I-M253 Haplo Group. Brother tested.

Are you a member of the https://www.facebook.com/groups/I1.Z140.YDNA.Project/ ? If not, I recommend it highly for anyone who has haplogroup I1 results. Join and ask the admin, William Hartley, for suggestions. He is probably in the top five experts for our haplogroup.

Agree with John. You would probably need to do more testing and William can look up your results with your permission and make recommendations. There is also this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Z138Project/

Thanks snp list shows M253, D29, Z63...

To everyone with I-M253,

I am writing on behalf of Pamela Sherren. Her brother is of the Y-DNA group. Her father was adopted and passed away - no info of his biological parents. Pamela's father was named Dirk Willem Stokes, born 1910 in Kenhardt.

If anyone can help, she will appreciate it.

Rgards,

Tested ? FTDNA or ----?
Usually matches on sites testing allready point in direction .

Adding the results to Geni might also help.

Pamela Sherren is already on My Heritage. She is the woman looking for Y-DNA I-M253. Her brother tested Y-DNA I-M253. Pamela's father was named Dirk Willem Stokes, born 1910 in Kenhardt. The gossip story is that he was the child of a man in Namibia. Seeing that Germans have Y-DNA I-M253, it is possible. She will put the DNA into My Heritage.

I also send her the facebook link.

Pamela will continue with her search.

If the brother could add himself and link his result to MyHeritage or Geni then the dna would be find possible
matches.
I-M253 very common in South Africa van Rensburg and van Vuuren surnames examples

Phillipp,

I will pass on the info to Pamela. Thanks a lot!

Thanks everyone for your help.
