It might be that this is my DNA being discussed, as I have shared results with Connie Bellamy. My DNA is nowhere close to anyone on the Stanton DNA project, some of whom are presumably descendents of Thomas of Stonington. If this is not my DNA being discussed, I would be quite interested to learn whose this is, and to compare mine with his.

John,

Yes, it's your DNA result I referred to in my May 16, 2010 post.

Hi Cousin,

Yes, my Y-DNA is a bit unlike all the other Stantons on the surname project. It is, however, very unusual in general, so when we find a match, things should be very clear. Apart from just one of my markers (DYS393), I am a prototype of a particular "haplotype" that is quite common in W Europe. However, for that marker, I have 12 alleles, while the modal value is 13 for all Europeans. I confirmed this, and had a colleague of mine do another test for me, and he got DYS393=13. It is thought that all people in Europe who have DYS393=13 (about 0.3%) and otherwise belong to this haplotype (it is called h35 A2, or R1b*) descend from perhaps a single Roman soldier who was conscripted from Turkey or somewhere thereabouts.
