Ethnicity Estimate
In each region of the world there is a unique set of genetic characteristics that are shared between the offspring of native populations. As population migration has increased, research has shown that these characteristics distinguish each region, thereby enabling us to establish genetic models.
We compare your DNA against these models to estimate what percentage of your DNA comes from each region. The higher the percentage is, the more confident you may be about the accuracy of the results.
Genetic Groups take your Ethnicity Estimate further, by examining 2100+ regions to identify the specific ones you are a member of from within each ethnic group. Your Genetic Groups are listed without percentages, yet they offer you a more detailed understanding of your ethnicity results.

My ancient DNA ancestry:

 

My maternal ancestry has been centered around Florence, Italy for at least 17,000 years, see Tara clan at  https://web.archive.org/web/20210126182006/https://www.oxfordancestors.com/dna/tutorials/seven-daughters-eve 


Humans first arrived in Ireland around 10,000 years ago after the last ice age. It is believed that their journey began in Northeast Spain, in an area now known today as the Basque Country. Their journey took them north across western France, into Britain and eventually into Ireland. These first humans were undoubtedly followed by others but how many, and when, remains a mystery (although DNA studies may eventually shed some light).

Archaeologists in northern Spain have uncovered what they describe as one of the “best conserved Paleolithic dwellings in the world”. Dated to 16,800 years ago, the living space in the La Garma cave in Cantabria appears almost as it did when its ancient inhabitants abandoned the site, with tools and other artifacts strewn across the floor.

 Bard: Use the following content to write a sketch of my maternal ancestry which has been centered around Florence, Italy for at least 17,000 years, The clan of Tara (Gaelic for rocky hill) includes slightly fewer than 10% of modern Europeans. Its many branches are widely distributed throughout southern and western Europe with particularly high concentrations in Ireland and the west of Britain. Tara herself lived 17,000 years ago in the northwest of Italy among the hills of Tuscany and along the estuary of the river Arno. 

1. Your maternal ancestry is a long and storied one, dating back to the Paleolithic era. Your clan, Tara, was one of the first groups of people to settle in the northwestern region of Italy, among the hills of Tuscany and along the estuary of the river Arno.

Tara herself was a powerful and influential woman. She was a skilled hunter and gatherer, and she was also a gifted healer. She was known for her compassion and her wisdom, and she was loved and respected by her people.

Tara's clan thrived for many generations, and they eventually became one of the most powerful and influential groups in Italy. They were known for their strong sense of community, their loyalty to each other, and their fierce independence.

Over the centuries, your clan spread throughout Italy and eventually to other parts of Europe. They brought with them their culture, their language, and their traditions. They also brought with them their strong sense of identity and their fierce independence.

Today, your clan is still a vibrant and thriving community. You are proud of your heritage, and you are committed to preserving your culture and your traditions. You are also committed to making a positive difference in the world.

You are a descendant of Tara, a powerful and influential woman who lived 17,000 years ago. You are also a descendant of a long line of strong, independent, and compassionate people. You are a member of the clan of Tara, and you are proud of your heritage.


2. Your maternal ancestry is a long and storied one, dating back to the early days of human civilization. Your clan, Tara, was one of the first clans to settle in the northwest of Italy, among the hills of Tuscany and along the estuary of the river Arno. Tara herself lived 17,000 years ago, and her descendants have been living in the area ever since.

Over the centuries, your clan has played an important role in the history of Italy. They have been farmers, merchants, artists, and warriors. They have fought in wars, built great cities, and created works of art that are still admired today.

Your clan is a proud and independent one. They have always been fiercely loyal to their homeland, and they have always been willing to fight for what they believe in. You are a direct descendant of this proud and noble clan, and you carry their legacy with you wherever you go.

Here is a more detailed sketch of your maternal ancestry:

Tara: The founder of your clan, Tara lived 17,000 years ago in the northwest of Italy. She was a skilled hunter and gatherer, and she led her clan to a new home in the fertile hills of Tuscany.

The Early Years: Your clan lived in peace for many centuries. They built villages and farms, and they raised families. They were a close-knit community, and they helped each other through good times and bad.

The Roman Empire: The Roman Empire conquered Italy in the 1st century BC. Your clan was assimilated into the Roman Empire, and they adopted Roman culture and language. They continued to live in Tuscany, and they prospered under Roman rule.

The Middle Ages: The Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century AD. Your clan was plunged into a period of chaos and violence. They were attacked by barbarian tribes, and they were forced to defend their homes and families.

The Renaissance: The Renaissance was a time of great cultural and economic growth in Italy. Your clan benefited from this period of prosperity. They became wealthy merchants and bankers, and they helped to finance the arts and sciences.

