My grandfather took a FTDNA test a couple of years back and sent me some info on his haplogroup and he got i1-M227 .
i did some research on it and its very interesting since its not found in scandinavia what so ever , and occurs at very low frequencies around continental europe meaning this is from pre-germanic migrations.
Could this be from a population that didnt go north into Scandinavia with the others when the glacial sheets retreated ?
Here is a post from Eupedia - I1a1 has never been reported in Scandnavia it only exists in Urlaic and Slavic speakers in eastern Europe, Baltics, Poland, Beluras, Switzerland, France,southwest England, and Turkey at about 1%.
The ancestor where i get my surname and haplogroup from was born in switzerland .
