To summarise what we know, we now
have three men who have been tested. They are:
Andrew John Swinfield born 1957
Sydney, NSW Family 3A Derrick George Joseph Swinfield born 1928
Paul Frederick Swinfield born 1957 Crayford, Kent Family 4 & 13
Andrew & Derrick match at 29 of
32 markers
Paul & Derrick match at 31 of 32
markers
Andrew & Paul match at 34 of 37

Andrew’s ancestor was William
(1804-1876) who emigrated to NSW in 1848. He is the forebear of all living
Swinfields in Australia. Paul’s great-great-grandfather, George Swinfield (born
1825), remained in England after his two oldest brothers, William and John
(1806-1874), travelled to the other side of the World.
Derrick is part of my branch of the
Swinfields, Family 5, an equally large lineage. Unlike me, through the
unfortunate illegitimacy which resulted in my great-grandfather, in 1841 (see
Part 6 of the blog), he would appear to have a “typical” Swinfield
Y-chromosome. He has inherited this from his direct male ancestors. His almost
exact match with the two representatives of Family 3 & 4 strongly argues
that the two largest pedigrees are branches of one much larger family tree. If
only records had survived from that early, it would be possible to show that
all those named Swinfield descend from a single ancestor who assumed our
surname in about the 13th century when names became hereditary.
It would appear that the "Swinfield haplotype" is:
DYS | Value | DYS | Value | |||
393 | 13 | 448 | 19 | |||
390 | 24 | 449 | 30 | |||
19 | 14 | 464a | 15 | |||
391 | 10 or 11 | 464b | 16 | |||
385a | 11 | 464c | 16 or 17 | |||
385b | 14 | 464d | 17 | |||
426 | 12 | 460 | 11 | |||
388 | 12 | GATA-H4 | 11 | |||
439 | 11 | YCAlla | 19 | |||
389a | 13 | YCAllab | 23 | |||
392 | 13 | 456 | 15 | |||
389b | 29 | 607 | 14 | |||
458 | 17 | 576 | 19 | |||
459a | 9 | 570 | 17 | |||
459b | 9 or 10 | CDYa | 35 | |||
455 | 11 | CDYb | 36 or 37 | |||
454 | 11 | 442 | 12 | |||
447 | 24 | 438 | 12 | |||
437 | 14 |
We now need to test men from other branches to see if they have the same haplotype too. Volunteers please raise your hands!