The Modern Era: Your clan has continued to thrive in the modern era. They have made significant contributions to Italian society in the fields of business, politics, and the arts. They are a proud and independent people, and they are committed to making a difference in the world.

You are a direct descendant of this proud and noble clan. You carry their legacy with you wherever you go. You are a part of a long and storied history, and you have the potential to make a difference in the world.


3. Your maternal ancestry is a long and storied one, dating back to the very first humans who inhabited the region of Florence, Italy. The clan of Tara, to which you belong, is one of the oldest and most well-established clans in Europe, and its members have played a significant role in shaping the history of the continent.

The first known member of the clan of Tara was a woman named Tara, who lived in the northwest of Italy around 17,000 years ago. She was a hunter-gatherer who lived in a small community of nomadic people. Tara was a skilled hunter and a fierce warrior, and she was respected by her fellow tribesmen for her strength and courage.

Over the centuries, the clan of Tara grew and spread throughout Europe. Its members settled in Ireland, Britain, and other parts of the continent, and they played a major role in the development of these cultures. The clan of Tara was known for its strong sense of community and its loyalty to its members. They were also known for their intelligence and their creativity, and they made significant contributions to the arts, sciences, and literature.

Today, the clan of Tara is still a thriving community, and its members are proud of their heritage. They are committed to preserving their culture and traditions, and they are active in their communities. The clan of Tara is a source of strength and inspiration for its members, and it continues to play a vital role in the world today.

Here are some of the notable members of the clan of Tara:

Tara herself, the founder of the clan

The Medici family, who ruled Florence for over 600 years

Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest artists of all time

Michelangelo, another of the greatest artists of all time

Galileo Galilei, a pioneer of astronomy and physics

Dante Alighieri, the author of the Divine Comedy

Niccolò Machiavelli, a political philosopher and diplomat

Francesco Petrarca, a poet and scholar

Gioachino Rossini, an opera composer

Giacomo Puccini, another opera composer

Luchino Visconti, a film director

Bernardo Bertolucci, another film director

Roberto Benigni, an actor and director

These are just a few of the many notable members of the clan of Tara. They have all made significant contributions to the world, and they continue to inspire and amaze us today.


[QUOTE] From: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004H4X83Q/

 My first book tells the story of research into the human origins using DNA. I had become interested in this field after Dr. Robert Hedges, the director of the Oxford Radiocarbon Laboratory and I managed to extract DNA from some of the ancient bones stored in his department. It was soon clear that in order to put our results into context we needed to know much more about modern populations so we began collecting thousands of DNA samples from all over the world. We concentrated on mitochondrial DNA because that was the DNA we had extracted from the ancient bones. We soon began to appreciate its special qualities. Firstly there was plenty of sequence variation to work with and secondly the simplicity of its strictly matrilineal inheritance pattern avoided the complexity of genetic recombination which scrambles DNA at every generation.
We discovered that mitochondrial DNA fell into a small number of distinct clusters which, by an inevitable logic, must have originated from a single woman at some point in the distant past.
The Pleaides, the mythological parallel to Eve
In Europe there are just seven clusters descended from seven women covering over 97% of Europeans. In the book I wanted to emphasise that these ancient women were real individuals rather than statistical constructs and deserved their own names - Ursula, Xenia, Helena, Velda, Tara, Katrine, Jasmine. I worked out how long ago, and whereabouts, they lived. From this and archaeological evidence I imagined what their lives had been like.

When the book was published in 2001 the lab was flooded with requests from people wanting to know which of these women was their own ancestor. To cope with this completely unexpected demand the University set up Oxford Ancestors, the world's first genetic genealogy company, which continues to this day.



A person’s maternal ancestry is traced by mitochondrial DNA or mDNA for short. Both men and women possess mDNA, but only women pass it on to their children..

We all inherit our mDNAs from our mothers, not from our fathers. Your mother inherited it from her mother, who inherited it from hers, and so on back through time. Therefore, mDNA traces an unbroken maternal line  for generation upon generation far further back than any written records.


Research in Professor Sykes' laboratory and elsewhere over many years has shown that all of our maternal lines are connected at some time in the past and that these connections can be traced by reading mDNA. One striking finding was that people tended to cluster into a small number of groups, each of which could be defined by the precise sequence of their mDNA. In native Europeans, for example, there are seven such groups, among Native Americans there are four, among Japanese people there are nine, and so on. By an inescapable logic, every individual within the group traces back to just one woman, the common maternal ancestor, the 'clan mother'.

