There are hundreds of public surname projects in FTDNA that have similar, but not identical STR signatures. The ones who have a closer MRCA have more similar haplotypes and the ones with older MRCA have less similar haplotypes in common. This is common sense. If you think that having an...

It's even more than that - the North Bashkirs that turned up U152+ all had the same exact haplotype, meaning they were the result of a recent founder effect.

If you can find a quote where I (Richard Rocca) favor an Italian origin for U152, I'll send $10 to your Paypal account.

Sorry, I did not make myself clear. I meant the U152 breakdown by province within Wallonia.

Maciamo, thanks again for posting these numbers. Do you have the U152 breakdown of the 17.6% in Wallonia?

Guys, if you post the U152 map, that is fine with me, but you have to read what the associated article says and why it was changed. The new updated version is the correct one.

Maciamo, any update on the Brabant project data, especially the above provinces? Also, what data will be available for purchase once the project is complete? Thanks.

Maciamo, excellent map. May I point out that the higher J2 percentages in Italy seem to mirror the areas of the Italic tribes, including the Romans, Brutti, Siculi, and the north-eastern Veneti. Also, the Romans claimed to be descendants of Troy - another high % area on your map.

Maciamo, I was wondering if any more Wallonia results have come in and if so, if there is still a strong U152 showing in Namur and Liège.

Catchabus, thanks. I was able to see it when the site was up last night.

I am trying to write to my family members in Italy regarding R1b1b2 haplogroup U152. Is there a website or document written in Italian that I can direct them to? The only one I've been able to find is the wiki article titled "Storia genetica dell'Italia", but it is very vague, even on R1b.
