Haha ok fair enough.

For record, I only made threads about specific I2a2b coming from slavic invasion, not all I2* variants. While I2 *could* have come with the migrations of I2a2b, who really knows, we know that the original people of the Balkans as well as entire Europe were I people. I is the true haplogroup of the Europeans. There is a study that the ancient Thracians, before even neolithic invasions, had the same haplogroup as Sardinians who are a I2* something people.
im j2b2 specifically
I've never done the test, but I'm pretty sure I'd come as R1b-S28/U152.
According to this Sardinians are 42% haplogroup I (of which the majority is I2a1), the second most common haplogroup is R1b (22%) then G2a (15%). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinian_people#Y-DNA
The one found most commonly in the Balkans is I2a2b. Very close but still separated from the Sardinian one by about 10,000 years. Now when you go back to I2 (which is the ancestor of the I2a and I2b lines) we talk about something in the neighborhood of 40,000 years. That's how old my specific one is.
G2 came to Europe during the neolithic invasions, it shows highest concentration in southern Kavkaz. The only true haplogroup of the Europeans (the oldest to Europe) are the I haplogroups.
M269+ L23-
According to the thesis of Francalacci there is a low internal diversity among sequenced I2a1 samples from Sardinia and everything points at a bottlekneck that had happened relatively recent. I think that neolithic Sardinians could've been predominantly G2a and E with some token I2 from assimilated hunters-gatherers.
J2b1 - M205
I dont know mine,but because of all the halogroup stuff on this forum I remembered my mother had some blood testing done on her a while back(health related) and her paper says she is I2.
This is something else, she would need a genetic test not a blood test for her mtDNA to be read.
So to give you a brief explanation, there is a haplogroup relevant to men, the Y-haplogroup, and a haplogroup relevant to women and men, mtDNA. Brief explanation of each;
****
Y-haplogroup. There are two chromosomes for sex, X and Y. A woman has XX and a man has XY. The Y determines you being a man. When people reproduce, both the man and the woman donate a chromosome at random. Obviously a woman can only give X as she is XX but a man can give X or Y since he is XY. If he gives Y his child is a male, if he gives X, his child is a female. So the Y-chromosome is tied to your male line, the same Y-haplogroup you share with your father who shares with his father, all the way back thousands of years. It's insane to think about.
****
mtDNA.
I don't know much about this, but I suspect it comes from the egg. Obviously the woman donates an egg, and the man a sperm to become a child. Inside this egg is mtDNA and as you mature inside this egg, you inherit this mtDNA. Since only your mother provides this egg, you share her mtDNA. Since her mother provided the egg for her, likewise all the way for thousands of years. Now you will also share this mtDNA with all your siblings being brothers or sisters since your mother's egg was used for all of you. But you will not share the mtDNA of your father since he got his from his mother's egg. With Y-haplogroup you will share with your brothers again (since they got from your father) but your sisters will not have it.
Yeah thanks for the clear up Stefan,I guess I should have posted that in the mtDna thread.
R1a-Z284+ :)
Apparently the viking clade of R1a :)
R1b1a2a
Probably some R1B branch.
mostly J2 middle-eastern.
I am now U152+ S20550+
My DYS511=9 which is not very common in current U152* but it remains to be seen if there is any connection :)
G2a for me. Likely G2a3b1a2a L497. Haven't been SNP'd yet.
E1b1b1 V32.
I have no clue! My Y-DNA stops right at R1b-L51... basically there is no way to know if I'm U106, U152 or whatever ; unless I pay $$$ for FTDNA I guess...
How do I figure out which branch I am of J1e?
My y-dna branch is R1b. My paternal haplogroup is the rare R-U198.
mothers mt-dna haplgroup is U5a1d.
