Researching the ancestors and descendants of the Simons' family of Cortober townland, Kildrumsherdan parish, County Cavan, Ireland
Genetic relationship between the three branches of the Simons family (Matthew Simonds, English branch; Ronald Arthur Simons, James Simons of Ireland branch; Brian Symonds, David Simons of Ireland branch) confirmed with DNA by both Y-DNA Short Tandem Repeat (STR) match and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) match at FamilyTreeDNA.
Predicted test participant relationship according to further analysis at YFull is that Matthew Simonds (FTDNA kit 310372, YFull id YF01701), Brian Symonds (FTDNA kit 218702 and YFull id YF01668) and Ronald Arthur Simons (FTDNA kit 330318 and YFull id YF01897) share a common patrilinial ancestor who lived between 1000 and 275 years ago (TMRCA confidence interval 95% 1000<->275 ybp). Brian Symonds and Matthew Simonds have a genetic distance of 3 with a match of 108/111 STR markers. Ronald Arthur Simons and Matthew Simonds have a genetic distance of 5 with a match of 106/111 STR markers. Brian Symonds and Ronald Arthur Simons have a genetic distance of 6 with a match of 105/111 STR markers. Based on Big Y SNP testing at FamilyTreeDNA, all three belong to haplogroup I-Y4044 which is defined by the SNP called Y4044 (ChrY position 7215409, A->G) as well as nine other SNPs. Our positions on the I-P109 section of the Y-Tree can be seen here. See the WikiTree page on Simonds yDNA for further analysis.
