Haplogroup I is found almost exclusively in Europe where it is represented in about 20% of the population, though subclade I2 is decidedly less common than its sister clade, I1.  It's difficult to generalize about I2 because it contains a number of geographically limited subgroups.  One group of I2a is concentrated in the Balkans and is called "Dinaric" (for a mountain range there, the Dinaric Alps), while another group is found around the Baltic and North Sea coastal areas, another in the British Isles, and another in Sardinia and Iberia.  The root clade of I2b is uncommon, with a probable origin from an Iberian glacial refugium from which it spread widely in western Europe.  The main variety of I2b, dubbed "Continental," is most common in northwestern Europe, southern Scandinavia, and Britain.  Another group is almost exclusive to the British Isles with a concentration in Scotland.

So far, five members of Danish Demes are Haplogroup I2:

I2a-Dinaric
(n = 1)		 I2b1-Root
(n = 1)		 I2b1-Continental-1
(n = 2)		 I2b1-Continental-2
(n = 1)

Unlike Haplogroup I1, which is universally 8 at marker DYS455, Haplogroup I2 is usually 11 at this marker (sometimes 10 and very rarely 9). 
Ken Nordtvedt is the guru researching Hg I subclades (see his Excel spreadsheet; modals below are his).  For a table showing modal haplotypes for Hg I varieties in FamilyTreeDNA marker order, please also see my HTML transcription of Nordtvedt's spreadsheet.
The Y-DNA haplotree has undergone a major revision in 2008.  For Haplogroup I, the major change is the removal of old I1 based on the P38 SNP, which means all downstream clades have been "bumped up" a notch.  What that means for us is that everyone who was formerly I1b is now I2.  This change has been adopted by FTDNA, ISOGG, Nordvedt, and by me here on these web pages (as of Aug 2008).  FTNDA is not recognizing the subclade defined by M223, so those who are I21b under the ISOGG system will be I2b on their FTDNA member page.

This individual appears to be some form of Ken Nordtvedt's Dinaric variety, but it's unclear which form because he has one trait from each.  He has no matches in  the FTDNA, Ysearch, or SMGF databases.  Because this haplotype appears unique, your project admin recommends deep SNP testing and upgrading to at least 37 markers.

#82373 has a rare haplotype, with no matches at any level in the FTDNA or Ysearch databases.  While he resembles two of the three "Root" varieties of I2b1 defined by Nordtvedt, it's a toss-up whether he most closely resembles Root1 or Root2, leaning toward the latter.  Upgrading to 67 markers (and thus gaining Marker DYS446) might tip the scale towards Root2 (or balance it exactly).
Our subject has opted for deep SNP testing, with these results:
P19+ M170+ M258+ P38+ M223+ P37.2- M161- M26- M21- M227- M253-  M307- M72- P30-
The first four positive results prove our subject is Haplogroup I.  The fifth positive result proves he is I2b1.  The first three negative results confirm that he is not any form of I2a.  The remaining six negative results confirm that he is not any form of I1.  Our subject may wish to consider taking the "I1b2 [= new I2b] subgroup" test bundle at EthnoAncestry to determine his I2b subclade.

This individual has a perfect match with the key markers for Nordtvedt's "Continental 1" variety of I2b1.  His haplotype is uncommon.  He has just two 12/12 matches and one near match at 25 markers in the FTDNA database.  At 25 or more markers, his haplotype is unique.
Our subject has opted for deep SNP testing, with these results:
P19+ M170+ M258+ P38+ M223+ P37.2- M161- M26- M21- M227- M253-  M307- M72- P30-
The first four positive results prove our subject is Haplogroup I.  The fifth positive result proves he is I2b1.  The first three negative results confirm that he is not any form of I2a.  The remaining six negative results confirm that he is not any form of I1.  Our subject may wish to consider taking the "I1b2 [= new I2b] subgroup" test bundle at EthnoAncestry to determine his I2b subclade.

#64043 has an extremely rare haplotype, with no matches at any level in the FTDNA database and only some low level matches at Ysearch and SMGF.  While his haplotype shows him closest to I2b1-Continental-1, he has unusual values at two markers (green table cells), which in part account for his lack of matches.  As more varieties of I2b1 are defined, I think we can expect this individual to fall into a new variety.
Our subject has opted for deep SNP testing, with these results:
P19+ M170+ M258+ P38+ M223+ P37.2- M161- M26- M21- M227- M253-  M307- M72- P30-
The first four positive results prove our subject is Haplogroup I.  The fifth positive result proves he is I1b1.  The first three negative results confirm that he is not any form of I2a.  The remaining six negative results confirm that he is not any form of I1.  Our subject may wish to consider taking the "I1b2 [= new I2b] subgroup" test bundle at EthnoAncestry to determine his I2b subclade.
