Thought I would share with you all the latest DNA evidence.
I have been saying this for over a decade, that I strongly believed all the Romani paternal lineages whom are in Y Haplogroup H-M82*, likely shared a common male ancestor some where way back in all our family trees, regardless our surnames used today.
Thanks to Romani men being Big Y 700 DNA tested, we now have far stronger evidence then ever before! In the attached image, each paternal Romani lineage marked in the Red box, clearly all descended from the same Parent SNP, known as Y Haplogroup H-BY47158.
In layman's terms, the early evidence is clearly showing each paternal lineage did indeed descend from the same Parent SNP, Y Haplogroup H-BY47158. Each Romani paternal lineage comes from various regions around Europe and the UK as well as the USA.
Romanies from Finland, Scotland, England / UK, Moldova, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Germany, Ireland by way of Scotland, and Israel are represented in the image.
As more Romani men get themselves Big Y 700 DNA tested, we can expect to see much more of the same, that all the Romani paternal lineages whom are in this rare South Asian Y Haplogroup H-M82, very likely all descended from the same Parent SNP, Y Haplogroup H-BY47158.
