I would rather believe the information given to me by professionals then Wikipedia.
The page cites Ken Nordtvedt who is a professional. Quite brilliant credentials; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Nordtvedt
The information you quote isn't about your specific haplogroup, which developed some 2800 years ago maximum, it's for the original I2a/I2 haplogroup, which is about 15k-17k years old. I2a/I2 originally took refuge in the Balkans during the Ice Age and moved out after the Ice Age.
Later on, subclades such as I2a2/I2a1b1 developed, but they're two separate things. Basically, I2a is the ancestor of I2a2 of which I2a2/I2a1b1 developed out of. The former (I2a) developed from haplogroup I (which developed from haplogroup IJ some 25k-30k years ago) some 15k-17k years ago. Several subclades developed out of I2a, I2a2/I2a1b1 being one of them developed for no more than 2800 years ago.
There is some confusion here due to the information being about your haplogroup but not your specific subclade.
So are you saying it is Slavic?
There might be a link between I2/or I in general with the Atlanto-Baltic component.

It is interesting that Gok4, the Swedish Megalithic TRB female belongs to the Atlantic_Baltic and Near_East components, while the two major Y-chromosome haplogroups associated with West European Neolithic sites so far are I2a1 and G2a (Treilles and Dolmen of La Pierre Fritte) whose distribution very well parallels these two components: Atlantic_Baltic/I2a1 in Europe, and Near_East/G2a in the Near East.
It is logical IMO,if haplogroup I is native European marker.
People who have been tested to be of the same sub-clade as me.

They are all my distant cousins. :D
Hehe, not surprising Vojink, Pennsylvania is Croatian center in US, and area around Krakow our supposed source before we came with barbarian invasions, also those spots in Bosnia are located on Croatian ethnic territory.
Congrats, your male ancestor was probably a Croat :D
Congrats
