J1 q

[nick47]

I’m 100% Sicilian and got J1 in my 23andMe results. Where is that mainly found, where does it originate, and how common is it in Southeastern Sicily? (My family from Ragusa)

Which J1?

[Blondie]

Haplogroup J1 is semitic/afro-asiatic, maybe you have distant phoenician or carthaginian ancestry.

J1-L136

J1-L136

Interesting. Are you positive on P58?

[Spiritus]

Well, anyway, I'm trying to leave DNA forums, so I'm sorry I don't wait for your answer

If you are negative on P58 then you most probably belong to J1 PF7263 branch. PF7263 had solid presence on Sicily. In scientific paper by Boattini et al 2013 "Uniparental Markers in Italy Reveal a Sex-Biased Genetic Structure and Different Historical Strata" you have two J1 haplotypes in Ragusa and both are PF7263 (under numbers 794 and 802 in Table 2S of Supplemental material). You also have one cousin in Agrigento (number 679)

In Brishigelli et al2012 you have one similar haplotype from Trapani (DYS385-12/17). Unfortunatly, I can't access to the work (I should pay them ), but I find it through YHRD.

You also have Marbello from FTDNA who is BY38105 (one branch of PF7263) and in neighborhood you have Falcone from Calabria, I don't remember the location. He is ZS10589 (one more branch of PF7263).

PF7263 also have solid presence in whole Italy, from north to south and in the middle (Lazio, Marash, Toscana etc)

Best for you would be to test PF7263 in YSEQ to confirm if you belong to that branch, and for other informations I'm shure that good people from Apricity will help you

Bye bye
