Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: S27900 marker
« on: Friday 02 March 18 02:43 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks I see your info.  I have my ancestry traced back to a Thomas Meek born about 1735 in Ahoghill Parish, County Antrim.  My Meek line was planted in Northern Ireland.  The family lore appears to have more significance now.  The progenitor was supposedly the Thomas Meek who in 1688 commanded the ship "John Trelawny" in the battle of the Armada.  The John Trelawney was a coaster provided by several towns in Cornwall so presumably Thomas was also from that region.  He was a friend of Drake who was from Devonshire and is on the crew list for Drake's voyage that circumvented the globe. Thomas supposedly got a land grant in Ireland for military service.  The records however show that a John Meek was in the plantations in 1609.  Perhaps John was a son of Thomas and the progenitor of this Meek dna group?  There are 25 of us tested to Meek dna group E by y-STR.  I am planning to get another Meek SNP test, that will probably wait until I can get a discount.  I live about a mile from the FTDNA office.

Okay, I did figure out how to get the s27900 data off the site, are you a Williams?

Thanks for the information.  I am in the p312 and subclades group.  I tried to go look for s27900s but there are thousands of tests and no search feature.  Do you know how to get the tests of interest off that site?  How can I get your unnamed varients?
The Big Tree interpretation can be different from FTDNA.  I've been told the one guy at FTDNA that does this work is backlogged but will get to my test and interpret it.  I am just learning about how to interpret this.  Another interpretation of my results is shown in the attachment - this groups me with Eager Powell based on shared varients and differences from the other s27900s.  I plan to get another of the Meeks tested so it should all be sorted out eventually.

Thanks everyone for the enlightening posts.

I would like to get snp test others in my Meek dna group.  We work mainly with FTDNA.  Is Big Y the only test that gives the variants or can I get this with the P312 snp pack or perhaps use some other companies test?

The discussion suggests there are more s27900 tests than I know of.  How can I find those tests and see their variants?
Thanks, Fred

Hi, just got my Big Y results and I am s27900.  FTDNA is evaluating the results, apparently I have some new SNPs but just me or me and a Powell have them so they may not be declared.  Last name is Meek. earliest ancestor is a Thomas Meek born about 1735 in Antrim, Northern Ireland.  Family lore is the family went to Ireland from Cornwall.
