Hi Everyone. One of my populations in particular has been puzzling. 23andme has my population at 29% Balkan, 13% Italian and 16% Eastern European (Balkan percentage increasing and both Italian, Eastern Euro decreasing with the AC update). Oddly enough, I have no known Balkan in my lineage. I...

Hello Can anyone provide any resources or information on mtDNA H1a1 with subclade M36, M197? There appears to be very little data available, at least through ISOGG. Any information would be appreciated. :thinking:

@adamo It (genealogy) is certainly a work in progress but a fun study just the same. Still researching my paternal line, thus far to the 15th-16th century (Italy), before then....that's the missing link. Thanks as always for your posts.

@zanipolo Your suggestion of H2a2a* as follows: H2a2a is a subgroup of H2... IntroductionHaplogroup H is the most common in Europe, reaching peak concentrations along the Atlantic coast. Although its origins are unclear, the haplogroup rose to prominence during the Ice Age...

@fdelangre I researched via 23andme and found the following information. It isn't an exact match but hopefully will provide additional information re: your haplogroup and subgroups....HV1 is a subgroup of R0.... IntroductionR0 is ancestral to the common European haplogroups H...

I have included a short synopsis as provided by 23andme (which calculated my raw data) re: the H haplogroup, specifically the H1 subgroup. My MtDNA is H1a1. IntroductionHaplogroup H1 originated about 13,000 years ago, not long after the end of the Ice Age. At that time much of Europe was...

@adamo thanks as always for your informative feedback. I sometimes get confused w/Balkans and Caucasus.

@LeBrok "Citizen of the World", what a thoughtful observation! I suppose we all are really!

@zanipolo Here are my results of the MDLP World-22 Oracle x Admix Results: # Population Percent 1 Pygmy 0.00 2 West-Asian 15.64 3 North-European-Mesolithic 2.99 4 Indo-Tibetan 0.00 5 Mesoamerican 0.00 6 Arctic-Amerind 0.55 7 South-America_Amerind 0.10 8 Indian 0.00 9...

@zanipolo I included data from both GEDmatch (above) and here is McDonald's admix. The Ashkenazi (Jewish) could be considered "noise" as its called. There is no family history. @nobody1 thank you for the fine explanation! This works best with a custom fit: Italian 0.4584...

@zanipolo I included my chromosome painting as provided my Dr. McDonald. Since my paternal haplogroup has been designated J2a1b*-M67, am I correct in reading that the Middle East segment(s) can actually be Caucasian, where J2 originated?

@zanipolo I had my data analyzed by both 23andme; Dr. McDonald and GEDmatch. I have included my admixture as provided by GEDmatch. I suppose what I am asking is, do the percentages on each marked chromosome bear any specific relevance? In addition, when reading a chromosome painting, is the...

How do you interpret the admixture proportion percentage on each chromosome? For example is there any significance as to which chromosome has the largest percentage? (i.e. chromosome 22 has 40% West Asian but chromosome 16 has only 6%). Does this mean one would share 40% of DNA from this...

@Yaan I am a third generation Italian American and have considered myself of Italian lineage as my paternal grandparents were from Campania and Lazio respectively. However, when you say the Y Haplogroups means nothing, you are incorrect. Although my relatives are "from" Italy the...

Hi Everyone I included a brief introduction as provided by 23andme (whom analyzed my raw data): J2a1b* is a subgroup of J2 IntroductionHaplogroup J originated in the Near East about 20,000 years ago, at a time when much of the northern hemisphere was uninhabitable due to...
