This project is a meeting place for users who share the R-Z284 Y-DNA haplogroup, which means they are related along their paternal lines. Users in this group may want to share their family trees with each other to find overlaps and merge duplicate profiles in order to join or expand the World Family Tree and discover new relatives.
On Full Genomes Corp, I'm R-S223 which is downstream from R-Z284. On Y-Full, I'm YP-1198. I trace my father's line to coast of Lincolnshire in eastern England. But I have what looks like an identical Y chromosome match (but no autosomal DNA match) with a man from Norway, who traces his father's lineage to a place called Amot in Hedmark, Norway. He says his line is backed up by DNA to a Per Helgesson Alme born 1649 (also YP-1198 and R1a-Z287, the latter being downstream from R-Z284. He says this has been backed up through a match to a distant cousin. Robert Kemp.
