I know it's one of those things you cannot change. But what was your first reaction when you found out your haplogroup/s? Were you pleased or disappointed?

I was surprised, mainly because I thought it would be something different. After I came to terms with this, I realized that my haplogroup represents a people with a reputation for strength and stability.

I agree autosomal dna is more helpful overall, but there is something to be said for a man to know his paternal line, who his father's father's father was. It is similar to one's surname. It represents you.

I don't know my haplogroup, I would probably get R1b-S28 or R1b-L21, no idea for mitochondrial DNA.

I was a bit surprised. I was expecting it to be something more common like H. It's great that it's not very common (makes me special!) but there is very little information about it. There are only 6 people with it on the FTDNA database with my particular subclade, and I am one of them. So that makes 5 other people.

it shouldn't mean much since it is just a one ancestor out of other thousands.. Anyway, It is native to the region and occurs highest (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ItFg3ZDOCc/UAfrJKKY7aI/AAAAAAAAFC8/WQfxUO6_9Vw/s1600/journal.pone.0041252.t001.jpg) on my nation in the region so it's cool..

Btw, i was talking about my Y-DNA since i thought this thread was only about it. As for my mt-dna, i didn't get the most common H, and i got a more random one that is not very specific to my nation:

Still i found it interesting and tried to learn more about it.

I was shocked at first to see I was from haplogroup E (especially seeing the 23andme distribution map), but then I found out what my haplogroup (Y-DNA) actually means, i.e. the specific E-V13 which is Neolithic and connected with early Greek expansion in southeast Europe. It brings all sorts of possibilities and is interesting. So ... proud Trojan/Thracian here :thumb001:

As for my mtDNA, H1b, it seems to be common in Northern Europe so I was pleased from the start with it.

Ah yes, an invader haplogroup would be disapointing to me too. A Roman, Moor or Germanic haplogroup.
Luckily mine is native and older than those people :)

Invader haplogroup! :lol:

Makes it sound like an invader species of plant which has taken over the habitat of indigenous flora.

Loki
07-14-2013, 06:26 PM
As for invader/native ... my haplogroup is certainly an invader one ... it is very rare where my paternal family comes from. It's said to be from Roman soldiers of Balkan origin (likely Thracian) who settled in the area of Germania Inferior.

My Y-DNA is the most common in Poland but subclade and cluster looks interesting (looks more Sarmatian than Slavic and has interesting distribution - from Volga Tatars to the Carpathian Highlanders and Hungarians). It's named as a "Volga-Carpathian". We need some Sarmatian aDNA, maybe my dreams will come true :D

Iazyges cataphract, MAYBE one of my ancestors:
http://www.dbaol.com/images/faces/1331_face.jpg
Fought in a Marcomannic wars along with Germanic Marcomanni and Quadi.

My mtdna is very interesting and quite old, found commonly in mesolithic remains from Russia to as west as Portugal, coorelated mostly with North-Central Euro hunters-gatherers.
The oldest U4 is from Germany, found in Bad Dürrenberg and dated to the 6850 BC. Quite decent distibution among Baltic and Finnic people, non-trivial in Sweden and among East Slavs.

I was surprised to find out that my mtDNA haplogroup is U5a1b, which isn't a very common haplogroup, especially in Greece. But I can't say I feel happy or sad about it.
My Y DNA haplogroup is the most common in Greece, so no big surprises here.

Thor2009

I'm okay with them, I guess.
I wish there was more info on them. K2b1a is rare, and R1b L20+ is relatively new and there's not a lot of info on it.

Jackson
09-07-2013, 12:45 PM
I'm happy with mine. They are both kinda interesting and go well together (I1 and U5a1b). My grandfather's haplogroup (H1b) is kinda interesting too, as it is more common in eastern Europe, although i have no recent eastern European ancestry, my grandmother and father's mtdna haplogroup is pretty much what i expected - J1c8 - As that line comes from NW England, and J1c in the British Isles is centered around the Irish Sea as far as i know.

It's kind of cool that they go together, like the most common pairing is R1b and H, second most common is I and U5. So i am less common but still fit in perfectly. :)

I'd imagine that many of those with a strong sense of identity would have a little crisis if they found out that they aren't exactly what they thought.

