What's Your Y-DNA Haplogroup?

Ive tested positive for R1b-U106, L48 and Z8

My paternal line and my only none Dutch line is Z8. Which is supposedly a pretty good indicator of West Germanic invaders, be them Saxons/Jutes/Frisians/Angles and possibly Belgae. Theres always a possible Viking or Norman connection. Interesting that the most likely point of origin is or near by where the rest of my family lives or hails from.

The past is fantastic within the UK and out of it also. I worry about the future though. We need to get more philosophical in Education again, in Scotland.. Another thing I noticed today in the news. Another foreign company being awarded a contract in England. Whilst the countryside becomes fucked through drilling. A good profit will go to the French. Make it Public or help build up a company in the UK.

The countryside won't be fucked. Building wind turbines all over the place has already done that. A few wells dotted around isn't nearly on the same scale.

I'm also in the L48 club, Hevo is the other member. We're not so common. :D L48 is mostly found among Germanics and is derived from U106 which reaches its peak in the Low countries, Western Germany and England and is basically Germanic itself and is thought to originate in Lower Saxony.

It would be probably either a Saxon/Frisii/Angle or a Jute.

Yeah a lot of the incomers in East Anglia and Kent seem to have been Frisians, and probably some in other areas too i guess.

L48 for the win boys!!

Hevo, or Albion, whats your guys terminal SNP? Get on that private message bro's!

I expected I1, considering my north german ancestry. The only thing that surprised me was the subclade assignement. I anticipated a typical northern continental branch but I turned out as a scandinavian (Ultra Norse) I1. Either it's the Vikings fault or some swedish soldiers had their "fun" in the 30yrs war.

R1b1b2a1, rare and strange.

You mean R1b-L23? Cause using ISOGG and YCC nomenclature is misleading, they constantly change it
