More on the Hawgood Haplotype
As we saw in the introduction on the DNA home page, the Hawgood family comes from the wide grouping of Haplotype I1, and can be narrowed down to subgroup M-253 approximately 8,000 years ago. Within subgroups, there are further subgroups, and certain markers allow us to further narrow down Hawgood DNA to a specific subset of M-253. The values of DYS607=13, DYS460=11, which Hawgoods have, in particular denote the following type of Haplogroup I1-AngloSaxon-1313 or I-M253-AS1313
There is a very useful utility at http://members.bex.net/jtcullen515/haplotest.htm which predicts the subtype, or subclade, which shows Hawgood DNA at least 98% probability of being AS1313. The values input into the model have been normalised to FTDNA values, so CDYa&b have been adjusted up by 2 from the Genebase results. One of the irritations of different testing companies is that some results are reported using differing standards and must be adjusted depending on what tool is being used.
There are however variances from the standard AS1313 haplotype subclade. These are:
Hawgood DNA AS1313
DYS 19 15 14
DYS 389i&ii 13,30 12,29
DYS 449 29 28
These are 3 mutations (DYS389 counts as 1) which moved Hawgood DNA slightly away from AS1313, which all occurred prior to 1500. At this stage we do not know when this happened, but 3 mutations would take the common ancestor within AS1313 back to 1000AD or earlier.
Further, some values are themselves quite uncommon. DYS 607 is found only in 7% of the ‘I’ type population, DYS389ii at 3%, and DYS 446 at 6%. The values at GATAA4 and GATAH4 are found in only around 11-12% of the population. Finding matches that are close in other surnames would therefore be quite significant.
