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!

Check the Y-DNA tables on this site. They are the most up-to-date and comprehensive.
 
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.
 
No, he is talking about mtDNA not Y-DNA...
 
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.

This is the less nice thing about being a 'rare' line. I have bobbed in for a look because I am closely linked to some MtDNA I samples. I am wondering if that's a sign one of my great grandmothers was MtDNA I because it's rare so I don't understand the close links. I never get linked to samples with my actual grandmothers MtDNA J2 and X2. Have you got any matches? Sometimes looking on the MtDNA maps on FtDNA can give you clues. I figured my J2 was in Switzerland then France and most matches seem to be Ireland at Zero Steps. My cousins X2c1 is a needle in a haystack. I did read that the rare lines seem to be together, I see W as well, another rare one.
