What's Your Y-DNA Haplogroup?

My father's ydna line is I2b1

I am R1b1a2 (tested through my brother), I was kinda hoping for something more exotic and rare like my mum's which is I.

After all the Y-DNA testing upgrades done over the years got some more specifics fer me own. This lineage for meself originated in Hatfield, South Yorkshire and later spread into Stainforth then Whitgift afore Blacktoft.

I am R1b1a2a1a1b, P312+
DF27 -DF19 -U152 -L21 -L238 -. I have a test in progress for L459 to see if it may actually be slightly older on the tree than L21. My closest Y-STR match 31 of 37 markers is Welsh in origin.

Right now there are only 5 other known R1b1a2a1a1b people that are this "non-mutated" within R-P312 (we called the "True P312"), so six of us in all (all other "R1b1a2a1a1b" have other non-published SNPs they still need to test for as it stands, only meself and one other are testing for L459 right now, the other feller is also testing for Z245 as part of the more grand experiment) and we have a similar STR pattern between us that is hypothesized as being indicative of an old Brythonic lineage between Strathclyde, Wales, and Cumbria (now to add South Yorkshire because of my own lineage to be added into this group).

When I was 18 I had a YDNA hg test done by FTDNA. Way out o' left field came E1b1a. I had absolutely no matches in any African nation, though. None with any Africans in western countries, either. Five English matches, four French matches and one Spanish match. Still kind o' "meh" about it.

That is fascinating. I may look into further testing of SNPs as I have the standard minimum at present. I'm also looking forward to getting the raw data to run an admix. Dad is from Scotland but rumoured to have a fair bit of Norwegian. Mum's was more of a mystery, from Scotland but Haplogroup I which was a it surprise. I am only a novice at this but I am finding it fascinating.
