I recently got my Y-line DNA results from Oxford Ancestors which (based on 10 markers) show me to be the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (AMH), otherwise called R1b. This is apparently typically Celtic.
I have searched various dtabases and can find no other Warburton who has had this test. Has any one done this, or are they planning to do it? I am not plugging Oxford Ancestors; in fact I think you would get better value for money elsewhere.
The questions that intrigue me are a) do all Warburtons (barring crossovers i.e. adoptions etc) decend from a single person from the village of Warburton around the 11th century, and b) am I a descendant or a crossover? To answer such questions I would need to collect a number of Warburton Y-line results. If a large proportion (50%+) are the same or similar it would suggest a common ancestor, but because the AMH is so common it would probably need tests on more markers than the Oxford Ancestors test.
I am still researching all this phylogenetic stuff but I think the current view is that the AMH is a marker of the original Aurignacian migration of hunter gatherers into Europe about 40,000 years ago. Interestingly (well to me anyway) on my maternal side I am in haplogroup J (known as Jasmine) which is a marker of the neolithic farmer migration into Europe in the last 10,000 years.
Unfortunately I have very little knowledge of my own recent genealogy, though I am trying to find out more. I come from Altrincham, barely 4 miles from the hamlet of Warburton.
