Hello...I also am L-664, with paternal ancestry going back to 17th Century England. I have been researching the origin and distribution of our subclade. They call it the Northwestern Europe group. I believe it was part of the Corded Ware Culture, and Michal Milewski, the R1a Project Coordinator at Family Tree DNA, told me that it may have Frisia, among other regions, as a distribution point. I have sent my raw data to YFull for analysis, and note several Scandinavian connections.

Hi! One of my ancestral line is R1a-L664-S2866(aka S2859) The known S2859+ families (as I know): Sundling (Savsjö, Sweden); Easton (West Lothian, Scotland); Fox (Dorset, England) Kynge (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany), Jacobs (USA); Lynde (USA); Simon (Gömör, old Hungary - today Slovakia). Can you tell me more about this small haplogroup? When did it formed? When did the last common ancestor lived?

Hi kuzmosi, my paternal line is L664>S2856>S2857>S2858>S2852>FTA72387>S2859>YP621
To borrow from an article written by my cousin (https://rowlandgenealogy.com/the-first-rowland-ydna-project-member-oxfordshire-to-north-carolina/):
"[My] earliest documented ancestor, in what was then “the Colonies”, was Nathan Rowland. Records show Nathan Rowland (c1720-c1800) received a grant from the Earl of Granville in 1761 for 700 acres of land in what was then Johnston County, in the middle of the current state of North Carolina. In the following years, additions to this land exceeded 2500 acres in the area that today is known as Wake County. (Wake County was formed in 1770 from parts of Johnston County, Cumberland County, and Orange County)."
There's information pointing to a recent origin in Oxfordshire (more details on that in the article above), but beyond that, I don't know much else about our haplogroup. Hope this is helpful!
