Abstract
A sixty-seven marker short tandem repeat (STR) genetic analysis of Y-chromosomes reveals an unnoted modal haplotype showing a significant association with surnames claimed to have descended from the Norman dynasties. This suggests that such phylogenetic prevalence is a biological record, supports the reliability of early genealogies for Rollo ‘The Dane’ and the House of Normandy. Current Y-chromosome haplogroup maps only cover the broadest-brush strokes of the highest-level origins. Existing methods only generalize geographic patterns based on large population genetic frequency and SNP. Biogeographical Multilateration (BGM) illustrates the paternal ancestor migration flow as well as Rollo’s chronological and physical origins at the individual haplotype level.
