Yeah, of course.
There is a high frequency of L21 among NW Iberians and U6b1 is characteristic of Canarians. Those are the largest parts of me, ancestrally speaking, so my haplogroups are perfectly representative in all senses ;).

I didn't know about haplogroups when I got my test, beyond R1b being most common in Western Europe. So when I got it I didn't have much of an opinion. In retrospect though it was never in doubt that I'd be R1b (L21/M222). Pleased, not proud. As for the mtDNA, it meant nothing originally but was very pleased when I learned of its' antiquity in Britain (Neolithic).
Yes, I'm totally fine with my lineage (I learned the subclade last month), very Indo-European :cool:
I'm very pleased with my paternal Y-DNA. Dad belongs to most typical Croatian haplogroup (I2>PH908) and his further subclade A5913 is very interesting, it's mostly shared with East Slavs and not West Slavs thus indicates eastern European rather than central Euro migration origin.
well, both friends who tested with me ten years ago got R1a1a something, while I got the haplogroup of the Rothschilds xD J2-L210
I was at first puzzled with my paternal haplogroup (originally from SW Spain), since it's not common in Spain (more in Balkans and Italy; it looks it originally came from Armenia, crossed the Caucasus, migrated to Europe with the Indo-Europeans and once in the Balkans it exploded and became quite prolific). Years later a man who runs a project on the haplogroup wrote to me because he wanted to test me, since he thought I could belong to a lineage that came to Iberia during the Roman times. It turned out to be true: my clade has been found in central Italy since the Iron Age (it's in both ancient Etruscan and Roman remains and in men living there nowadays), and it came to Western Iberia where it became a prolific lineage (ie. it probably reached social prominence for some time). Interestingly, the closest clade to us Iberians is not in Italy, but in England. If anybody wants to know about the project, you can check https://phylogeographer.com/.
On the other side, my maternal haplogroup (originally from Central Spain) has been the most common in my country and in Europe since it arrived during the Neolithic, and it looks that I belong to a clade that is 100% Iberian. As a curiosity, my Finnish wife also belongs to my haplogroup, despite being born on the opposite corner of Europe.
very suspicious haplo, that one is more Galician ---> https://indo-european.eu/wp-content/...z195-basal.pngQuote:

Yes, Indigenous European. Not certain about my X as it is more infrequent, but it's not as important.
My Y DNA haplogroup (R1b --> S1194 --> BY195505 (today final subclade at YFull after a WGS)) was a little bit disappointing at a first glance, as I could not connect to anything closer. I feel like on a lonely island and the TMRCA with the closest match is 2300 ybp. S1194, the somewhat thicker branch, is distributed exclusively in NW Europe with a gravity point in the Netherlands and it does predate the existence of Germanics by abt. 1000 years even and can be thought to be an older IE thing that is not connected to a certain later IE language group, at least such a context can not be determined with confidence today. But I can fully indentify with it from it's whole context and I'm fine with that.Quote:

Actually Villabruna1 (14,000 ybp), the guide fossil for WGH, happens to have had R1b-L754 (which is upstream of mine and could not be narrowed down more) and U5b2b. So essentially the same combination as me. It can not be excluded that this is an ancestral haplogroup both for my Y DNA and for my mt DNA. This I do feel comfortable with. :)
I am Irish.Quote:
