What's Your Y-DNA Haplogroup?

[Sikeliot]

Paternally Italian BUT my haplogroup is J1. I don't know the sub-clade. Most likely have Jewish ancestors. I don't know how else J1 would end up in Central Italy.

The Neolithic, perhaps. But also, some of the North Africans in Sicily were expelled to other parts of Italy (along the Adriatic coast mostly) and some small towns have elevated amounts of J1 today.. I think one town in Apulia and another in Abruzzo.

North Africans? That seems like a shot in the dark to me. I scored positive for the "Choen Model" haplotype on ftDNA apparently.

North African Jews? I scored positive for the "Choen Model" haplotype on ftDNA apparently.

I wasn't thinking J1 was common amongst Jews. I couldn't say.

J1 = Caucasian, Mesopotamian, Semitic (Arabic/Jewish)

Amongst Ashkenazim Jews, it says J1 is 19%. For Sephardics it's 22%.

Wouldn't the North Africans expelled from Sicily have haplogroup E?

J1 is native to most of the Middle East and North Africa and is found in lower frequencies in Europe, probably from the Neolithic and Roman Empire. There are certain subclades associated with certain groups such as L147.1 among the Cohen clan (Cohen is a Jewish surname), but J1 is NOT exclusive to Jews.
If you haplogroup is J1, your paternal ancestry Italian and your surname is Italian then chances are that you basically are just of Italian ancestry. Don't try to be something you're not. Read through the Eupedia on J1 in full and then form an opinion.

Turned out to be R1a-Z280+, CTS 1211+, CTS3402+ and negative to the other SNP's downstream of CTS3402. Highest density pockets around the Carpathian, clustering by markers mostly to the Hungarians, Slovaks and Russians.

I am J2a4b-M67, my ancestors are East Slavs.

I am 247141. Me and my closest genetic relatives. What do you think about that? Those are strange results.

My direct male ancestors, as I recently was informed, are from East Ukraine. Brewer does not know exactly where their ancestor is, may be from England.
The Anonchuk ancestors are from West Ukrain, from Galitia, Roman Catolics.
