I Share DNA with the Brana-Arintero sample from Leon, Spain which is about 7000 years old

Hi Everyone,

I was reading Roberta Estes newest post about new ancient DNA samples being added to Gedmatch one of them really caught my interest the La Brana-Arintero sample from Leon, Spain(Nortwest Spain near Northern Portugal, it is about 7,000 years old. The Kit number on Gedmatch is F999915 anyway I compared my kit and my fathers kit to the La Brana-Arintero sample by reducing the CM setting to 1 and SNP to 300 for comparison. My father matches the La Brana-Arintero sample 1.7 CM on Chromosome 1 and I match it on Chr 6,16, and 17 between 1.1-1.3 CM. This was very exciting perhaps some other people will also match and share the results on this thread.

Here is an article on the Dieneke's Anthropology Blog on the La Brana-Arintero.

If anyone is interested in knowing what this individual looked like 7,000 years ago a facial reconstruction has been done using his skull very interesting! I also got this off Roberta's Blog.

Interesting I used the same setting for the Linearbandkeramik sample Kit # F1999916 and matched much closer. He was a farmer found in Stuttgart Germany that lived 7,500 years ago I match with him 251.8CM, total 5.4CM on Chromosome 13 and  SNP at 719. Wow never would have expected that I match an ancient DNA sample from Germany much closer than one from the Iberian Peninsula.

Sorry the correct # for the Linarbandkermak sample is F999916.