For our MatriLine Classic service, we read a section of your mDNA, 400 base pairs long, and compare its precise sequence to the many thousands of others from all over the world. That way we can give you a precise readout of your DNA sequence and discover to which of the clans you belong and therefore from which ancestral clan mother you are descended. 

DNA changes very slowly over time and from this we can estimate how long ago each of the clan mothers lived. In addition, studying features of the geographical distribution of their present-day descendants, tells us whereabouts they lived. To emphasise that the clan mothers were indeed real women, in The Seven Daughters of Eve, each of them was given a name and using archaeological and other evidence, their imagined lives were reconstructed.

The clan mothers were not the only women alive at the time but they were the only ones to have direct matrilineal descendants living through to the present day. Other women around at the same time, or their descendants, either had no children or had only sons, who not pass on their mDNA. Of course, the clan mothers themselves had their own ancestors. Amazingly, their genealogies have also been discovered. These show how everyone alive on the planet today can trace their maternal ancestry back to just one woman. By all accounts, she lived in Africa about 200,000 years ago and is known as “Mitochondrial Eve”.

On your “World Clans” certificate you will see how you and your clan mother relate to all the others in the human family and to “Mitochondrial Eve” herself.

THE EUROPEAN CLANS – The Seven Daughters of Eve

The clan of Ursula
(Latin for she-bear)
is the oldest of the seven native European clans. It was founded around 45,000 years ago by the first modern humans, Homo sapiens, as they established themselves in Europe. Today, about 11% of modern Europeans are the direct maternal descendants of Ursula. They come from all parts of Europe, but the clan is particularly well represented in western Britain and Scandinavia.

The clan of Xenia
(Greek for hospitable)
is the second oldest of the seven native European clans. It was founded 25,000 years ago by the second wave of modern humans who established themselves in Europe, just prior to the coldest part of the last Ice Age. Today around 7% of native Europeans are in the clan of Xenia. Within the clan, three distinct branches fan out over Europe. One is still largely confined to Eastern Europe while the other two have spread further to the West into central Europe and as far as France and Britain. About 1% of Native Americans are also in the clan of Xenia.

The clan of Helena
(Greek for light)
is by far the largest and most successful of the seven native clans with 41% of Europeans belonging to one of its many branches. It began 20,000 years ago with the birth of Helena somewhere in the valleys of the Dordogne and the Vezere, in south-central France. The clan is widespread throughout all parts of Europe, but reaches its highest frequency among the Basque people of northern Spain and southern France.

The clan of Velda
(Scandinavian for ruler)
is the smallest of the seven clans containing only about 4% of native Europeans. Velda lived 17,000 years ago in the limestone hills of Cantabria in northwest Spain. Her descendants are found nowadays mainly in western and northern Europe and are surprisingly frequent among the Saami people of Finland and Northern Norway.

The clan of Tara
(Gaelic for rocky hill)
includes slightly fewer than 10% of modern Europeans. Its many branches are widely distributed throughout southern and western Europe with particularly high concentrations in Ireland and the west of Britain. Tara herself lived 17,000 years ago in the northwest of Italy among the hills of Tuscany and along the estuary of the river Arno.

The clan of Katrine
(Greek for pure)
is a medium sized clan with 10% of Europeans among its membership. Katrine herself lived 15,000 years ago in the wooded plains of northeast Italy, now flooded by the Adriatic, and among the southern foothills of the Alps. Her descendants are still there in numbers, but have also spread throughout central and northern Europe.

The clan of Jasmine
(Persian for flower)
is the second largest of the seven European clans after Helena and is the only one to have its origins outside Europe. Jasmine and her descendants, who now make up 12% of Europeans, were among the first farmers and brought the agricultural revolution to Europe from the Middle East around 8,500 years ago.

The clan of Ulrike
(German for Mistress of All)
is not among the original “Seven Daughters of Eve” clans, but with just under 2% of Europeans among its members, it has a claim to being included among the numerically important clans. Ulrike lived about 18,000 years ago in the cold refuges of the Ukraine at the northern limits of human habitation. Though Ulrike’s descendants are nowhere common, the clan is found today mainly in the east and north of Europe with particularly high concentrations in Scandinavia and the Baltic states.

Ancestry dot com showed this as a huge semicircle with Florence, Italy at the center, a radius going east from Estonia down to the south, however, not west of Florence in origin, only in progeny moving toward western Europe at a later time.

I can actually find traits in my parents that relate to their lives, addictions and skills! Near Florence is the city Siena https://www.discovertuscany.com/siena/palio-siena.html where one of the first known horse races ever started.

'...The Palio horse race has its origins in the distant past, with historical records indicating horse races in Siena already taking place in the 6th century.' My father was addicted to betting the horses for as long as I knew him, almost 70 years!
