Haplogroup I2b1
Haplogroup I2b1 is called the Stonemasons and has two basic parts - Continental & Roots. The Continental clades seem to have had their foundings some 9,000 years ago in Germany on the north German plain, and it appears that our heritage is pre Celto-Germanic. This haplogroup occurs at a moderate frequency among populations of Northwest Europe, with a peak frequency in the region of Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany; minor offshoots appear in Moldavia, and Russia (especially around Vladimir, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and the Republic of Mordovia). According to The American Journal of Human Genetics, SNP M223 occurs in over 5% of the population of Southern France, German, Dutch, & Moldova. Haplogroup I2b1 has four subclades - I2b1a; I2b1b; I2b1c; & I2b1d.
Haplogroup I
Haplogroup I is called "EUROPE'S NATIVE SONS" and is found in a frequency of about 20% in Europe.
