1.    FT DNA Project:
There are now 236 members in our H11 project. Full sequence results are completed on 208 members of the group. Interestingly 163 members of this group have also done Family Finder. Unfortunately it is not possible to visually look at the Family Finder results as that would compromise the privacy of individuals. However, you can look at your matches in Family Finder.

2.    Project Statistics (yDNA statistics removed):
Combined GEDCOMs Uploaded      46
DISTINCT mtDNA Haplogroups      16
Family Finder     163
Genographic 2.0 Transfers      18

H11 breakdown in the PhyloTree mt:




Within the study group we have members in every sub-haplogroup except H11a5 (and it can be seen in the chart above that the mutation C15040T marks this subgrouping).

4.    National Geographic Project Update:

Branch: H11

Age: 10,800 +/- 7,300 Years Ago

Location of Origin: Europe

During the last glacial maximum members of this lineage took shelter in refugia within Europe. As the ice melted, these groups moved across Europe, resettling.

Today, this lineage is present most often in the Netherlands, where it is about 3% of maternal lineages. It comprises 2% of the population in Austria, Poland, and Denmark. Elsewhere in Europe, it is present in low frequencies around 1%. Note is also made that this branch is not accompanied by a major movement on their map and research on this branch is continuing.

5.    Breakdown by subclade in the project including “resting spot” as noted by contributor:

H11: Sweden - 2, Scotland – 1, Norway – 1, Croatia – 1

H11-C16354T: Scotland – 1, Netherlands – 1

H11a-T152C: Norway – 3, Germany – 1

H11a: England 0 3, Estonia – 1, Sweden – 6, Ireland – 6, Italy – 1, Eastern Europe – 2, Scotland – 1, Finland – 4, France – 2, Norway – 1, Poland – 1, Russia – 2, Germany – 3

H11a2a: Sweden – 4

H11a2a1: England – 4, Sweden – 1, Eastern Europe – 1, Russia – 2

H11a2a2: Finland – 2, Russia – 3, Poland – 3, Central Europe – 3

H11a2a3: Eastern Europe - 1, Lithuania -1

H11a3: No place of origin mentioned

H11a6: No place of origin mentioned

H11a7: England – 1, Ireland – 1, Scotland – 1

H11a8: England – 1, France – 1,

H11b: Lithuania – 1

H11b1: Sweden – 1, Eastern Europe – 1, Poland – 2, Russia – 1, Germany 3, Serbia – 1

An interesting way to look at the material in each project. Looking at the results it does perhaps give assistance to those still looking for the location from which their ancestor may have traveled in the case of people in the Western Hemisphere but nearly half of the members of our project live in Europe. I think the project will need to be much larger to really give any geographic location for particular subclades.

Blake Newsletter, Volume 6, Issue 3, 2017



Blake Newsletter  Volume 6, Issue 3, 2017
Table of Contents
1.   Blake Surname Study - Progress
2.   Blake DNA Study at FT DNA
3.   Andover, Hampshire, England Parish Registers
4.   Galway Blake family yDNA study

1.   Blake Surname Study – Progress

I continue working on the Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills (and some from different County Record Offices) but have had a short hiatus due to the OGS Conference 2017 which was a great success. I will be returning to blogging wills very shortly. I have had a number of interesting emails querying various Blake lines which I have not yet attended to but hope to do that again in the next couple of weeks. I appreciate your emails but they sometimes take me a while to answer as I know most about my own Blake line in Andover Hampshire. 

2.   Blake DNA Study at FT DNA

The Blake DNA study continues to attract new members but does need to grow considerably larger before it will benefit the members of the study. I will try to write up the results of this study in a way that protects everyone’s anonymity but does make some use of the interesting results that are arising. (https://www.familytreedna.com/public/blake?iframe=yresults)

I do need to have a family tree to go with new members and would mention that here. I will not share your trees with others unless you specifically give me such consent. In the next issue I will have more to write about the yDNA study although it is still too small to really draw any strong conclusions except on a very limited basis. 

3.   Andover, Hampshire, England Parish Registers

Andover, Hampshire, England has often been said to be the “home of the Blakes” when I have been writing to people in Hampshire through the years. When I decided to transcribe the Parish Registers of Andover I was surprised to find that yes there are a number of Blake entries but there are far more Blake entries in Parish Registers in other parts of England. I will begin publishing the Blake family records in the Andover Parish Registers in this Newsletter with this issue (baptisms, with marriages and burials to follow). These records are taken from fiche which have scans of the original parish registers. The registers for baptism begin in 1589 and have provided me with a lot of details on the Blake family in Andover in the late 1500s.

4.   The Galway Blake Family yDNA study

I had intended to do a writeup on the Galway Blake Family yDNA Study but time has once again escaped me. I will attempt to do that for the October Issue. Gardening will be winding down, the sun sets earlier so hopefully I will find the time to work on the writeup. Apologies for that delay.
