Thank you for sharing this and the other background info! It would be interesting to have South and Central Asia J2 included (Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, etc.) since these countries have fairly high percentages and diversity. However for example in India with the ca. 1/6 of the World...

Sorry I can't update this regularly. I found an interesting story about surname Colom(bo) - look at page 22: Surname and Y chromosome in Southern Europe: a case study with Colom/Colombo[PDF] von unideb.hu F Calafell, LJ Martínez-González, E Martínez-Espín… - 2011 - ganymedes.lib.unideb.hu

... Very good discussion here and also in the Dienekes Blog. Much better then every "Mass Media flattened Science" publication. I'm interested if and how this paper changes distribution in the Y-DNA G Map.

G2a is important in Tyrol, but not dominant AFAIK The Norici are a key to understand DNA development in Austria. It is not clear if they descended mainly from western Celts. It is not clear what kind of language Raeti (later romanized into Romansh, Ladin, Friuli) was. It had certainly (by...

@Yaan: Maciamo didn't update his maps in the last months. I guess the scientific papers (sources) don't give enough information about J2-subgroups and more fine details. If you have time and interest try to create your own maps like sparkey did for I2c. Surely you will learn much more about your HG.

Thank you very much for this useful list/links and thread; also Knovas for his additions.

Thank you for this collection. I think they are based mainly on telephone book entries. Here one more for Italy (indettaglio.it). I know one very interesting example based on public records: South Tyrol - Italy (Territoriale Verteilung Ihres Nachnamens - Melderegister 2010)

Thank you for reminding the link to the papers. Here are 3 more (2 german, 1 italian); the accuracy is not always the best: Western Germany (Freiburg i Br., Mainz, Münster), added 19/10/2011 Wirsching 2009 Vertiefte Analyse der Y-chromosomalen Linie R1b* in westdeutschen Populationen (Further...

I have searched a little to find a thread, where tables of Y-DNA-Haplogroup-frequency in Europe are collected (especially of non-english papers). I found none and so I try to begin one here. Please add Place, post Date, Author/s (Year) Title and possibly an image of the table: Portugal/Iberia...

Interesting. I guess France, Italy and also Germany and Spain have not reached that size by far. I would also add Switzerland and Austria as important alpine refugiums, the Balkan as important old melting pot and Hungary/Czechia/Slovakia as indicators of some immigration. Also the...

I would like to know if the last J2-map update was in Dec. 2010?

I would be much easier if all womens have no make-up and natural hair color, but it would be not so interesting to guess.

2 looks mediterranean (Albany?), 1 and 5 like a balcanic admixture, 3 4 6 with visible slavic influence, could 4 have had ancestors outside balcanic/slavic regions?

EDIT: They are all from south-eastern Switzerland (Graubünden, Rumantsch/Raetic region); so Goga was partially right, as they should be only in part Germanic. For the rest they should have more mountain-caucasus heritage (old Raetians, old goat and cattle people) and they also for me reassemble...

I think the last one ist the most beautiful. ;-) Here is a new round of womens all of the same place of the searched country: South Germany Slovenia Austria Croatia Switzerland North Italy Bosnia and Herzegovina Albania

Thats indeed a good one! Maybe the Dutch artists had the same pic?!? ;-)

I was many times in Nort Italy, also in France, Croatia, Sweden and Russia. I can't give you a definite reason, but I try which contries I would exclude: a) Scandinavia: women have different facial feature, maybe more round? And no mediterranean element. Pretty sure here. b) Italy: women have...

Very hard. The first one is before a map with Greece, Balkan, Italy. So I think also of Balkans, because I guess they are not Italians. Could also be Turkey and immigrated Israelis tough. The only one I would cancel as possibility of the list is Scandinavia.

Found some more, where one can understand the path of Maciamo, in the Wa-pedia Japan Forum from Dec. 2005: @Maciamo: Keep up the great work here. Try to constructively interact with other DNA-insiders to improve your work. Especially with those belonging not to your haplogroup or your culture...
