Whats your Y-DNA Haplogroup

[Mussoliniopoli]

Unsure in fact there isn't much information avaible until they find some old burial mounds or something that matches my Y-chromosome. Until then I am pretty much an enigma though with the way it is stacking so far it looks like it might possibly concentrate along the Rhine. I submitted my results to the Russian Academy of DNA Genealogy and all they could give is some guesses of where my origins come from and it varied from Proto-Germanic Tribe to some lost guy from the Russian Steppes.

Hey that's where my father's line comes from! I'm too poor to get one done, but maybe one day I might investigate. That stuff fascinates me.

It continues to get cheaper while the process becomes more Streamline but it is still a rather niche market. I only happened to get it done because there was a sale at Family Tree DNA and you can at least trust them as their labs are located at Arizona State University.

I don't think I have one.

If you have a vagina that answer is likely correct...unless you bought yourself a vagina.

The former...

How in the H-E-double hockeysticks, could I possibly know that, if I'm not a geneticist?


I'd be from one of the ones that we're most common in Western and Northern Europe likely, my ancestry is French/North Irish with a small amount of Norman and Scottish.

[Sovereign Spirits]

Would you like us to scan and upload our individual DNA/RNA sequence as well? Come on, now.

That isn't what determines your y-haplogroup it is your y-chromosome which has been passed down from father and son since humans appeared as a species. It is the evolutions of such which give a rough idea of where your people likely lived pre and post ice age.

Well I've heard they look for people with Aboriginal blood to do research on in regards to Haplogroups. If they do that again, I might look into that.

I know one group was paying for it but they have since down what their grant was for and no longer accept packets as far as I know. I will give it a look over and see if they are still doing it and if so I will drop you a TG. Last I checked though they had down what Brigham Young University had mandated so they are just a database now I think.

Paying a geneticist to tell you.

Awesome! Remember I'm in Australia though...

Well if you really want I already have.
My Y-Chromosome
My Genetic Cousins
All you have to do for the second one is type in the captcha and hit search it will bring up the results.

Or in some cases, not even paying. Start here ...

They were going out to places like Samoa so I think they can make it to Oz.

[Dakini]

None.

Aw okay. Yeah, that'd be great. Some sort of world genome project or something?

It was part of an effort to further the knowledge of people from areas that most researchers don't typically bother with due to poverty levels and the like. Most genetic testing at this point is done on the voluntary basis and is thus heavily and overly concentrated of Western Europeans and North Americans which leads to some lopsided results. This is why I am hoping for more genetic testing in Eastern Europe as it will likely lead to more useful answers for me as Western Europe at this point is a rather dry well with a scattering of people.

Wow, that's a good idea. Well they might be interested in my family then, especially my Dad's side. German/Irish/English/Aboriginal with possible Melanesian, Chinese and more. I'm a bloody mongrel.

[Yaltabaoth]

I'm Haplolessly uninformed about such matters.

[Phing Phong]

I have no idea. My ancestry a mix of multiple ethnicities so it is impossible for me to speculate.

[Potarius]

Mostly R1b, from the looks of it.

[Seaforce]

I am R1a1a (M198+ M17+ L449+ PS7- M417-).

Hello,

M417- and old european - If i'm not mistaken, there is only one such entry at the FTDNA's R1a1a subclades project which enlists one "John Walker Van de Water" - so If thats not you maybe you should try contacting him.

Also and more importantly China and India which have dense and propbably the most diverse populations on Earth

[Coccygia]

Damn, I had that written down somewhere...can't find it.

[Vetalia]

Probably R1a, since it's common in Poland, my ancestral home.

I thought China was quite ethnically homogeneous.
