Group 75 (formerly designated 15a) is no longer included here. It has been given a separate page.

About this Group

The members of these lines are in haplogroup R1b, the most common in the Taylor surname project and indicating a probable origin in the British Isles. The haplogroup R-U106 (R1b1a2a1a1) suggests ancient Germanic origins.

Y-DNA Values

See http://www.familytreedna.com/public/taylorfamilygenes/default.aspx?section=yresults.

Haplotype Rarity

Based on the values of the individual markers, the members of this genetic family score, on average, in the Uncommon range at 37 markers and Average at 67. Their haplotypes are among the least common 25% to middle 50%.

TiP Scores

TiP Scores Explained

TiP (for "Time Predictor") is a utility provided by Family Tree DNA. It is accessible to all FTDNA customers with Y-DNA results who have matches listed within the FTDNA reporting windows. It is also available to project administrators for calculating the probabilities that any two project members share a direct paternal ancestor within up to 24 generations.

TiP is superior to most TMRCA calculators. Rather than assume an average mutation rate for all markers compared, TiP uses individual marker mutation frequencies. Because marker mutation rates vary significantly between markers, the TiP scores 

As we use it here, TiP is a truer and simpler measure of genetic distances between individuals than other metrics such as the number of markers in disagreement or a sum of the differences (sometimes called "genetic distance"). TiP boils the complexities down to one number.

The composite TiP score is an index of how closely a member matches the entire group. Generally, the member with the highest score is the central member.

Note:

Unless stated otherwise, TiP probabilities are from TiP version 1 (v1) in effect from August 1, 2012 to December 11, 2012. Another version was in effect from December 12, 2012 to January 17, 2013 and was replaced with version 3 (v3) on January 18, 2013. We are in the process of updating to v3. In the meantime, we've made some observations about how v1 and v3 compare:

• For close matches, v3 = v1;
• For more distant matches v3 <= v1.

Genetic distance from other groups

The most closely-related other groups in Taylor Family Genes are

• R1b-03, with a 31.6% chance of sharing a common paternal ancestor within 24 generations;
• R1b-26, with a 23.5% chance;
• R1b-30, with a 23.4% chance; and
• R1b-15a, with a 20.0% chance;

It is the 26th most closely related to R1b-04 with a 10.3% chance of sharing a common paternal ancestor within 24 generations.
