We have one match from familytreedna for the Henwood Ydna test.
Surprisingly, the fellow is a Hopwood. This surname is so close to Henwood, that it makes one wonder about the development of the surnames. Hopefully we will hear from him after sending an email today and might find out how these two lines connect.
They have a 91.41% of sharing a common ancestor if they go back about 600 years. Since Henwood fits the bill of the Atlantic Model Haplotype, we find that this is a very popular line.

Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype
Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype
from Family Tree DNA
Your DNA signature for your Surname "Henwood" is 1 point away from the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype the most common Y-DNA signature of Europe’s most common Haplogroup, R1b1b2. Simply put your ancestors have experienced a dramatic population explosion over the past 10,000 years, probably since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM-that’s Anthropology-speak for the last Ice Age) that covered most of Europe beginning 20,000 years ago and lasting for 10,000 long cold winters.R1b, and its most common Haplotypes (yours), exists in high or very high frequencies in all of Western Europe from Spain in the south to the British Isles and western Scandinavia in the north. It appears that approximately 1.25 % of Western European males share this strikingly common genetic 12 marker signature and because of its very high frequency we always suggest that for genealogy purposes people in this group should only use our 25 or 37 marker test for their genealogy.Anthropologists have been describing for many years that only a select % of all the males in past societies did the vast majority of fathering, while other males lost the opportunity to pass on their Y-Chromosomal genes.On a lighter note it is clear that R1b’s Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype has contributed much more than its ‘fair share’ in populating Western Europe.

Henwoods on Facebook
There are over 500 Henwoods listed on Facebook. It would be interesting if they were all related. Being that there is a village in Cornwall, England called "Henwood", it could be that the citizens took on the name as their surname. They could have started as a family unit that became a tribal unit, and then a village with some unrelated people living there that also took the surname. DNA would answer that question.
Think of how many Henwoods there are that are not on facebook. It's quite a popular name.
There are 3,687,503 entries of Henwood on www.ancestry.com. I see that Henwood has been in the USA for a long time, even back in Indian wars.
Move over, Smith and Jones. Henwood is a popular name, also.

We Fit Atlantic Modal Haplotype
DYS markers 19, 389-1, 389-2, 391, 392 and 393 are the definition of the Atlantic Modal Haplotype, except for ourDYS 390 which is 23 instead of the 24. Most of the people in the Sinclair project fall within a one-step mutation of these markers. Note that this chart shows DYS390=24. This is precisely on the AMH, but the folks who found this Haplogroup decided to allow someone to be off by one or two markers and still say they're part of the AMH. Those days are numbered as there are so many SNPs now being found downstream of this Haplogroup.
When you couple our DYS390 values with other particular markers, we can compare ourselves to some interesting studies that have been conducted throughout Europe. Our DYS19 values are overwhelmingly 14 with a few 13's and 15's. Our DYS392 values are overwhelmingly 13's with a few interesting 11's and 14's. These are all quite deviant from the AMH norm, but are still classified as R1b.
Our Henwood DYS 19=14
DYS 389-1=13
DYS 389-2=29
DYS 390=23 instead of 24.
DYS 391=11
DYS 392=13
DYS 393=13
DYS 390 may show that this line came from original people of Britain, the Celtic natives, but more likely it is showing they came from Anglo Saxons and Danes in Denmark. Also they could have come from the northern coast of the Netherlands or Western and Northern Germany.

Dutch Jews with R1b1b2
Dutch Sephardic Jews with R1b1b2 haplogroup - DNA Forums - Bennett Greenspan (of FTDNA) said that there was a small population of Dutch Sephardi from the R1b1b2 haplogroup.
I had wondered if Henwood could be one of these people, but I need to have a much deeper test done to find out. Hen is a surname with Sephardic Jews in Spain. Wood was a surname found in Holland. In the Spanish tradition, surnames are combined when marriage takes place for the female. Thus, Henwood could be created from two families.

R1b1b2 to Ireland
20,000-30,000 years ago the most prevalent subclade was R1b .
18,000 years ago Europe was covered with ice from the last ice age.
Humans moved down south to Portugal and Spain.
About 14,000 -10,000 years ago they moved from Spain to England and Ireland.

Test Results of DNA In
The test results of dna have arrived. This Henwood line is an R1b1b2 haplogroup.
The test was only on 12 alleles, but so far we have no matches to warrent going further at this point.
DYS 393 was the usual 13. The interesting thing is that our Robinson line of Mildred E. Robinson, grandmother of the Henwood tested, was also R1b1b2. However, they had a DYS 393 of 12, which is very rare. This is the first allele tested on the familytreedna test. The 2nd allele, DYS 390 on Henwood was a 23 whereas on our Robinson it was 21. Otherwise, the rest of the alleles were exactly the same. Robinson's history was that they came over not on the Mayflower but the next ship. Where I thought they came from England, it's looking more like Ireland all the time, or possibly even Wales.
Several others on my list were also found to be R1b1b2, and very close to this Henwood.
As to finding matches in the world, an interesting but expected result was as follows.
1. 376 matches were from England out of 19,456 tested. This is a 1.9%. This Henwood's grandparents were both from England. A surprise is that 9 matches were from Belgium out of 429 making it a 2.1%. Denmark had 12 matches out of 684 with a 1.8%. Germany had 166 out of 9,824 with 1.7%. The Netherlands had 29 matches out of 1,364 with a 2.1%. (My initial theory was that a Hen had married a Wood that was in the Netherlands. Then I had found the Henwood Village in Cornwall, England, but this line seems to not be from that group. )
Now we'll sit back and see if any further matches come up through familytreedna. We'll be notified. I'm hoping that some Henwoods will get involved and get tested.
