| HOSEASON 13 24 14 11 11 13 12 12 11 13 13 29 (21821) R1b; Shetland Aboriginal - (Western Norway); Patronymic; None recorded; Hosea ROBERTSON born 1743, Aywick, East Yell, son of Robert HOSEASON; The YHRD database indicates that this participant's haplotype is the most frequently occuring R1b signture in Western Norway. There are 16 exact matches in the FTDNA customer database. The only exact matches in the Haplogroup Database are Iceland (4) and Shetland (4). As the number of mutational steps begin to increase there are matches with a host of countries from Portugal to the Ukraine. At the one step level there are 3 matches with Norway; Although this participant's surname is HOSEASON, and his ancestral roots in the male line are linked to East Yell, he is not a direct descendant in the male line of the SJOVALD below (23271), but is a descendant in another line. |
| HOSEASON 13 25 15 11 11 14 12 12 11 13 11 31 (23271) R1a; Shetland Aboriginal - Norse; Patronymic; The tradition in this family is that the early ancestor was one Sjovald (Sea Rover) who was from Sweden or Norway and who was shipwrecked off East Yell and came to reside in Aywick. This family is very prominent and is featured in Grant's 1893 book on Shetland families. Sjovald's grandson John LAURENSON was "Foud of Shetland" (lawmaker) and indicates the family's well established position in the early 1600s; Laurence SJOVALDSON, born 1535, Aywick, East Yell, son of the above SJOVALD; No exact matches in the FTDNA customer database. In the Haplogroup Database there are exact matches with Iceland (2) and Shetland (1). At the 3 step mutation level the largest number of matches are with India (17) and Russia (Altai) (19); This family may not be of Aboriginal Shetland descent, depending on definitions. Since the surname ends in "son", and there is clear evidence that the family has used patronymics (Norse naming system), it is acceptable to use the above categorization. It is interesting that the matches for this R1a haplotype parallel others in Shetland (but apparently not Orkney), and appear to indicate an affiliation with the Asian origin group. This cannot be confirmed unless all 37 markers are made available. |
