A Brittonic Y-DNA Cluster

"In May 2005, I received my full 37-marker Y-DNA test results. Subsequently,
a sixth cousin with a shared patrilineal fifth great-grandfather showed
similar results. Standard genealogical research traced this Colson patriline
back to early 17th Century Lincolnshire, England. My Colson Y-DNA shows the
closest affinity with a group of McCorkles and Mitchells, both with known
Scottish ancestry. The mystery of this genetic relationship prompted me to
broaden my perspective and consider pre-surname relationships."

"I discussed the concepts of haplogroup and haplotype
briefly in one of the Y-DNA Articles in the Journal of Clan Ewing
Ewing Surname Y-DNA Project: Article 7,

some may be interested in a more detailed discussion."

Oscar Ewing and His DNA Odyssey

"For me, researching my family history is like putting together a
jigsaw puzzle ... a never-ending jigsaw puzzle with a big blue sky. After
being at it for thirteen years, I am now at the point where I am
working on that dreaded, uniformly-colored, blue sky and progress is
painfully slow and arduous. To ease the frustration, I will sometimes
just adopt other families to do some quick research on. This is how I
came to be so involved with one Oscar Ewing born about 1870 in
Maryland, parents unknown."

Origins of the MacEoghainn Clan: What information can Y chromosome markers provide?
J. Clan Ewing, Vol. 11, No. 3, August 2005.

"The intention of this article is to provide background to the Y chromosome
investigation we are attempting to undertake into the origins of the Ewing and
McEwen surname variants. ... Specifically, this article
reviews the recorded origins of the MacEoghainn surname and then
describes some potential investigations that can be done using ... DNA data."

What can Y-DNA tell us about Ewings?
J. Clan Ewing, Vol. 12, No. 3, August 2006.

"[It] appears that the Ewings' history can be traced back to the
prehistoric hunter-gatherer period in Ireland, they then moved to
Scotland sometime in the first millennium, then moved back
to northern Ireland again in the 17th
Century as Scots-Irish, and then finally shifted to the USA."

The Clan Ewing of Loch Lomond - An Alternate View
J. Clan Ewing, Vol. 12, No. 4, November 2006.

"[There] are several problems with [the theory that the Ewing name
is distinctly of Gaelic and clan origin], the first of which is that the pedigree linking the
MacEwens and other clans to the Ui Neill of Ireland is most likely a medieval fabrication; and secondly
the fact that the Ewings do match the NW Irish modal does not necessarily mean they were
descendants of Nial or descended from the Irish O'Neills."

A Y-Chromosome Signature of Hegemony in Gaelic Ireland

"Seventeen-marker simple tandem repeat genetic analysis of Irish
Y chromosomes reveals a previously unnoted modal haplotype that peaks
in frequency in the northwestern part of the island. It shows a
significant association with surnames purported to have descended from
the most important and enduring dynasty of early medieval Ireland,
the Ui Neill."
