Y68-111 DNA RESULTS FOR R-U198 LYNNS, LYNES, LINNS, ETC.

© 2011, 2021 John Sloan and Loretta (Lynn) Layman

   

R-U198 is a haplogroup within the huge R1b super-haplogroup that is ubiquitous in Western Europe.  R-U198 is much less common, generally comprising as little as 2% - 3% of the male population in the countries
where it is most prevalent, such as the United Kingdom.  R-U198 may in turn be subdivided.  The Lynns belong to R-DF89, which is a significant branch of R-U198.  However, they do not belong to R-DF89's largest
sub-group, which we call "type G".  We have therefore used the appropriate modal values for the first line ("R-U198: DF89 excl. type G") in this chart of DNA results for comparison with our Lynns.

   

Lynn vs. Flynn:   The lack of R-U198 in Gaelic populations, and particularly its absence among those Flynns who have had Y-DNA tests, together evidence the fact that R-U198 Lynns did not derive their surname
                             from Flynn / O'Flynn.  This finding is compatible with the paper trails for certain R-U198 Lynns being Ulster Scots, some with a known Presbyterian history in Ulster.

Color Key . . .    

          

R-U198 Lynn “Motif” : A motif is a set of marker values which are significantly different from the modal values of the broader group to which a subgroup or family belongs.  Marker values highlighted here in this color
    represent "typical" R-U198 Lynn Y-DNA.  There are 2 such markers on this page and 7 on the previous page (markers 1-67).
          Other Putative Ancestral Lynn Values (all on the previous page).  We believe these may also be the R-U198 Lynn ancestral values at these markers but do not suggest viewing them as part of the Lynn Motif at present.1/
 

1st new line within the R-U198 Lynn family : DYS393 (previous page).2/

       

2nd new line within the R-U198 Lynn family : CDYa-b and DYS444 (both, previous page) and DYS540 (this page).

       

3rd new line within the R-U198 Lynn family : DYS534 (previous page).

       

4th new line within the R-U198 Lynn family : YCAiia-b (previous page); see also, footnote 3/ to the chart on that page.

 

"Chaff" (i.e., unhelpful sporadic mutations) : Some chaff mutations clearly happened only in recent generations and do not reflect common ancestry.

1/ CDYa and CDYb do appear to suggest a progressive mutation from the broader haplogroup value to a slightly lower value for the original R-U198 Lynn ancestor and thence to an even lower value 
     in the 2nd new line.  DYS534 may represent an R-U198 Lynn  value with the 3rd new line having experienced a back mutation to the broader haplogroup value.

2/ The word "line" as used here is not meant to imply a direct lineage in the genealogical sense but instead indicates that everyone in a particular new line shares a common ancestor more
    recently with each other than with those outside their new line.
