FamilyTreeDNA gave me my Autosomal DNA results and Y37 Y-DNA results. They are still analyzing the data on the Big Y-700 which results I expect to get within a few weeks. The results should show me a later subclade of haplogroup G.
My latest known haplogroup with the Y37 results is G-Z1900. It was formed around 6500 years ago, 4500 BCE, Stone Age Europe.
G-Z1900's paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor G2a2b2a1a1b1-Z1815/CTS9737, formed around 4800 BCE, archaeolgical find of Baden culture in Budapest, Hungary 3300-2850 BCE and Stockholm, Sweden ca 955 CE.
My Autosomal DNA results show me that my origins are 51% Scandinavia, 19% Central Europe(France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria), 16% Ireland, 5% Sardinia, 5% Basque, 4% Greece & Balkans.
My Ancient European Origins results show me that I carry 48% Farmer, 41% Hunter-Gatherer and 11% Metal Age Invader autosomal DNA.
I have a French mother and a Dutch father.
I did test my parents on their Autosomal DNA.
My father is of Scandinavian ethnicity and his parents have their roots in the north of the Netherlands(Friesland/Groningen/Drenthe).
My mother is of Central Europe, Ireland, Sardinia, Basque, Greece & Balkans ethnicity and her parents have their roots in different directions of France.
My direct paternal lineage goes back to a man that lived in the 16th century during The Eighty Years' War or Dutch Revolt. He lived in Ruinerwold, a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. This place has been the cradle of my direct paternal lineage for 400 years.
This ancestor of mine named Claas was a farmer.
The family coat of arms
The horn of plenty symbolizes the family name, which means: 'a lot'.
The branches with hops symbolize the brewers in the family, hops are used in beer brewing.
The barley ears also symbolize the farmers in the family, the barley is grown by the farmers and used by the brewers in beer preparation.
Both professions are closely intertwined with the family.
The last farmer in my lineage was my great-great-grandfather.
What surprises me is the low frequencies of this haplogroup G. 4% in the Netherlands for example.
Netherlands: 50.2% R1b, 32.9% I(22.6% I1/10.3% I2), 5.1% J2, 4.1% G, 3.3% R1a, 2.9% E1B1b. N, T, J1 and Q less than 1%.
The natives had mainly haplogroup I, the ancient haplogroup of early hunter-gatherers that entered Europe 40.000 years ago.
Haplogroup G is the main paternal lineage of Neolithic farmers from the Near East that entered Europe 8000 - 7000 years ago after the last ice age.
What I read about these farmer communities that entered Europe is that the relationship between the two groups was not always peaceful, sometimes even resulting in genocides. DNA research shows that farmers everywhere included hunter-gatherers in their groups, and that the two groups therefore mixed. The speed of these migrations of farmer communities into Europe was gradual.
Between 5000 - 3000 years ago, early European farming cultures were overwhelmed by new massive migrations from the Pontic steppe by a group related to people of the Yamnaya culture who carried ancestral DNA of the western steppe herders and probably spoke Indo-European languages. They brought with them weapons that the hunters-gatherers of Europe could not handle, ending many ancient paternal lines of hunter-gatherers and farmers. Once again these population groups mixed with each other. R1b, quickly became the dominant paternal haplogroup of all Western Europe. The founding fathers of Europe.
Eventually these haplogroups together would form the ancient celtic and germanic peoples of West Europe. The romans would bring with them J2.
