Hello Cousins!
As you may recall, we have been trying for several years to find another male Vosper to do a Y-DNA test to match Robert Vosper OR John Vosper of Australia. Recently Kenneth Vosper found us, and got his Y-DNA test done – and it comes in as a match to Robert Vosper, with a J-M267 haplogroup. This confirms our Jewish family origins. Here is the match, as shown from Robert's results:
This shows a confirmation along the following lines, with Robert Vosper and Mary Bawden as common ancestors:
Of interest is the genetic difference of 4, shown in the first column of the match. That is a pretty significant difference over 4 generations on just 37 markers. I am not a Y DNA expert, but I don't think it should be so high – that indicates at least one mutation every generation. I have copied Joe Flood, who is the administrative head of the Cornwall Project at FTDNA and hope he will have some information about this, and whether we should be concerned about it.
Ken, could you please go to your FTDNA account and under MyProjects, request membership in the following projects:
Ken, I don't think you will be eligible for the Cornwall Advanced YDNA project unless you do some additional testing, but I think Joe can give you some guidance about that. Also, could you please go to your Profile page and enter the following information:
To do this go to your account settings (drop down under your name and kit number in upper right), and then Genealogy
For paternal ancestry information, you should enter Johanes Vosper, d. 1590 St. Melion, Cornwall
Then go to Surnames and add Vosper and Trevosper:
Robert Vosper, under Joe Flood's guidance has purchased additional testing and now shows the following haplogroup:
Joe, I want to assure you that we belong in the Cornwall group, so here is the list of ancestors we all descend from with the Vosper lineage birth and death locations noted:
Hoping this communication finds everyone well and happy!
