Update 7/25/2022: Announcing the Family Tree DNA Discovery tool, now in beta-test, and findings for the C-Z30754 branch, and downstream subclades, unique to male, father-line descendants of Germain Doucet b. 1641

Combining inputs from the Family Tree DNA Y-DNA database, ancient DNA, the Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor (TMRCA) algorithm, Dr. Carlos Quiles' research, the work of phylogeneticist Michael Saeger, population genetic studies worldwide, Family Tree DNA group projects, the Genographic Project, and the community, the Discover tool, trademarked by Family Tree DNA, references a target haplogroup label; e.g., C-P39 or other, which the user may search using a query form (see https://discover.familytreedna.com/).

The Family Tree DNA Discover tool (amazingly) projects the timeframes for the date of birth of an earliest known patrilineal ancestor, traced from father-to-father, who belonged to that same haplogroup and the tens of thousands of years that may have elapsed between upstream and downstream branches of his line.

For example, the Discovery tool estimates that the first ancestor who belonged to Haplogroup C-Z30754 would have been born approximately 400 years ago (check!). Then, it provides estimated timeframes between intervening Big Y 700 branches, defined by leading SNPs (or markers) that separate C-Z30754 from the root, C-P39 Y DNA haplogroup that is estimated to have branched off from its parent subclade, some 11,000 years ago, plus or minus 2,100 years.

Explore the features, referencing haplogroup C-Z30754, the signature, Big Y 700 DNA haplogroup attained for the descendants of Germain Doucet b.1641. Click: https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/C-Z30754/story

For information about the ground-breaking finding of Native American ancestry in the Doucet lineage tracing to Germain Doucet b. 1641 in 2008, and a chronology of Y DNA project updates, read the article, "Confirmed C3b Y DNA Test Results Test the Heritage of Cajun Cousin Keith Doucet" ...by Marie Rundquist with Keith Doucet.

Thanks to all members for your participation in the C-P39 Y DNA Project, the Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA Project, and thanks also to the vast numbers of men who have taken the Big Y 700 DNA test, including the male descendants of Germain Doucet b. 1641. Your test results were immensely helpful in producing these estimates!!!

Update 7/25/2022: The new Family Tree DNA "Discover" tool, now in beta test, sheds new light on time between branches for C-P39 haplgroup and its subclades. Take a look!

Take a look at the latest Family Tree DNA Discover tool, https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/C-P39/story, now in beta test, updated estimates about the timings of the C-P39 haplogroup, and downstream and upstream subclade branches.

Combining inputs from the Family Tree DNA Y-DNA database, ancient DNA, the Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor (TMRCA) algorithm, Dr. Carlos Quiles' research, the work of phylogeneticist Michael Saeger, population genetic studies worldwide, Family Tree DNA group projects, the Genographic Project, and the community, the Discover tool, trademarked by Family Tree DNA, references a target haplogroup label; e.g., C-P39 or other, which the user may search using a query form (click: "Search Another Haplogroup" to try it out).

The Family Tree DNA Discover tool (amazingly) projects the timeframes for the date of birth of an earliest known patrilineal ancestor, traced from father-to-father, who belonged to that same haplogroup and the tens of thousands, that may have elapsed between upstream and downstream branches of his line.

Here are some of the features:

Note: The Discovery page, now in beta-test, is a "living" product and the information given will continue to be refined as more DNA test results, and Big Y 700 DNA branches, for members of the C-P39 Y DNA haplogroup are entered into the Family Tree DNA database

Thank you, C-P39 haplogroup members, for your participation in the C-P39 Y DNA Project!
