The Y-Chromosome information is a long shot but will become of increasing use as more people are tested, their results made public and their family\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s migration patterns are geographically plotted and tracked as far back as they can.<\/p>\n
Feel free to pass this info along to anyone else in the family who might be interested in it.<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great detective story for a family of thespians and other creative types.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Frank McCallum Finding ancestors & kin Y-DNA E1b1b1c1a1 (E-M136) (E-M34)<\/strong><\/p>\nKey Points: We are looking for the parents of our grand father, Frank McCallum, and living family too. Frank was likely born in 1891 or 92, probably in the United States and orphaned before he was 12.\u00c2\u00a0 He emigrated, that is walked, from North Dakota to Saskatchewan, Canada around 1902.\u00c2\u00a0 He died in 1956 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n
Much of the social information about him is unconfirmed.\u00c2\u00a0 Recent DNA analysis proves that McCallum could not have been the ancestral name.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
We don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know when or where he was orphaned.\u00c2\u00a0 The story that family recall that he provided was that he worked on a farm in North Dakota, left and walked into Saskatchewan, Canada in his early teens, around 1902.\u00c2\u00a0 He then worked at Vanscoy near Saskatoon as a farm labourer for Charlie Benolken who had recently emigrated with several other relatives and family members from just west of Minneapolis.\u00c2\u00a0 Frank then acquired four parcels of land to farm and simultaneously operated a small general store from his farm, sold insurance and involved himself in other ventures.<\/p>\n
Apparently he had a younger brother, name unknown, who Frank last saw in North Dakota.\u00c2\u00a0 Later Frank tried finding him but was unsuccessful.\u00c2\u00a0 He remembered his father having red hair and his mother black hair.<\/p>\n

Frank is not a typical Scottish name per se, particularly in that era since the name Frank apparently only came into use in the 1700s.\u00c2\u00a0 Today there are a number of Frank McCallum\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s listed in a Google of today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Glasgow.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\nThe modern day geographical locations of the M136 haplotype are not yet meaningfully identified.\u00c2\u00a0 The earlier E1b1b1c group seems to have originated in or near to the Jordan Valley of the eastern Mediterranean.\u00c2\u00a0 However, distribution of the M34 haplotype also includes northern Spain and Portugal and through the coastal areas of the Mediterranean and into Anatolia and even north East Africa.<\/p>\n

Date of Birth: \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 likely October 27, 1891 or 1892\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Place of Birth: \u00c2\u00a0 possibly Detroit or Wayne County, Michigan (cited in numerous homestead registrations, wedding certificate and WWI sign-up documents); but could also be New York, Illinois and Europe.<\/p>\n

Alternative McCallum Parentage \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Immigrants 1892<\/h2>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Names: Frank McCallum Age 42 (nationality Canadian) & Mrs. McCallum Age 40 (nationality Irish) Both citizens of the USA.<\/p>\n
Arrived: Ellis Island, New York Sept 9 1892\u00c2\u00a0 from Liverpool<\/p>\n
Ship was: The City of New York<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\nOf the 65 McCallums who landed at Ellis Island, New York between 1892 and 1924 only one was named Frank, arriving Sept 9 1892,\u00c2\u00a0who brought no children.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Coincidence? Quite possibly.\u00c2\u00a0 But consider the following: this Frank\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Nationality\/Ethnicity is listed as Canada! Very odd. This Frank is also a Citizen of the United States and destination is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ills\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which I assume is an abbreviation for Illinois (Chicago?). Why would Canadian Frank be taking an Irish wife from Liverpool to live in the US instead of Canada?<\/p>\n
So what might<\/span> be the relevance?<\/p>\n\u00c2\u00b7\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 They could have had a child after arriving in Illinois.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00b7\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Our \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Frank\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00e2\u20ac\u009d parent(s) could have met passenger Frank and his wife on the boat and then after landing taken on his name, and naming his son Frank as a tribute or thank you.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
For an eventual orphan Canada could also be a strong, attractive myth of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153home\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, strong enough to motivate a walk there when he could have walked in any other direction.<\/p>\n
