The J2 subclade of Haplogroup J (see entries at Wikipedia and ISOGG) arose in the northern Fertile Cresent, roughly 18,500 ±3500 years ago. 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).

We have one member of the Danish Demes proejct who is Haplogroup 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.

Haplogroup J Subclades as Defined by SNP Mutations

The chart below is a comparison of the Haplogroup J SNPs and subclade designations as given by ISOGG (the International Society of Genetic Genealogy) and as used by Family Tree DNA. Our member is J2 by both classifications, at least until he undergoes deep SNP testing, which your project admin recommends.

Pvt⁴, Pvt³, Andrew², Andrew¹ — born in Iowa, parents born in DK

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. It could also mean this individual has an NPE, a "non-paternal event" (i.e., hidden adoption or illicit paternity) in his lineage. We'll have a better idea as more people are tested and he begins to have matches. Perhaps some very adventurous J2's made it this far north.

What constitutes a match?
For 12 markers: 8 or less is a non-relative; 9-10 means only a small chance of a relationship; 11-12 means a possible relationship.
For 25 markers: 20 or less is a non-relative; 21-22 means only a small chance of a relationship; 23-25 means a possible relationship.
For 37 markers: 30 or less is a non-relative; 31-37, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 67 markers: 55 or less is a non-relative; 58-67, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For any test: 0 matching markers, please contact NASA.
