Hello,
My Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup is I1. I have tested positive for the SNP P109. I am originally from the Northwest Caucasus, from the Circassian sub-branch of Kebertei (Cabardians) despite I have never lived in Russia. I know that 10% to 30% of Circassians can be I1 and I2, but I have no information about the common subclades amongst them.
However, Circassians are predominantly G2a (60 to 80%). In addition to I, they belong to R1a (up to 20%), R1b (up to 10%), J2 (up to 5%) lineages. As to my mitochondrial DNA haplogroup, it's H2a1 which is one of the most common subclades for Circassian people.
I would really appreciate if you could help me find out more about Y-DNA I-P109 and its origin.
Thank you