Except a haplogroup doesn't really determine what you are; all it indicates is maternal and paternal lines, both of which are a small part of your overall ancestry/identity.

I mean, somebody could be 95% Native American and have a European haplogroup; all it takes is for their paternal line to eventually go back to Europe, even if it is only their 10th great-grandfather who was European.

For example; I'm R1b-L20+, which appears to be Italo-Celtic, but given the thousands of years of history of the areas in which my ancestors lived, they were likely part Celtic, part Germanic, and part Norse.
Besides, I mostly take after/identify with my mother's paternal line, which my haplogroup doesn't say shit about.

I just don't see how having the "wrong haplogroup" could hurt someone's identity.

Before I got my 23andme results there was this anti-Turkic/Turkish guy on anthrocivitas who was always trying to demolish any sort of Turkic influence in Turks and Turkey. He was absolutely obsessed with it and spamming the forum 24/7 with his propaganda. So when I got myself tested he told me that I should not expect any signs of Turkic ancestry and that if I did happen to score some sort of CA ancestry, it would be the result of rape.

So I was like 'in your face, douche!' when I got my results back. :D

But other than that, my haplogroups are just cool. My paternal line is a typical Western/Anatolian haplogroup and my maternal line is a Turkic one (or at least carried by Turkics) straight out of Siberia. I think that's a pretty cool haplogroup combo for a Anatolian Turk.

Azalea

Btw, while my mtDNA and my father's Y-DNA makes perfect sence, his mtDNA stays a mistery. It's a rare Northern/Eastern African one and also common in Sephardi Jews (M1a). Though, when it comes to his autosomal DNA, there are no signs or traces of Eastern or Northern African ancestry. Or even Jewish ancestry for that matter. And so far I have only come across one other West Asian (Armenian) person with the same mtDNA.

I don't care much for haplogroups, they're pretty insignificant. Although I guess I'm somewhat happy with the relative rarity of my yDNA, even though 23andme can't tell me much more than I2. And I can't really be bothered forking out money to ftDNA to find out the specifics.

Graham
09-08-2013, 07:40 AM
You sort of mix with your closest neighbours.

The Belgae were a group of Gallo-Germanic tribes living in northern Gaul, between the English channel and the west bank of the Rhine, from at least the 3rd century BC. They were later found also in Britain, and possibly even Ireland. The Belgae gave their name to the Roman province of Gallia Belgica, and very much later, to the modern country of Belgium.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Map_Gallia_Tribes_Towns.png/590px-Map_Gallia_Tribes_Towns.png
Julius Caesar describes Gaul at the time of his conquests (58 - 51 BC) as divided into three parts, inhabited by the Aquitani in the southwest, the Gauls of the biggest central part, who in their own language were called Celtae, and the Belgae in the north.

Ancient sources such as Caesar are unclear about the things used to define ethnicity today. He describes the Belgae as both Celtic (or at least Gaulish) and Germanic (at least some of them, and at least by descent). Strabo stated that the differences between the Celts and Belgae, in countenance, language, politics and way of life was a small one, unlike the difference between the Aquitanians and Celts.

On the other hand it has been proposed that there could have been more than one language within the region, and also possibly differences between the language of the elite and the rest of the population. Many modern scholars believe that the Belgae were a firmly Celtic-speaking group.

However, at least part of the Belgae may also have had significant genetic, cultural and historical connections to peoples east of the Rhine, including Germanic peoples, judging from archaeological, placename, and textual evidence.

Britain

The Belgae had made their way across the English Channel into southern Britain in Caesar's time.

Caesar asserts they had first crossed the channel as raiders, only later establishing themselves on the island. The precise extent of their conquests is unknown. After the Roman conquest of Britain, the civitas of the Belgae was bordered to the North by the British Atrebates, who were also a Belgic tribe, and to the east by the Regnenses, who were probably linked to the Belgae as well.

Caesar recorded a number of tribal names in the region of Kent, of which one (Cenimagni) resembles the name of a Northern Gaulish tribe (Cenomani),[ and other studies have also attempted to link the spread of Aylesford-Swarling pottery across the southeastern corner of Britain to the Belgic invasion; however, none of this is certain.

