I'm T2a1a and I'm from Iceland. I have no idea where T2a+ comes from and I'm trying to figure it out myself ;-) ... wondering whether it is a recent import (1700+) or an mtDNA from the settlement period (870+). My Icelandic paper trail ends in 1742.

My great granfather's mtDNA was T2a1a8 and his known ancestors are from Ireland, more specifically County Roscommon. Her earliest known ancestor is Mary Connella born in the late 1700s. Eupedia has it that the subclades that evolved in the Near East and have remained more frequent there include several T1a subclades, T1b, T2a, T2c, T2d and T2h, among others. T2a1a is found in Europe, the Near East, Central Asia and India.
Ancestry: Ireland (Paper trail ≅ 81.25% Roscommon, 12.5% Galway, 6.25% Mayo)
Y-DNA (P) ancestor (Y): Kelly b. c1830 in Co. Roscommon (Uí Maine)
mtDNA (P) ancestor: Fleming b. c1831 in Co. Roscommon
mtDNA (M) ancestor: McDermott b. c1814 in Co. Roscommon
mtDNA Great grandfather: Connella b. c1798 in Co. Roscommon (T2a1a8)
Y-DNA 2x great grandfather: Higgins b. c1816 in Co. Roscommon (R-DF109)
Y-DNA 3x great grandfather: Fleming b. c1829 in Co. Roscommon (R-Z23534)

My sister just tested and while I only have T2a, she actually got T2a1a.
Where did you test? On FTDNA such a difference shouldn't even be possible, on 23andme or LivingDNA its another matter.Originally Posted by omgpeeps
