My mtdna is T1a2 [Csango side]

[andre]

My maternal haplogroup is T1a2.. t1 and t2 are very common in balkan area, but my clade is spread only in the levant (egypt, israel,lebanon) and in some places like costal turkey and cyprus (christian lebanese immigrants?).
It’s possible that my Mtdna is a jewish one?

[Art23]

T1a2 is not Jewish. Behar has identified 4 typical Jewish lineages and T1a2 is not among them.

T1 is very common in east balkans, probably most common in Romania under europe. Probably Neolithic farmers origin, but Im not sure about the clade

Ok, but, it’s more probable a jew connection that a lebanese or aegean turk one. Bacau before ww2 has 30-40% Ashkenazi population.. it was a little armenian community too across all the county. It could be armenian?

Roman it’s not a ethnic term.. do you mean a levantine roman citizen?

Mitochondrial DNA shows ancient connections. Yours is definitely not Ashkenazi. Armenian is unlikely as well. But, yes, it is similar to Arabic populations - Syria, Lebanon, Jordan... Most likely the lineage has migrated to Balkans during Neolithic...

The ones that 40% of Ashkenazim belong to? That misses the other 60%, nevermind the non-Ashkenazi groups. Did you bother reading the study?

There are Jews with T1a2 .

Armenia is a good guess in your case.

There is a result from Romania with it on FTDNA, but he might just be from the same source (or it's you).

I've read the study. But honestly I don't care that much, I'm not a Jew.
And the fact that some Jews are T1a2 does not mean that all T1a2 are Jews.

Nice.. no, that sample it’s not me. It’s so interesting because i have some anatolian admix on 23andme, ftdna and my heritage (~1.5%), and that could be the reason why i tend to aegean europe.
