I did a 23andme test last year, and they told me (if I recall correctly) that my paternal haplogroup was R1b1b2a. I did a bit of research on it and found this page (geni.com/projects/R-U106-Y-DNA/12031), where it says:
"R1b1b2a1a (S21+), previously known as R1b1b2a"
So I assumed that my haplogroup was R-U106/S21 (which was pretty cool, because I live in an area in Italy that was settled by the Lombards).
I also shared my data with another guy with my last name, and we had the same haplogroup.
Now that 23andme has been updated, they told me I'm R-M412, which is a parent branch of R-U106 if I'm not mistaken; however, the guy with whom I shared my data is now considered an R-L23 by 23andme (parent branch of M412).
So is it possible that I'm U106 but I just come out as an M412 on 23andme? Note that U106/S21 is not present on the tree they provide on their site (although M405 is and I've read that might be the same thing).
Thanks for your help!
