Our Rare DYS 393 is a 12
I just found out from several rootsweb postings that our first allele on the test, DYS 393 =12, is very rare for any surname that has been deemed an R1b1b2. Most of the founders had 13 so that we have a very small population.
That seems to mean that we did not come from the same source as most other R1b1b2's. No wonder we are short on matches.
"Indications are that it is of ASIAN origin. Such as appearing to be rooted in Ulster and along the Anglo-Scottish Border, rather than eastern Europe or western Asia. Bennett Greenspan informs me that of the 19,000 participants in the FTDNA database, those who are {[DYS389ii=29, minus D:YS389i=13]=16} and who also are DYS393=12 represent less than 3/10s of 1%. That is an extremely small proportion. "

Hello I am having the same problem with it being a 393=12. Is there any information that you can provide for me?
