A more recent study about the Arbereshe in Italy has published the haplogroups for 223 Albanians, splitting them between Tosks and Ghegs (see Supplementary table 4) https://www.nature.com/articles/ejhg2015138#s1 They have found 4/223 samples haplogroup F, which is probably the Gypsy H1a, as it...

Yes, the gatekeepers of the Kaaba were proven to be from the Indian subbranch of R1a - Z93/L657. I think they must be here: https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-Y2594/ It is common also on the Arabian peninsular, but which way was the migration, I can't say.

Although born in Palestine, his parents were Ukrainian Jews - Ashkenazi.

Then he probably belongs to the well known Levite branch R1a-Z93/Y2619 , which was recently proven to originate from the Middle East. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-14761-7

There is a newer and deeper study about European Roma - "Origins, admixture and founder lineages in European Roma". https://www.nature.com/articles/ejhg2015201 I have mentioned in another thread one of the founding lineages among them was I1-P259. This SNP was discovered early, but later...

I haven't followed the discussions about I1 here, but on Eupedia haplogroups site it is claimed the earliest I1 found in Europe is from Neolithic Hungary. However I just read on the Genetiker's blog he has analysed a few Mesolithic samples from Sweden and one of them was I-M253. So this Swedish...

From what I see from his autosomal admixture, there is no Balkan or East European ancestry. However it is possible he has some Crypto Jew Sephardic connection. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4313780/

Which branches under V13 are negative? I think Geno 2.0 tests only a few common among Westerners like L17 and L241. The new V13 tree is already quite complicated as you may see here: https://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_E1b1b_Y-DNA.shtml#V13

Yes, this should be considered a subbranch of H1, but why they use the back mutation, and not the normal alphanumeric labelling, I am not sure. The position 16189 is rather unstable, and the back mutation T16189C and also the transition C16189A happen in many other haplogroups.

I think it is connected to the Reconstructed Sapiens Reference Sequence (RSRS). FamilyTreeDNA already provides the results using RSRS , while most scientists still use the Cambridge Reference sequence(CRS). According to RSRS there is a mutation C16189T relative to the reference, which is very...

I don't know how it is with FullGenome, but with YFULL you have the option to see the results for each SNP, so don't need to look directly into your .bam file. With FTDNA Big Y sometimes a few meaningful SNPs may not be read at all or are too ambiguous (different readings), If the SNP is tested...

What about your positive L388 result, how does it show on your Full genome file. If positive, you may split some branch and form a new one.

There are quite a few Bulgarians proven R1a-YP263 and also all but one of the Bulgarian M458 fall under L1029. It looks like Bulgarians R1a-YP263 are with Macedonian connection, so Albanians must be from the same subbranch. The TMRCA of this branch is only 1750y, so Slavic origin is likely.

Unfortunately we don't have an official breakdown of haplogroup I1, my estimates are from FTDNA and some other testing. For now nobody under Z63 has done a deeper SNP test, but I suppose they must be from the popular branches as they have matches at 37 markers. Sometimes Bulgarians even with the...

Officially I1 is around 4% among Bulgarians. It seems the most common branches are under Z58, or the old Anglo-Saxon assignment. They are common also among Bulgarian Turks. However we have many P109 and Z63, too. According to me the P109 may have some North Western Bulgarian connection, while...

I know that in Poreklo only those who have something in the field SNP with + are actually tested for it. None of those under M227 seems to be tested , so you can't be sure they are under this branch.

As far as I can see the M227 in the Serbian project are only predicted, and due to the small amount of tested markers could be some other branch as I1 is prone to homoplasmy. For example, there is a 12 markers Ivanovich in the Serbian project under M227, who is an exact match to the Bulgarian...

Interesting, I1-M227 seems very rare on the Balkans, I know only of one Romanian on 23andMe. It looks spread more in Eastern and Central Europe than in Scandinavia. Probably the Viking theory is coming from several I1-M227 found in the Middle east.

Sorry, i mistyped it, look for BY5400 on the FTDNA tree.

According to the Chuvashia DNA project, the V13 there obviously has a founder effect as their haplotypes are very close to each other. It is already known the subbranch and it is E-BY400, which is under the big branch Z5018->S2979. The Chuvash completely lack either basal V13 branches or great...