I just don't see how having the "wrong haplogroup" could hurt someone's identity.

If you have a strong antionalist sense, especially in a divisive country, I can see it.

If you are from british isles or unknown white american you probably have r1b anyway, so all you can do is see if it's an interesting subclade. My grandfather was english but my grandfather was definitely "exotic" so I might have something else in store but there's probably nothing I'd be upset about. Hopefully something interesting.

They just found some very old M mtDNA in messopotamia from a skeleton a few thousand years old even though it's astoundingly rare now. So, perhaps you have some very ancient roots in the area.

I have mtdna U2e1a. When I first got my own 23andme results it told me my direct maternal line is South Asian, which is wrong. 23andme wrongly has U2e and its subclades U2e1, U2e1a, and U2e1a1 listed as South Asian. The reality is: U2e and its subclades are an ancient European subclade of U2, which had diverged from the South Asian U2i over 50kya. So at first I was a little confused thinking my direct maternal line might be part Gypsy before I read up on it.
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_U_(mtDNA)#Haplogroup_U2

I thought my father and paternal grandmother's mtdna would be some sort of U or H, like most Europeans/WestAsians. It turned out to be H13a2 which is a subclade of H13. H13 peaks in the Caucasus area, specifically Dagestan, according to 23andme. Alberta speculates that my father may have direct maternal ancestry from these people because of it:

I was really hoping J2 for my dad's y haplogroup, but he ended up with E1b1b1c1a(E-M84 in short form), which is just as good! Here is a great article about E-M84:

Well, at first I was rather neutral since I wasn't very knowledgable about haplogroups and mine aren't very common, so I hadn't heard about them. But after researching what is available (there isn't that much research on them), I'm rather happy. I still don't know much about my mtDNA, but my Y-DNA is very cool. :cool:

The distribution of J2b2 in Anatolia is linked to Phrygian Settlements. My paternal line is from Sangarius, modern-day Sakarya, it's where the home of the Phrygians was located. So assuming my paternal line has indeed arrived with the Phrygians, they have been in Sakarya for 2700-3200 years.

My recomendation to everyone: Y-DNA at least for 67 markers (111-max); mtDNA - mtFullSequence, no less (less will be so general result).
Good luck!

I am happy with my haplogroup.
My Y-DNA was sort of both, a surprise (in a good way) and typical for my family's origins.

First I was to find it was marker of Celtic speakers in the Atlantic, and upon further testing I found it not only belongs to the "Scots-Model", but that certain markers were found with more frequency among families who had origins in the western Lowlands of Scotland.

I was proud because it reflected the genealogical origins of my father's line, who were Scotch-Irish that had originally came from the western Scottish Lowlands and the Anglo-Scottish Borders and also because it was said to be a marker of the Strathclyde Britons, in my case.

This got me more interested in the history of those people and I was also just generally proud of the fact they were some of the earlier, pre-Roman settlers in Scotland itself.

My mtdna is H and I have not done any further testing yet on it but I am still proud of it as being a very common marker found in European populations.

I dont place too much emphasis on them though, like some people, because the autosomal results are what truly matter .
But I am also proud of those as they too reflect the general background of my family history, coming mostly from the British Isles.

Here's something that you can try. If you know the names of your various male ancestors, go to one of those family DNA web sites. If you know the date and place of his birth, you can discover his haplotype. So far, I've found R1b (two kinds), R1a, I1, and E3b in different ancestors' lines.

Siginulfo
01-07-2014, 04:54 PM
So far, I only know my Y-DNA haplogroup. I was a bit shocked with it (I have a very rare E-M78 sub-clade), because there were not many in formations about it. Later I began to be proud of it, as my studies of the sub-clade were deepening my knowledge. Eventually I found that the highest STR variance was found in the Netherlands and the coalescence age 12.300 years old, so Late Mesolitic. Some weeks ago I discovered that the oldest boat in the world was discovered in the Netherlands, and the datings show that it was constructed soon after the birth of my sub-clade.
With my matches (all from Central and Northern Europe) I confirmed 1) my supposed Germanic ancestry and 2) the belonging to a noble family of Saxon origin.

