What's Your Y-DNA Haplogroup?

[MandM]

I1 is a Y chromosome haplogroup associated with Nordic ethnicity and occurs at greatest frequency in Scandinavia.

Or maybe a Serbian Sami or Finn(they too have very high frequency of I1)

I got first results today (deep-clade-test not finished yet).
I was surprised to find out I was I1.
I was expecting I2a1b1 (former I2a2a in the Y2010 tree), maybe R1a or even E1b1b was more likely I thought.

I had a look in a study from 2010, acording to this I1 frequency is almost 8% in Serbia and about the same for Montenegro (fourth place haplogroup).

This could be from the goths that were settled south of Danube.

You say you also have red hair gene,might be also from some member of varangian guard (varagian guard were paid vikings fighting as an elite unit for Byzantin Empire) that settled in Montenegro and marryed a local woman.

If you are also very tall,is very likely you have ancestor a varangian guard member.
(goths were not too tall).

Maybe, who knows?

Rufosity is noticable on my maternal grandmothers side of the family, it should come from there.
Males are all less tall on my mothers side (maybe 1,80-1,85).
Like I mentioned before my uncle has pure red beard, so he could maybe pass as a Ostrogoth
However, this Y-DNA result is mine.
On my fathers side males have much stronger dinarid element and also darker and taller (1,86-1,96).
My patternal grandfather was Dinarid-Cromagnoid so he could not fit those nordic warrior types I think.
Anyway.. we can not tie Y-DNA haplogroups to phenotypes

But I think Goth invasion/movement is the most reasonable explanation for I1 people in Serbia and Montenegro.
My ancestry is from Old Herzegovina, there is a town in this area...

The present-day town of Nikšic developed around the Onogošt fortification.

The earliest remains of the Onogošt fortification date back to the 5-6th century. It was built by the East Goths. The name Anagastum derived from the gothic proper name. (I think it was the name of Goth military leader Anagast). In the Middle Ages, from Anagastum the name Onogošt derived.

dont spoil it now sami and finns are sweds in denial

[mihaitzateo]

Sami and finns have most present haplogrup N1C1.Swedes got most present I1.
However,at sami and finns 2nd present haplogrup is I1.

[Pallantides]

Sami have a bit more N1c than I1 that is true, the Norwegian-Saami are roughly 38-40% I1.

I2b1, via a paternal German lineage. This is more common in Germany than anywhere else.

R1a is Y-DNA (this one inherited by men from their fathers)
Here you've got mtDNA

Have you tested any SNP's yet?
