Hoyt Y DNA

 I just found out that my maternal 11th Great Grandfather Simon Hoyt's Y DNA E-M84 haplogroup has been refined to E-BY68810 that a is branch of E-PF6748 branch that is a branch of E-PF6751.

The closest matches are men in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Palestinian Territory with their sharing PF6748 in common.

The vast majority of the P-F6751 matches are people in the Middle East including especially Saudi Arabia.

His Y DNA was definitely Middle Eastern.

There are Jews with this haplogroup branch.

Jewish ancestry in my Hoyt family ancestral background is a possibility.

My maternal 11th Great Grandfather Simon Hoyt immigrated to Salem, Massachusetts from England around 1628 or 1629.

He lived in the towns Charlestown, Dorchester, and Scituate in Massachusetts.

Then he lived in the towns Windsor, Fairfield, and Stamford in Connecticut.

He died in Stamford in 1657.

My Ethnic Analyses - AncestryDNA, 23andme, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, LivingDNA, Gene2me, and DNALand

 This is post of my Ethnic Analyses from AncestryDNA, 23andme, FamilyTreeDNA, MyHeritage, LivingDNA, Gene2me (Sequencing.com).  I did testing at 23andme and AncestryDNA.  I uploaded my 23andme genome to FamilyTreeDNA, MyHeritage, and LivingDNA.  I uploaded my Dante Labs full sequence genome bam file to Sequencing.com AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate 53% Africa 12% Benin & Togo 12% Cameroon  Congo & Western Bantu Peoples 12% Nigeria 8% Senegal 6% Ivory Coast & Ghana 2% Mali 1% Nigeria - East Central 45% Europe   15%  England & Northwestern Europe 14% Jewish Peoples of Europe 6% Portugal 5% France 3% Spain 2% Wales 2% Americas  1% Indigenous Puerto Rico 1% Indigenous Americas - Ecuador 23andme Ancestry Composition 49.7% Sub Saharan African   44.3% West African  (20.2% Nigerian, 12.9% Ghanaian, Liberian & Sierra Leonean, 8.9% Senegambian & Guinean, 2.3% Broadly West African) 5.4% Congolese & Southern East African ...

My AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate Update

 This is a review about my AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate My Genealogical Ancestry I am a multicontinental American that is highly multiethnic, and I am related to many of my fellow Americans in many different ways.   My paternal grandfather's father's ancestry was African American.  He had some European ancestry. My paternal grandfather's mother's ancestry was African American. My paternal grandmother's father's ancestry was African American.  He had some European ancestry.  My paternal grandmother's mother's ancestry was African American with English, Acadian (French in what now known as Nova Scotia), Polish, Swiss, and German.   My maternal grandfather's father 's ancestry was Cape Verdean (Portuguese and Sub-Saharan African) His parents were immigrants when Cape Verde was still a Portuguese colony. My maternal grandfather's mother's ancestry was Puerto Rican (Spanish, Sub-Saharan African, and Taino) on her father's side and Madeir...

The Review of The Non-Sub Saharan African Regions of My AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate

 I want to go over the non-Sub Saharan African in my AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate.  This is to show why parent-child DNA phasing is essential.  The problems of not phasing becomes obvious if a person has a vast majority of specific continental ancestry that comes from parent that has tested.  I take ethnic analyses with a strong grain of salt and focus mainly on DNA relative matches.  I do think that knowing the continental ancestries are helpful, but I am skeptical of the breakdown of each continental ancestry because of all the mixing that went on in people in the continents throughout history going back to highly ancient times. I am especially skeptical of the European continental breakdown with my longtime reading of the history of the mixing of populations in Europe. After getting and reading 'Ancestry Reimagined: Dismantling the Myth of Genetic Ethnicities' by Kostas Kampourakis,  I even question these ethnicity estimates even more.  Kampouraki...
