Are you happy with your haplogroups?

im not too happy with my ydna haplogroup cause i find it very boring
i like my mtdna cause i guess its rare and cool

Well, at first I was rather neutral since I wasn't very knowledgable about haplogroups and mine aren't very common, so I hadn't heard about them. But after researching what is available (there isn't that much research on them), I'm rather happy. I still don't know much about my mtDNA, but my Y-DNA is very cool. :cool:

The distribution of J2b2 in Anatolia is linked to Phrygian Settlements. My paternal line is from Sangarius, modern-day Sakarya, it's where the home of the Phrygians was located. So assuming my paternal line has indeed arrived with the Phrygians, they have been in Sakarya for 2700-3200 years.

I think for YDNA r1b.... Like most Spaniards.
My mtDNA is very common though.

23&me - general idea about Y-DNA & mtDNA, less money;
FTDNA - with sub-Haplogroups/clasters complete for Y-DNA and mtDNA, more money.

Thank you for your recommendation. I will investigate this possibility.

At FTDNA you can to participate in many projects (Y-DNA, mtDNA, others like" Lituania Propria", "Polish", etc for me.)
My recomendation to everyone: Y-DNA at least for 67 markers (111-max); mtDNA - mtFullSequence, no less (less will be so general result).
Good luck!

They are both common among my people and they greatly represents where I hail from (very far up north in the Nordic countries). So yes :)

I was shocked to get an interesting combination for an Englishman. Both my Lines, Paternal and Maternal are English as far back as I can go on records - Late 1700's, lol.. So too see R1a and W1g gave me a shock, the R1a is expected to be Norse but 67 markers will define that, but the W1g, stumped!

I am happy and feel proud to have middle eastern ancestry.

Yes, I'm happy with my Haplogroups. my first reaction when I first discover what haplogroups I was a bit surprised. but I also was pleased. So Yes I'm happy/proud.
