It has an interesting distribution:

I wouldn't mind that too. Either that or some subclade or R1b or G2a. The FTDNA project for my surname is mostly R1b and I1, but there's one G2a ancestor from which my family may be ultimately descended from (I'm not sure yet, at the moment I'm just guessing).

G2a has a interesting distribution, G2a in Britain could either be Neolithic, Roman or both. I'd like to be a descendant of a Roman, that sounds good to me.

I need to take a test but 23andme have put their prices up and I don't fancy just a Y-DNA test at FTDNA, I wanted the aDNA and Y-DNA with 23andme.

If I can trace my ancestry to that guy listed on FTDNA then I would know my Y-DNA haplogroup without taking the test.

I2a isn't common in the British Isles at all, it's more common in Sardinia/Balkans.

That's why i specified Disles subclade

Maciamo maps use old denomination. I2a is surely more common in the UK than in those maps.

No, that's I1. I1 is more common in northern Europe, I2 is more common in the Balkans and Sardinia.

Many I2b subclades have been renamed to I2a subclades.

I2b, while having low frequencies everywhere, appears more around north Germany (it has its own column in the link i posted above). But he was talking about I2a2.

I didn't quote his post so I don't know what he was talking about. I am talking about I2a.

The second option. A origin in the Eurasian steppe, anywhere between Central EU-East EU-Kazakhstan sounds most plausible.

The ones who voted for west Asian are mostly advocating an Anatolian or Indian urheimat?
