G2a2b2a ydna

[Polischuk]

Ive got G2a2b2a ydna, L497 one(dont know any further). On my dads side we have family legend that paternal ancestry is from Germany, but since family faced repressions in the USSR cant trace it with documents. Is it possible that its southern german ancestry I've got the ydna from?

G2a-L497 peaks around the Alps and is pretty rare in Russia AFAIK, so it is quite possible.

Yes, almost absent in ethnic russians. Tho its only thing left from that ancestry. Autosomal tests show that im genetically between western Russia Northern ukraine n southwest russia. Ecerything similar to western/southwestern russians, but in eurogenes k13 i score 11 west med and 4.5 east med and almost 7 west asia, and less baltic. "Pure" russians score less med. In k15 i score almost 8% west med

Hi,
I've seen G2a in Russians. Rare but a few people can be found, not impossible. Can you show me your autosomal results and calculators? I will tell you how atypical you are 'cause no one else has seen as many samples as I have

[Alenka]

It's possible, but you'd probably have to do a more detailed Y-DNA test to know for sure.

Absolutely possible. G-L479 is a Celtic marker peaking around Switzerland. It's very un Russian like and could point towards southern German paternal origins. I assume most of G in Russia is of Caucacus type (like in Georgia).
But this subclade you have is coming from western-central Europe.

I assume most of G in Russia is of Caucasus type (like in Georgia).

Surprisingly, most seem to be a distant outreach from the Alps.

Thanks. Yea, most Gs here are g2a1(in caucasus, not ethnic russians tho), g2a2b2a is very rare, L497 even less

I'm still waiting for you to post your autosomal results, buddy. Why not do that? Do you dislike me or what?

[Polischuk]

Which calculators? My results r typical, but for southern groups. Last 4 genetations ancestry is from Moscow(northwest n historical center), Kaluga, Tver region, Ukraine n Polesie and ppssible Petersburg (not sure real origins only belorusian-polish surname but russian identity). In K13 I don't score much Atlantic (only ~24) which would show more western shifted ancestry
K13
Baltic 47.6
2 North_Atlantic 24
3 West_Med 11
4 West_Asian 7.55
5 East_Med 4.06
6 Siberian 2.49
7 South_Asian 2.6
