DNA

It is important to note that with any DNA test there is a risk of surprise -- we must test knowing that it is possible our biographical ancestors may not be our genetic ancestors. That said -- here is some haplogroup information on some of the lines in my family:

A 4x-great-grandson of Solomon Glattfelder/Glotfelty (b. 1738 in Glattfelden, Switzerland; d. 1818 in Salisbury, Somerset, Pennsylvania) did the Big-Y 700 DNA test, and his haplogroup is R-FT255456. This haplogroup stems off of R-M269 -- the most common Y haplogroup in Western Europe. R-FT255456, according to SNP Tracker, is from near modern-day Switzerland as of the Roman era. This result is exciting because the Glattfelders have been traced in Glattfelden, Switzerland, back to the mid-1500s. If the DNA does indeed match the paper trail and extend it, then it seems that the Glattfelders were in the area for a couple thousand years at least. We would be very interested to see if other Glattfelder descendants, especially those whose lines stayed in Europe, also are this Y-DNA haplogroup. 

The mt-DNA haplogroup of my grandmother Bonnie Dunnuck is H47a. Her mother was Jennie Mae Bole (1906-1997); her mother was Lucy Stone (1878-1956); her mother was Mary Margaret Dunaway (1840-1922); her mother was Mariah King (c.1815-1860). FamilyTreeDNA shows that H47a is from about 2500 years ago with samples from England, Ireland, Scotland, and the Czech Republic. Funnily, SNP Tracker shows H47a in the English Channel off the coast of Belgium in the Bronze Age.

The mt-DNA haplogroup of my grandfather John Glotfelty is H16d. His mother was Mary Susan Boley (1895-1989); her mother was Kate Belle Droz (1873-1949); her mother was Marie Francoise Marie (born in Chaux, Territoire de Belfort, France, in 1845, died in Iowa in 1929); her mother was Marie Francoise Oriez (1815-1899); her mother was Marie Catherine Copathey (1748-bef. 1862); her mother was Marie Francoise Jardot. This line was in Territoire de Belfort, France, for several generations. SNP Tracker shows H16d as being in what's now eastern France as of the Bronze Age.

A male-line Dunnuck cousin kindly did a Y-DNA test, and we would be very interested in knowing if any other Dunnucks have done the same to be able to compare haplogroups and relatedness. Through the paper trail at least, he is a 5x-great-grandson of John Dunnuck (c.1747-1819), who we think is likely the son of John Dunnick, the man transported from Newgate Prison in London to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1737.

Two male-line descendants of James Boyle/Bole (c. 1752-1836) have done Y-DNA testing, and the haplogroup for that line is an offshoot of R-M269 (the most common Y haplogroup in Western Europe) called R-BY3198. SNPTracker shows R-BY3198 as being in the middle of the Irish Sea as of the Roman era. Assuming the Boyle/Bole men were not aquatic creatures, the nearby land areas and migration route do match up pretty well with them being descendants of the Boyvilles of France who came to the British Isles sometime before 1086 and settled in Ayrshire, Scotland, before going to what's now Northern Ireland.
