First results I got from Geno project was e-35 and a very brief history of were it started some 100,000 years ago like all homo sapiens today irrelevant of their haplotype. I did not know much about Dna and had to read through literature but preferred to stick to more scientific based sites as the forums were often a war zone of insults and politically based rather then the joy of knowing history. I also found out I could have deeper tests done by Ftdna to specify to which group I belonged from the many subclades of e-35 which in itself is very generic and vague in the information you get. Thats when I was confirmed E-V13 and continued my research about it. Recently I recieved a certificat that I am E-L542, but no one gave me satisfactory explanation of what that really means.
I was told by the project leader on ftdna that now I can also have further tests to find out from which area in Europe our line comes from. As this clade is spread all over Europe (in much smaller percentages) besides from the Albanian / kosovar / Greek hotspots.
If it interest you I also tried to make an amalgamation with my Surname history, which some Italian sites say its of Germanic origin, the SNP map on FTdna puts us in a clusters in North Switzerland, South Germany and South England and strangely enough on the Scottish border with England. I am skeptical with these maps tho as they rely on the amount of people that actually test in a particular region. That is not uniform around Europe. If not mistaken the French are the least interested. Our surname history has arrived to Malta during the Hofenstaufen period (Monarcs were Germans married to the previous Norman rulers) and was given land tenures around the Island and payed tribute to the Hofenstaufen (Swabian) King of Sicily. The only exact match we go was from a person from Baden Baden in South Germany. I hope I did not bore you
Is it an export from the Balkans (Trachean) with Roman troops? (as steven bird suggests) a neolithic settlement. No one really knows as yet
