A few years ago I was designated as belonging to the L371 ychromosome haplogroup. Known commonly as Ancient Welsh. My surname is of Welsh origin, most of my matches have Welsh surnames or geographical connections with that country. Although I have no known personal family history of a connection with Wales. Now I have recently tested with LivingDNA. And they now designate me as being L-1065, associated with Scottish origins, I do have known family connections with Scotland. So what the heck am I really? *David*
You need to look at the Y-SNP cascades down to each of these markers - and is one on the path down to the other. There is a separate question as to whether any of the can be used as a marker for Wales - and is there any crossover in to Ireland, and does it pick up south Wales as well as north Wales. Forget about what any specific location claims are made for either marker to begin with. Use the ISOGG Haplotree or FTDNAs new Haplotree to find out. I would like to know your answer to this one too - given my historic interests in Wales.
