Ewing Project participant with kit nr 32942 is P25+ and has been tested for no other SNPs. David Ewing

No Ewing in the 'large closely related group of Ewings' (Groups 1 and 2) has tested negative for M222+, but of the seventy-odd men in these two groups only five or six have had the M222 SNP tested. These groups are defined on the basis of having 37-marker haplotypes within genetic distance 5 of the group modal. We think that testing more of them for M222 would be a waste of money. Any reasonable estimate based on STR haplotypes of the TMRCA for this group does not exceed five or six hundred years (and we think it is more likely about 400 years). Given that M222 probably appeared at least 1500 years ago and more likely 2000, if any of the Ewings in the large closely related group of Ewings are M222+, they all are.

Hi David I'm getting lower answers (more like 1300 years) but it's still a work in progress. Do you have access to the working papers that led to the 'at least 1500 years ago and more likely 2000' suggestion? My workings are on my website.
