Који Михићи? Мириловићи?
A Big Y-700 was completed in December 2021 for our new member Winovich kit B752300. He is American and his paternal ancestors were Serbian from Gomirje in Gorski Kotar, Croatia, the family name was originally Vujnović. According to his Y111 markers he belongs to the Dinaric North cluster. He has only 12 names on his Y-DNA STR matches list, none are close matches.
According to his Big Y, Mr WInovich belongs to I-Z17855, this is a major haplogroup that is typical of Bulgaria and Serbia but not very typical of Croatia. More specifically, he is Z17855>FT386376>PH3414. There are two previous Big Y samples in I-PH3414, both have Serbian ancestry from Eastern Herzegovina in BiH: kit 599044 (Big Y-7000 and Mihić kit 381974 (Big Y-500). Another Mihić ordered his test from DanteLab and sent his BAM file to YFull. The Mihić men are in the more specific I-Y48807 haplogroup on the YFull tree:
https://www.yfull.com/live/tree/I-Z17855/ There are some additional I-PH3414 samples that aren't shown on the YFull and FTDNA trees. PH3414 was discovered in Pille Halast's 2014 survey "The Y-chromosome tree bursts into leaf ". One of the samples in the survey, ser-20 from Serbia, belonged to I-PH3414. We can also predict that I-P37 project member Glumac kit N74085 (Croatia) belongs to I-PH3414, he hasn't done Big Y.
In addition to PH3414, WInovich, Mihić kit 381974, and the other Big Y sample (kit 599044) share another ten SNPs, 4 of these SNPs occur in regions that are considered unsuitable for phylogeny. FTDNA's tree shows these SNPs as equivalent. But YFull's tree shows three SNPs at the I-PH3414 level, and eight SNPs at a more specific level called I-Y58629. YFull doesn't show any PH3414+ Y58629- samples. Maybe YFull's levels are based on a sample which no longer appears on the YFull tree.
Winovich has 8 private variants/SNPs that haven't been reported in previous I-P37 Big Y results. Kit 599044 has negative results for all 8 SNPs. One SNP wasn't covered in Mihić kit 381974's Big Y-500 test, but the other Mihić man has negative results in his Dante Lab test.
Winovich has already purchased his BAM file and completed the YFull analysis. We will ask him to join the I-L621 group at YFull, that's the best way to share his YFull reports with our project:
https://www.yfull.com/groups/i-l621/create-join-request/People in I-L161 "Isles" should join the I-L161 group
https://www.yfull.com/groups/i-L161/create-join-request/and people in I-M26, I-L233 and other small branches should join the I-CTS595 group
