So, my Y-DNA is very, very different from hg. R1a1a-Z282 and hg. R1a1a-Z93/Z94.

But this paragroup is known now as R1a2 (R-YP4141). It then has three branches R1a2a (R-YP5018) and R1a2b (R-YP4132) and R1a2c (R-B111)

I want to know now whether I am in R1a2a, R1a2b or R1a2c branch or maybe something else, lol.

Btw, they found a sample of an ancient Cimmerian with Y-DNA hg. R1a2c-B111. It might be possible that there are some links between my paternal haplogroup and the haplogroup of the ancient Cimmerians, but i don't know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimmerians

3rd most intense hotspot in Acadia, I guess that's where mine comes from? No hotspot in Acadiana though:

Kept trying to upload the actual photograph, but the post kept running into difficulties for some reason..but hotspots were basically part of the Levant, a little in southeastern Europe, and some in east-central Europe.
