I woke up this morning to find out that I defined a new branch along my current haplotree which is pretty wild. I know there are few Y-111 people with close results waiting for theirs to get back as Y-700.
Has anyone experienced this at all?
So I've been heavily considering getting a Big y-700 test. Now my major haplogroup certainly isn't rare in Europe, but it's much less common in Europe than some of the other major haplogroups (R1b, r1a, I1, I2) I'm G-L497 which is the biggest branch of G in europe. But my question is if it's worth it, and if I'll get way fewer matches than someone who is, say, R1a or R1b. I'm totally down to do it for the research, but I think if I get 0 matches I'll be pretty disappointed.
Anyone that knows much about haplogroups? I found the haplogroup of my great-grandfather from a first cousin of his. His male line haplogroup was J-BY41190. Apparently, it is a very rare Jewish haplogroup. Note: I am not Jewish, and none of my family is, though I had some Jewish ancestors. Just curious if anyone who knows a lot about haplogroups can explain them to me—if that makes sense—and if anyone else has it. my great grandfathers family from south central italy
