Are you happy with your haplogroups?

I feel indifferent about mine.

it shouldn't mean much since it is just a one ancestor out of other thousands.. Anyway, It is native to the region and occurs highest on my nation in the region so it's cool..

To be honest, i found my Y haplogroup a bit boring when i discovered it for the first time, but when i found out info about my subclade(thanks to Jackson) is it pretty awesome.

Btw, i was talking about my Y-DNA since i thought this thread was only about it. As for my mt-dna, i didn't get the most common H, and i got a more random one that is not very specific to my nation:

Still i found it interesting and tried to learn more about it.

I was shocked at first to see I was from haplogroup E (especially seeing the 23andme distribution map), but then I found out what my haplogroup (Y-DNA) actually means, i.e. the specific E-V13 which is Neolithic and connected with early Greek expansion in southeast Europe. It brings all sorts of possibilities and is interesting. So ... proud Trojan/Thracian here

As for my mtDNA, H1b, it seems to be common in Northern Europe so I was pleased from the start with it.

Happy with my MtDNA as it's similar to Otzi.

Ydna is like a Clan name to be proud of.. & isn't a Norse or Anglo invader.

Am happy.

Ah yes, an invader haplogroup would be disapointing to me too. A Roman, Moor or Germanic haplogroup.
Luckily mine is native and older than those people

Invader haplogroup!

Makes it sound like an invader species of plant which has taken over the habitat of indigenous flora.

As for invader/native ... my haplogroup is certainly an invader one ... it is very rare where my paternal family comes from. It's said to be from Roman soldiers of Balkan origin (likely Thracian) who settled in the area of Germania Inferior.

First reaction was hmm interesting..I'm the outlier. Also prob got a bunch of stomfront wannabe nutzis (like Kastrioti) jealous of my northern Haplogroups.
