ound this and thought it was Interesting.
J2a L397 is my paternal lineage..
My Y-DNA Haplogroup is J2a1h2a1 [J2-L70 (J2-L397, J2-L398)]
Makes a lot of sense. I can trace my paternal ancestry almost 1,000 years to Languedoc France.
Pretty sure they were Franks.
"Finally, we explored the distribution of J2a-L397 and three derived lineages within it. J2a-L397 is tightly associated with a typical DYS445 6-repeat allele. This has been hypothesized as a marker of the Greek colonizations in the Mediterranean55, based on its presence in Greek Anatolia and Provence (France), a region with attested Iron Age Greek contribution. All of our chromosomes in this clade were characterized also by DYS391(9), confirming their Anatolian Greek signature. We resolved the J2a-L397 clade to an unprecedented precision, with three internal markers which allow a finer discrimination than STRs. The ages of the three lineages (2.0–3.0 kya) are compatible with the beginning of the Greek colonial period, in the 8th century BCE."
