Are you happy with your haplogroups?

R-L21>DF63 confirmed Breton, not unexpected or anything. Who wouldn't be proud of such a thing, unless it revealed you were unexpectedly admixed i.e: wog.

23andme were only able to tell me that I'm H, which doesn't really narrow things down very much. jameslick.com suggested I might be H17 of some type; 23andme doesn't seem to assign people to this group. It seems quite rare so I can't find much out about it. Still, not unhappy. I've ordered tests for my parents and my maternal uncle so I'm looking forward to finding out the y-dna and mtdna on each side.

I know your surname & it's very English sounding. My bet would be a Saxon I1 y-dna type

Ok, your bet's recorded :p. My dad's side is more Germanic I expect, though my guess for my y-dna on my mum's side is also I1. They're Irish, but the name's not; I think the direct male line on that side goes back to northern England.

I liked it at first cause it's rare. I didn't want to be a generic like H. But I haven't met another X2f. None of my 800 "relatives" on 23andme are X2f either. I also can't find a lot of info or any info on X2f

I am even more so happy with my y-dna, now that they are offering SNPs that even further define and refine the haplogroup and its subclade.

I don't know what my Y-DNA Hg is but I hope I don't have one of those accursed Afro-Asiatic Y-DNA. They way I see it is I have 50% chance of getting I2a as my Y-DNA being of Slovene and Serbocroat ancestry.

I don't know them.I'll probably never do a test either.Im a looker and my muscles grow good,that's all that I care about myself physically.

What does it change if you are happy or not with your haplogroups ?

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.