I was a bit surprised. I was expecting it to be something more common like H. It's great that it's not very common (makes me special!) but there is very little information about it. There are only 6 people with it on the FTDNA database with my particular subclade, and I am one of them. So that makes 5 other people.

Same, i am surprised not to be something like H, there's nothing wrong with being H but i'm glad i'm not.
Wish i was something really more random though.. like haplogroup X or Y xD

Anybody can shed more light on this haplogroup?

Musso
04-13-2014, 04:24 AM
I am reading this:


E1b1b1a2. V13
E1b1b1a2 (V13) is highest in the Balkan Peninsula (Albania 32%, Greece 18-45%) and diminishes from here northward. It overlaps with the previously identified E1b1b1a M78 a cluster, and makes up the majority of E chromosome types in Europe. This cluster was found primarily in Europe and to a lesser extent the Near East (e.g. 5% Turkey). It is rarely found outside of Europe.
For example, the most prevalent E subclade in Crete was defined as the E1b1b1a M78 a cluster. It is quite likely that Greece was the source of this subclade on Crete and that this subclade is common overall in the Aegean region. The estimates for the TMRCA of this subclade are 9-11kya outside of Europe (i.e. Near East) and 4-5kya in Europe. The expansion time for the E1b1b1a2 (V13) subclade in Greece is estimated around 4-9kya, somewhat preceding the estimate for the origin of this subclade, which is due to the use of different mutation rate models. The estimate for expansion on Crete is 3kya, which coincides with an influx of Mycenaean culture from the Greek mainland during the end of the Bronze Age. The E1b1b1a2 (V13) most closely follows the route proposed for Y-chromosome haplogroup J-M12 that was part of the late Neolithic introduction of farming and agriculture to Europe and the advances of the ensuing Bronze Age.

Does this necessarily mean that I have some connection to Greeks and or Albanians?

Yes, I am very proud of my paternal haplogroup I2b1* (yes, with the star, though I'm not sure what that means), it is a European haplogroup that seems to be consistent with my direct male line being German despite there possibly being Jewish heritage on that side of the family. I thank God I am not a J or something like that. I2b1* is not the most common one in Germany but is more common in Germany than anywhere else. I also share this haplogroup with Hersir, a Norwegian who used to post on the old Skadi Forum. My maternal haplogroup T2b is consistent with my Irish maternal ancestry, I could take it or leave it, I am not overly proud of it but I have no shame in it either.

Although I do not carry my maternal grandfather's YDNA, since between me and him there is a female, my uncle (mother's brother) was recently tested to be R1b1b2a1a, so I know my mother's father must carry this haplogroup as well. This is most common in Western Europe, not as much associated with Germany as it is with France and Spain, but still a European haplogroup nonetheless, and hence consistent with my maternal grandfather's male line being from Germany. Though I do not carry this I identify with it to a lesser extent, I am proud of my grandfather for having this haplogroup since it is associated with European ancestry.


I can only speculate on what maternal haplogroup my maternal granddad was. He did not have sisters, I will not be able to figure out this unless I test a direct female from one of his maternal aunts. My maternal granddad's mom was from Bohemia in the Sudeten German area, H maybe?


Some people discount haplogroups as meaningless information. While it is true that your haplogroup represents only 1 ancestor in millions, your haplogroup can give off a slight clue about where your other ancestors might have lived. Having a European haplogroup certainly does not mean that all your other ancestors were European, but it does indicate European ancestry on other lines, if you can trace your direct paternal or maternal line to Europe then there is a good chance you can trace at least some of your other lines to there as well.

Your haplogroups are an important minority of your DNA preserved and left intact from tens of thousands of years passed down to you. They are legacies. They are part of your identity and represent membership of generations upon generations of consecutive uninterrupted male and female direct lines. A males paternal haplogroup is in a way, like his last name. It is an important part of his identity, an identity passed down from father to son over many generations, for example I'm an I2b1* male, that's part of my identity. Since it is inherited paternally, most people should be able to link their YDNA haplogroup with their surname, for example my I2b1* could be said to be the Wittenberg haplogroup and my uncles R1b1b2a1a the Wessel haplogroup. But unlike surnames, which on direct paternal lines can change in a few generations (typically not, but sometimes), YDNA haplogroup does not.

