About us
According to the Genographic Project, our Haplogroup J2 (M172) is rare in Europe outside of the Mediterranean area. Therefore, our ancestors must have been in the minority during their voyage. What it could also mean is that anyone within this Haplogroup would be “closely” related, that is, within the period say 8000 BC to 1500 AD.
The strategy for further research? First of all, to seek cooperation of already identified perfect Y-DNA matches to dig up and compare their ancestral information and transfer that along with their DNA results to the FT-DNA Project.
Second, to try and have everyone else within Haplogroup J2 (M172) transfer their results to the FT-DNA project to generate more and more perfect matches. Many people will have some records about the date and places where their ancestors lived. These locations would represent additional points on a map and dates would help establish some migration pattern.
