Yorkshire DYS YCA II b 21

Recently among a certain group of families with origins in Yorshire , England . There all have the value of 21 at Marker DYS YCA II b with most with the value of 16 at DYS 456. Very different from the usual value of 13 at DYS 456 of the O'Neill's of Puerto Rico. It's difficult to find what group of peoples does the value of 21 at YCA II b might define. But since it's is found among a group of various families in Yorshire this could give some insight of it's origins.

The Celts, Saxons , Danes or Norse?

Region of Yorshire was once occupied by the Brigantes a Celt tribal name found in Northern Spain, Austria, York and South East Ireland. Modern day Austria was once the home land of the tribe called the Brigantii on the lake of Constance once called the Brigantinus Lacus. Their capital was Brigantium Raetiae modern day Bregenz. In Northern Spain we have Brigantia and Brigantium Hispaniae in La Coruna , Spain. In South east Ireland there is the ancient region of Bregia and described by Ptolemy in his map as a region occupied by the Brigantes. Then we have the Brigantes of North Riding Yorkshire and West Riding Yorkshire. The Brigantes in England controlled more territory than any other Celtic tribe. Ancient Yorkshire was known as Isurium Brigantium.

Currently no y-dna evidence has been found to support that the Marker DYS YCA II b 21 defines the Brigantes. No y-dna L48 + group of people have been found in Northern Spain with the value of 21 @ YCA II b . There has been two different tested people one form Switzerland but it's not known if his origins are from the area near the Lake Constance and another has been tested and his origins are from Bukovina a are that was once part of Galicia of Eastern Europe . Still there is no evidence to support that this marker DYS YCA II b 21 defines any Brigantes Celts since all these areas were once occupied by the Goths and other Germanic tribes.

It's very likely this marker may define the Danes or Norse of Yorkshire who in 866 invaded and captured Yorkshire led by Ivar the Boneless . There could be many possible origins for this group in Yorkshire the Ynglings etc. It's very likely this DYS YCA II b with value of 21 may end up showing the origins of the Danes or Norse of Yorshire.