Sound as a pound. That maternal line goes back in the family tree to Ireland actually.


The Indo-European branches of mtDNA K -- Eupedia
One way to determine which subclades of K were diffused by the Indo-Europeans is to look for subclades that are consistently found in all populations with high levels of haplogroup R1b in Europe, around the Caucasus, in the Near East and in Central Asia.

K1a1a is found all around Central Asia, as well as central and western Europe, and could be linked to R1b. K1c is also common in Central Asia. K1c1 is particularly common in Slavic countries, while K1c2 is more common in Germanic countries. Both could be associated with R1a. The presence of K1c2 has been confirmed in Tajikistan, a country that has 30% of R1a and only 3% of R1b.

K2b was found by Keyser et al. (2009) in Bronze Age samples related to the Andronovo culture from the Krasnoyarskarea in southern Siberia. The male samples tested from the same site belonged R1a. Nowadays K2b is found mostly incentral and north-eastern Europe (R1a countries) and can therefore safely be linked to the diffusion of the R1a branch of the Indo-Europeans.

Data for deep subclades outside Europe is still sparse, but other potential candidates include K1a3 and K2a6. Note that K1a4 was also found among Neolithic farmers in Germany, but since most K1a subclades originated in the Near East it should not be surprising to find overlaps between Neolithic farmers and Bronze Age Indo-European invaders. It is also the most common subclade in Northwest Europe.

I was intrigued when I found out that my Y-DNA haplogroup was R-S21/U106, "Proto-Germanic". The haplogroup was the the dominant group among West Germanic tribes, and it spread to England between the 3rd and 10th centuries with the Anglo-Saxons. It penetrated into Scandinavia around 1700 BCE, helping to form the Nordic Bronze Age.

Hmmm well my ytDNA, R1b u152 (s28) is pretty vanilla.. no surprises there because of my ancestry; but my mtDNA X2d is pretty neat. Haplogroup X being one of the rarest, most ancient, and widely dispersed haplogroups. Of the subgroups of X, x2d is one of the rarest, found in Greece and around the Black Sea. Because of its small numbers, and huge range, theories on haplogroup Xs origins are very colorful.. my favorite being "the Atlantean haplogroup".

Overall it is comforting to know that my haplogroups are endemic to where my ancestry is actually from. Showing my family has been there a long time.

mt stands for mitochondria. They are a organelle inside of your cells.... the powerhouses of your cells. They carry unique DNA (and are believed to have different origins). Also, they are only passed down maternally, due to being present in ovum but not sperm, whereas X chromosomes are inheritable from both mother and father. (and inheriting two x chromosomes results in one being a female)

That's interesting and thank you for clearing that up for me. My X chromosome reads as British and Irish on 23andMe, so I reckon I got that chromosome from old Boyd McDonald, as well. 61059

Interesting you would say that. We inherit one X chromosome from our mother and one from our father. Women inherit two X chromosomes from both of their parents. You're telling me that it's a guarantee that the X chromosome we inherit from our mothers must be from their own mothers?? https://www.23andme.com/gen101/origins/ http://www.dnainheritance.kahikatea.net/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_chromosome Perhaps so. Interesting..

You were implying your mtDNA was from a non direct maternal ancestor, which is impossible.

I'm going to do another test for my haplogroup, someday. 23andme isn't the best for that, though they are good for autosomal DNA.

You should check this site if you are interested in your Y-DNA https://www.yseq.net/ It's cheaper than FTDNA Y-Dna tests and i heard that there is less wait time for the the results compared to both 23andme and FTDNA.

So, considering you said you were disappointed, you are disappointed in who you are and who your family is, yes?

No.

If you are making a genealogical research, and you find - oh, my granpa
was named John, like 50% of people at that time in that village, I hoped
he was named Athaulf or something similar... - it means, that you are
disapointed in your grandpa per se?

I simply have so problems with hgs, so I was prepered for every opportunity. If R - ok,
fine, if Q - fine too, I am uniqe aso. If I would be uniqe, my reaction would be.. oh... I
am asian... ok, not problem - similar to the majority result. And I knew some things about
hgs and their ethnical connections at that time, so it was for me known as an option from
many known to me possibilities. Simply - I do not emotionate about this, and my surprize
could be long as 5 seconds max. So this is not something what you can call as being
disapointed in family, rather as a became aware of nothing exotic.

