DYS=12 Near Romans in Britain
Haplotype 35
"Most of these haplotypes appear to originate from areas of Britain
near the Antonine Wall, Hadrian's Wall and other places of Roman fortification or settlement.
These areas include Galloway, Dumfries, Ayrshire and The Borders in Scotland, and
Cumbria, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Shropshire and Staffordshire in England.
Many of the Roman troops stationed in these areas came from Southeastern Europe
or Western Asia. They included Sarmatians, Dacians, Goths, Syrians, Mesopotamians,
Thracians and Anatolians. The Capelli study has shown that these areas also exhibit higher
than average frequencies of haplogroups E3b and J2, neither of which is native to Britain.
E3b is found most commonly in North Africa, Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Near East,
and J2 occurs most frequently in the Near East, the Mediterranean and Western Asia."
I think what this article is saying is that our DNA was carried by Romans working in Britain and that's how our ancestor came from someplace in England, whether it was Ireland or England. Who would have thought our ancestor would have been someone other than a tribal member of Britain? I'm not sure we fit the definition of haptlotype 35, but we do have the DYS#393=12, which is necessary for this and we are of R1b1b2 haplogroup.

Illustrious Bennington, Vermont Robinsons
What makes this family so interesting to me is that they married into the Fays who came from France and were Huegenots, or Protestants that was outlawed and they had to move to Wales. From there they came to America on the Speedwell, only much later than the original trip of 1620 with the Mayflower. Several Fays married Robinsons of the same family. Our oral history is of coming from Wales and coming not on the Mayflower but a ship after that. Bennington, Vermont was the center of politics and activity. What a great town to be from.
The Fays are illustrious in history and connect to the Bush family. from their website: Look at : Captain Steven Fay (1715 - 1781), owner of the Revolutionary War Catamount Tavern in Bennington, Vermont. Sergeant John Fay (1734 - 1777), who fought and died in the Battle of Bennington, August 16, 1777 (the turning point of the Revolutionary War). Dr. Cyrus Fay (1778 - 1839), inventor of the forceps for extracting teeth and progenitor of the current day French and Tahitian Fay Family, George Herbert Walker Bush (1924 - ), 41st President of the United States, and his son George Walker Bush (1946 - ), 43rd President of the United States.

Our DYS 393=12 Called Haplotype 35 or Armenian Modal Haplotype
Haplotype 35
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In human genetics, Haplotype 35, also called ht35 or the Armenian Modal Haplotype, is a Y chromosome haplotype of Y-STR microsatellite variations, associated with the Haplogroup R1b. It is characterized by DYS393=12 (as opposed to the Atlantic Modal Haplotype, another R1b haplotype, which is characterized by DYS393=13). The members of this haplotype are found in high numbers in Anatolia and Armenia, with smaller numbers throughout Central Asia, the Middle East, the Balkans, the Caucus Mountains, and in Jewish populations. They are also present in Britain in areas that were found to have a high concentration of Haplogroup J, suggesting they arrived together, perhaps through Roman soldiers.
I knew we were old, but this is really a revelation.

Irish Roots? Maybe
Our origins show 20 hits for Ireland and only 3 for England, which was a surprise to me. It's that DYS 393=12 that does it, I bet, showing we are of older stock than most R1b's.
I want to remember that many people are descended from Naill of Nine Hostages which are R1b1b2a1b5b haplogroup, and other markers seems to be an old description of R1b1b2ala2f2, and then there is R1b1b2a1b5b.
I've only tested for 25 alleles so far but plan to do the 67 shortly, and will hold this information in abeyance for reference. Maybe that's our origin, too. We're R1b1b2 or M269.
Now, whoever was Naill of Nine Hostages? Why does he have so many descendants? It seems that he was a king in Ireland who kidnapped Saint Patrick. He died around 450AD. The legends are sketchy and varied about him as is his genealogy. He is an interesting character, though. You can read about him in Wikipedia.

Possible Irish Connection for Our Robinsons
We had 20 hits for Ireland on our origin list for Robinson on the dna test and only about 3 for England, where I thought we were from. Actually, my grandfather's recollection of being told of his origins was Wales. I haven't seen a thing about Wales. So on this auspicious day of St. Patrick's Day, our old line of R1b1b2 may be of an early Irish heritage.

We're An Old Line of R1b1b2
I finally found a piece of information telling about our unusual DYS 393 being a 12 and not a 13 that I see more often. I've just been learning that these numbers given for alleles have meaning. I had thought it meant where we came from; east, west, etc, but evidently it also has to do with age.
R1b1b2 (ht35) see http://www.familytreedna.com/public/ht35new/default.aspx?/publicwebsite.aspx%3fsection=yresults§ion=yresults
is now estimated to be 6 to 8 thousand years old as more data has been analyzed and yes has a 12 at 393 for the surviving lines.
The main European groups consisting of R1b1b2 (ht15) are probably less than 6 thousand years old although some still argue for a pre Ice Age existence.
Eastern R1b (commonly called ht35 or haplotype 35), commonly is noted by having a genetic marker DYS 393 = 12. This is us! I thought we were special!

Upgrading Test Results
On April 7th, I should hear or have heard of the results of our upgraded test from 12 alleles to 25 alleles. This isn't much, but it might tell us a little more. So far I've been stumped with the rather unusual DYS of 393 being 12 and not the usual 13 that most other tests have produced for people. Such a common name as Robinson hasn't produced a lot of matches for 12 alleles. We've had one that hasn't answered my email.
