"H5 seems to have a mostly Neolithic origin in Europe, although it is now rare in the Near/Middle East. H5 was probably also a minor Indo-European lineage linked to the diffusion of both R1a and R1b. Modern H5 hotspots include the southern Alps (Piedmont, Lombardy, Trentino, Slovenia, Croatia), the Latium, Wales, Romania and Latvia."
Do the Mtdna test at ftdna if you're more interested in it. I did it and it seems to be "Slavic" in general so i guess it wasn't just a migration of Slavic males to the Balkans but females/families too.

A subgroup of H that peaks in North Caucasus.
According to WeGene my maternal group is X2a.
I have no idea how reliable that estimate is.
My group is J1c3a I'm polish and I was wondering how I got it.
Once I read that it was common in polish gypsies so I thought that if 23andme gave me one dot by Balkan (Romanian) my gypsy part came from that.
But now, after recent update of 23andme, they removed my Balkan completly and gave me Scandinavian so I don't know what to think anymore.:roll eyes
