I¡¯m
struggling with dating in the L2>Z7>Z31>DGC910>DFC904>CTS10893>CTS4099
line of R-U106. My brother is lower down this line at BY96243 (550CE) and he
and another BY96243 tester descend from German ancestors dating in the 1700s.
Globetrekker puts the line from Z2 to CTS4099 firmly in England, and this is
supported to some extent by several Ancient burials in Kent and
Cambridgeshire.? However there are also
Ancient burials for CTS4099 in Hannover, Lower Saxony, and one for BY69849,
lower down the line at Lubeck, Germany, supporting a German location for the
line. All those Ancient Connection burials have fairly recent dates, from 400CE
onwards.? However the dates given in the
Globetrekker Ancestral Path are much older, with L2 dated there at 1850BCE,
CTS10893 at 900BCE and CTS4099 at 850BCE. My main question is how the SNP
CTS4099 came to be so widespread in recent times, with tests showing up in
England and in Continental Europe. The second question is how much weight we
can put on the Globetrekker Ancient Path dates. They look sensible to me but
they do not align with the Ancient Connection results.
