I am new to genetic studies and would like your help understanding how to interpret haplogroups practically speaking as well as this specific haplogroup.
I am 100% European, and my mtdna is X2. This seems to be really rare among Europeans, and the only group that has any significant population at all with this mtdna is the Druze people. What does this mean? I read 23%me's little blurb on it but I would like more.
And it's not just this, the whole haplogroup is actually pretty weird. For example, X2a is found in "native americans" of North America, yet it is believed to have originated in the Near East. I have the general conception that ancient Near Eastern whites of some form were traveling all around the world, and some stayed in the Americas and formed the little spoken of white tribes of "native america", who basically just blended in and assimilated with the colonizers, BUT not before hundreds of years of contributing to the native gene pool as well. Also, there are ancient Welsh and Hebrew inscriptions found it America. I know it is a rather polemic subject, but it's heavily related, so I'm throwing it into the pot.
Does any body have any ideas?
Is anyone else here X2 mtdna and not Druze?
What are potentially related questions that you have regarding haplogroups?

No idea, I'm X2b4 as far as I can tell mine came from a French colonial woman to Canada. I do have minor Amerindian ancestry, but in the case of X2b4 that isn't the origin. Haplogroup X is rather rare, so study on it's distributions is limited.

My dad is X2-a2*, not Druze.
On YFULL it looks like there's a BA sample from Halay, Turkey.
