NEW Minority groups project looking at the spread of E and J along the Danube, the Adriatic and elsewhere. Also looking at the remnants of G and i2. Area: Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine. Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia,Bosnia, Belarus, Kosovo. The Middle East groups E & J account for 48% of the Greek Population, 38% of Bulgaria and 29% of Romania. These figures are consistent with large scale population movements.Moving northwards Ukraine E & J account for 7% and moving westwards up the Danube EJ are 17% in Hungary, 18% in Austria 7% in Slovakia and 10% in the Czech Republic. These seem to represent smaller population movements or indeed trading ventures. To understand this we need to view these Middle East groups accross the whole area. much of which was under the Austro-Hungarian or Ottoman empires. Group I in particular seems to have a very complex history. i2 is particularly strong in Croatia and Serbia with representation further east as well. i1 is well represented in Northern Europe as far north as Finland and Scandinavia. How i1 in northern europe fits with the indo-european invasions is far from clear. Come and help the effort.
