The spread of various subclades of J2 from the Middle East towards Europe

J2 originated somewhere between southeastern turkey/northern Syria/northwestern Iraq. Your Clade moved north to near /azerbaijan/Georgia/Armenia/Chechnya; (the Chechens are paternally middle easterners from extreme southern Russia bordering Georgia)

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

another interesting group is j2-m92. it is the son of m67. it moved from the heart of the caucasus (where m67 originated) and then headed west wards until reaching western turkey on the agean sea, this is where m92 originated. its highest frequencies + diversity is in western turkey. it also has highest frequency in southern italians. oddly, it is not present in greeks, a purely italo-turkish subclade of j2a. among other undeniable evidence, this solidifies a link of a purely turkey to italy migration.

its amazing to see the spread of j2a m410, as it spans from western iran and parts of the middle east to apulia and parts of italy.

@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.
