Чини ми се да је, више пута до сада, помињано истраживање 2003-2008 David K. Faux (
http://www.davidkfaux.org/ShetlandY-DNAExcelNew.htm), гдје је аутор пронашао двојицу припадника Q хаплогрупе, Kit number 16423 HAY(SON), Kit number N5430 LAURENSON на Шетланду.
Дајем коментар Davida K. Fauxa на резултат 16423 HAY(SON), као и занимљиву тезу о поријеклу Q хаплогрупе на тлу Норвешке :
" Q; Shetland Aboriginal - Norse: Asian; There are two Hay familes in Shetland. One descends from a Mainland Clan Hay Scottish family composed of a minister, and his supposed descendnats - two brothers, all ministers. The other family is "local", descendants of one Hay Robertson who used patronymics and the name became Hayson, then Hay; The family of this participant believe that they are of Norse descent, and that their ancestors have no biologcal connection with Clan Hay; John HAYSON, born 1771, Delting, son of Hay ROBERTSON and Barbara GILBERTSDAUGHTER; No matches in 20,000 customer database. Only matches found in FTDNA Haplogroup Database with 1 exact match from Shetland, 2 each from Shetland and Iceland at the 11 / 12 match level, and 1 each from Iceland and Norway 10 / 12; This haplotype is, considering the pattern of matches, doubtless Norse Viking. The DNA evidence supports the family tradition. The haplogroup is very rare, and not found (to date) anywhere but the above mentioned locations (not Mainland Scotland). While there is little doubt that at the time of the Viking occupation of Shetland circa 800AD the HAY ancestor was residing in Norway,
the ancient origins are not European. Haplogroup Q is only found among Central and East Asians as well as Native Americans. A Central Asian origin seems most likely, especially considering that in one classic study of Icelandic Y chromosomes, 7% were Q. There has never been any suggestion of any Greenland Inuit presence in Iceland, but the Edda sagas give Asia as the ancestral homeland of a substantial contingent of the Norse in pre - Viking times.

https://www.familytreedna.com/public/qnordic?iframe=yresults) гдје је 16423 HAY(SON) сврстан у групу Q M242+ L56+ L53+ L804+ JN15+ Y16137+ YP5097+ predicted.
Ту се налази и један наш(?) Q M242+ L940- Y2659+
