Picts harried The Legions though out the Roman occupation of Britain and eventually joined with the relatively more recently arrived Dal Riadic settlers from Ireland; and the Norse settlers of the northern and western Isles to form the Nation of Scotland. This does not necessarily solve the origin of the name "Dowie" OAGP 4 is the sub group that the academic Kevin Campbell has extracted from the works of Dr. Brian Sykes. Saxons Viking & Celts. This would allow us to claim to belong to Dr. Sykes' Clan Oisin R1b - 9 is the sub group identified by Dr Stephen Oppenheimer and the values above are again suggested by Kevin Campbell in another of his papers in The Journal of Genetic Genealogy. In his book The Origins of the British Oppenheimer gives the name Rox to our clan father. Further Testing has confirmed my yDNA Haplogroup as R1b1c*
... remaining negative of any other currently identified "downstream" SNP mutations or sub-clade markers.
