Are you happy with your haplogroups?

[7eleven]

yeah R1b and V7a is North European so its fine with me

[Musso]

EDIT: V13 G > C E1b1b1a2, so indeed V13 is E1b1b1a2...

Anybody can shed more light on this haplogroup?

[Musso]

I am reading this:

E1b1b1a2. V13
E1b1b1a2 (V13) is highest in the Balkan Peninsula (Albania 32%, Greece 18-45%) and diminishes from here northward. It overlaps with the previously identified E1b1b1a M78 a cluster, and makes up the majority of E chromosome types in Europe. This cluster was found primarily in Europe and to a lesser extent the Near East (e.g. 5% Turkey). It is rarely found outside of Europe.
For example, the most prevalent E subclade in Crete was defined as the E1b1b1a M78 a cluster. It is quite likely that Greece was the source of this subclade on Crete and that this subclade is common overall in the Aegean region. The estimates for the TMRCA of this subclade are 9-11kya outside of Europe (i.e. Near East) and 4-5kya in Europe. The expansion time for the E1b1b1a2 (V13) subclade in Greece is estimated around 4-9kya, somewhat preceding the estimate for the origin of this subclade, which is due to the use of different mutation rate models. The estimate for expansion on Crete is 3kya, which coincides with an influx of Mycenaean culture from the Greek mainland during the end of the Bronze Age. The E1b1b1a2 (V13) most closely follows the route proposed for Y-chromosome haplogroup J-M12 that was part of the late Neolithic introduction of farming and agriculture to Europe and the advances of the ensuing Bronze Age.

Does this necessarily mean that I have some connection to Greeks and or Albanians?

Not necessarily, E-V13 can be found in almost all Europe and middle east. And why shouldn't you be proud of it? It's the haplogroup of people like the Wright Brothers and Caravaggio.

...and Hitler :/

...and Hitler :/

Hitler was E1b1, but we don't know if he was E-V13

[Musso]

Hitler was E1b1, but we don't know if he was E-V13

Ah okay.

Seems E-V13 is well represented in Kosovo however

[Thrax]

This doesn't mean that whoever is E-V13 is associated with Kosovo though. There are for example many more greek, romanian and bulgarian men who are E-V13 than kosovar men in absolute number.

True, in all E-V13 seems to be dominated in the Balkans and general South-Eastern Europe. It seems not the be a "Germanic" or "Celtic" Haplogroup.

I'm E1b1b1a. I'm just disappointed in the lack of information about it in Europe is all.
