Haplogroup Distribution in Romania and Republic of Moldova

[Black Wolf]

My oldest paternal ancestor Vlach Romanian is originally from Câmpulung, Suceava county and was buried in Volovăț

I am Y-DNA I2 (no specific clade). I see 14% stragglers survived. How many samples determined those statistic?

Which company did you test with?

[Rethel]

I pulled together all the sources that I could find and came up with about 1200 regional samples.

Here are the results on regional level:

Haplogroup	Oltenia	Muntenia	Dobrogea	Wallachia (Oltenia,Muntenia and Dobrogea)	Transylvania	Moldavia	Republic of Moldova

Interesitng, that:
Vallachia and romanian Moldavia have 30% R1,
but
Siebenburgen and free Moldavia have 40% R1.

I'm personally interested in the discrepancy for J2 between Republic of Moldova and Romania's regions. E-V13 seems to be following the trend, but J2 must be linked to some movement of people that didn't settle as prominently here. Are those Aromanians/Vlachs perhaps? J2 is at high levels among them.

What about mtdna distribution?

Maybe one day there will be a thread on it too.

I actually have this from some time ago, but it contains only academic samples.
