I recently had my mtDNA tested and it came back with haplogroup I2. I am having trouble finding information. Any information would be appreciated. Thank You!
From Eupedia :
Haplogroup I has a similar distribution to haplogroup W, ranging from Europe to Pakistan and North-West India, with a characteristic presence in Pontic steppes and around the Caspian Sea. Its origin very probably lies in the Proto-Indo-European cultures (mtDNA mirror of R1a and R1b). Haplogroup I is nearly absent in parts of Europe from distant from the Pontic-Caspian steppes (Iberia, South-West France, Ireland) and strongest in Norway, southern Finland, Ukraine, Greece and western Anatolia.
This should be in the Y-DNA forum.
Welcome doddla.
No, he is talking about mtDNA not Y-DNA...
wops!I didn't sleep very well last night.

I thought that the haplogroup I is very numerous in the ancient Germanic
areas such as South-Sweden, Denmark and north Germany. Not in
Greece or Ukraine.
The highest frequencies of I (mt-DNA) are found in the N. Caucasus and Wales (6%) followed by Scotland (5%), Iceland and Latvia (4.5%).
Another I2 (mtDNA) here. Any sources for further info?
According to my mtDNA Full Sequence test (FTDNA), I belong to mtDNA haplogroup I2 in a yet determined subclade. Haplogroup I is sometimes known as "Iris." Any information welcome.
haplogroup I2 is "Balkan" ex Yugoslavia dat gen has most in Dalmata and Bosnian Croats 70%. People with this genome are tall people.
