Wishfull thinking, but a recent set of Information now available is seemingly confirming a movement from a Swedish Ancestral Homeland, to the UK during the early Anglo-Saxon Migration period, of the 5th/6th centuries. The Y H2 SNP, FGC31857 and BY37188, are showing an ancestral descent from locations in Sweden, via Y H2 SK1182, through the continent, Y H2 21630, to England arriving 1700-1500 years before the present, ie living in UK from at least around the year AD 300-500.
The SNP information shows for the first time Y H2 in the UK and where it originally came from.
The SNP path clearly shows that Y H2 was in the UK. The Roman period ( FGC31857 ), 1,700,years ago could possibly relate to the early references to Germanic Roman Feoderatie, in the UK, or a presence during the very early Anglo-Saxon Migration period to the UK, supported by the other 1,500 years ago ( BY37188 ).
Food for thought.
This information is looking as though it will be correct, and will raise a lot of questions about its earlier Haplogroup identification.?
