We have one project member who is Haplogroup J, and his SNP test indicates he is J2.  Subclade J2 arose in the northern Fertile Cresent, roughly 18,500 ±3500 years ago (see entries at Wikipedia and ISOGG).  It then spread westwards around the Mediterranean and broadly eastwards throughout central Asia and south into India.  It is most common in Anatolia — about 25% of Turks are J2.   (See Figure 2, Map C, for distribution of J2).

This haplogroup is so uncharacteristically Danish that it raises the question of whether his origin truly is Denmark.  He currently has no matches, but perhaps when he does we'll have an answer.

Red labels indicate markers that typically mutate more frequently than those labeled in black. Marker 464 mutates most rapidly of all and sometimes has five to seven counts (a-g), not just four (a-d).
(Empty cells that are darkened indicate tests not ordered.)

This individual has a unique haplotype, with no matches at any level in the FTDNA or Ysearch databases.  His closest match at Ysearch is with the J2 modal haplotype, yet his genetic distance from the modal is considerable.  Through four censuses, his earliest known ancestor consistently gives his parents' birthplaces as "Denmark"; however, this haplogroup is so atypically Danish, it raises the question as to whether this origin is correct.
   
What constitutes a match?
Matches in other surnames are usually mere coincidence, so please ignore them — I'll let you know when you shouldn't!
For 12 markers:  9 or less is a non-relative; 10-12, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 25 markers:  21 or less is a non-relative; 22-25, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 37 markers:  31 or less is a non-relative; 32-37, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 67 markers:  55 or less is a non-relative; 56-67, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For any test:  0 matching markers, please contact NASA.
