I have just received my Y-DNA Results

[aidan]

Hello.

I have just received my 12 marker Y-DNA results today.
I have still to get my 13-25 marker results in the future.

It says that my predicted haplogroup is R1b1b2.
Shorthand: R-M269.

I am Irish, so is this a common haplogroup in Ireland?

Thank You.

Yes, there is plenty of R1b1b2 in Ireland.

If you have specific questions regarding your haplotype [the string of numbers] you could probably list a y-search ID for people to give their opinions.

On your "My Y-DNA Matches" page, you can click on the link and automatically upload your results to y-search. You can create a y-search account at the same time, so you don't need to create one before you do the upload process.

Thank You.
I have just uploaded my information.

Alright.

Now maybe you could let the people that could look at the numbers know the y-search ID.

[aidan]

Yeah. It is 3PQJ2.

With only the first 12, your exact matches are in Ireland, England and Scotland.

I know you mentioned waiting for the end of your 25 markers.

Even 37 won't be a great test for an R1b1b2. If you can afford it, 67 markers plus the deep clade R are recommended IF you are looking for true ancestry here.

In other words, even if you come out having a bunch of matches at high numbers, they won't mean anything unless you share the same SNPs / subclade with them.

Too many R1b1b2 haplotypes from too many subclades can look identical when only comparing STR numbers.

Chuckle. Over 80% of Irish are R-M269.

I am currently awaiting my Deep Clade Test and my 67 Marker Y-DNA Results.

Good to know.

Keep us posted.
