My Paternal Y-DNA is :The R-BY153243 paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor R-S18883 and the rest of humankind around 200 BCE. Would like to hear from any other Riezebos / Riesebos / Riezebosch / Riesebosch that has done Y-DNA testing to compare results.
My Maternal mtDNA is :The K1b2b3 maternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor K1b2b and the rest of humankind around 2950 BCE.
This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the ancestor K1b2b was born between the years 3055 and 2806 BCE. The most likely estimate is 2930 BCE, rounded to 2950 BCE.
This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.
The woman who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 150 CE. I would like to hear from any other mtDNA descendant of Thomine Chastel b. 1600, spouse of Jean Bigot, to compare results. I match other descendants which proves my descent from Francoise Bigot, her daughter.
My oldest cousin still present in the world thru my maternal mtDNA is:
"Ötzi the Iceman,( the Similaun Man, the Man from Hauslabjoch, Homo tyrolensis, and the Hauslabjoch mummy) is a well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived around 3,300 BCE. The mummy was found in September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps, hence Ötzi, near the Similaun mountain and Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy. He is Europe's oldest known natural human mummy, and has offered an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic Europeans. His body and belongings are displayed in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy."-Wikipedia