At the time when I was tested it was known only that hgs existed, and when I get my
results, it was only a map of Europe with five points on her - unique too, but until this
day I have no idea what it meant. One guy in south Poland, one in Bukarest, in Kyjev,
one in Riga and one somewhere between Hungary Serbia or Romania - I dont remember
exactly. So at that time it gave me not to much about my origin, and about my direct
rethelness - am I rethel or not... Especially, that I expected something similar to the
area of Germany, Italy or something common with western Europe. It wasn't good time
for specific subclades and long specific describings.

But of course after that I was happy becasue it was mine hg,
and still I am happy about my indoeuropeandom as it is visible.

This is why I don't get, why someone can be not happy with hg which he has.
Simply he has it, the same as he has some family, clan and nationality - and this
is objectivly exactly the same in every case.

If I would be Q, N, E whatever, I would be then interested in culture, history, race,
and possibly language, of that group of people, because it would be mine hg, no
matter what hg - coincidently I have R1, so I am interested in that group of people.

Btw, I knew more than decade before I was tested, that I can't be sure who am I according
to ancient population (present big population groups), neither that I am a local Oldeuropean,
neither that I am a new Indoeuropean, or that I am some traveller from who knows where...
Obvious was, that people mixed and there was no way to know that for sure, so I was quitely
laughing in my room as a child over all racists and people who were aryanists-indoeuropeists,
becasue there was probablity, that they are not, who they think they are, or wish to be - and
for that to know, there was no need of hg research my jewish fellow. It was enaugh to think
about it a little...

So I knew, that I can be IE, OE, ME, Asian, whatever, since many years before hg were created
and known. Hg on her own is nothing and means nothing. It has a meaning only, if is a signature
of something else. This is why Y-hgs are meaningfull and mt-hgs are not. If a gen of the little
toe in the left leg would described the lineage and tribe, then he would be important, not Y-hg.

So the letter of hg has the same meaning as letters in this word, describing something
different, than shape of letters and themselves. Aren't they? The same is with any other
expression of similar things, as surname, genealogy, language, name of tribe aso, which
have meaning only, when they are conected to something. It is not enaugh (for example)
to have surnmane smith to be "our smith" - there is need for something more, and the
same is with hgs, which are describing paleoethnicities, which had their own life, territory,
customs, languages, sometimes race and history, which has continuity until this day,
becasue you can describe the such things as Indoeuropeans, Semites, Chineses, Amerindians...

And this is what gives the importance of such thing as hg - the letter is not importnat,
important is the contens and adds to that particular lineage what means people from
that lineage, becasue lineage without people is empty also.

A couple interesting things about the haplogroup breakdowns for Ukrainians

-More J than you might otherwise think.

-More Q than any other European population, it appears.

-Notable presence of E3b

-Very little N3, unlike Russians

The following pie chart for Ukrainians doesn't exactly strongly resemble any other European population.

Anyone who doesn't think Ukrainians are a unique population is quite mistaken. ;)

They are for long term population migration studies, not for autosomal studies. Much like an individuals autosomal DNA have little bearing when describing a population.

Yep. My haplogroups could have been any combination of hapolgroups and I would have been satisfied. To honest I don't care about them. When I first found out what they were,I was a little interested. I looked some stuff up about them but after the first week or so I was over it. They might be important to some people on these kind of forums but not to the majority of people. Not to me. Since the dawn of time people have lived their whole lives happily never knowing what their haplogroups were. 90% of people in the real world don't even know what a haplogroup is. Anyone of any race,ethnicity or mixture can have any type of haplogroup. So I thinks it dumb for people to discriminate against someone just because they have a certain haplogroup

My mtDNA too is rare in Tunisia but is widespread amongst Subsaharan Africans and Afro-Americans.
There are conflicting informations about the origin of R1b, according to wikipedia, it originated in West-Asia though I learnt from anthropology forums that an origin near the Ural or in Western Europe (Spain or Italy) could be likely as well.

Yes, a quarter - what else? And this would be so regardless of whether he's my grandson via my daughter or son.
