R-U106 (Y-DNA)

This project is for people who have tested and been assigned the paternal haplogroup R-U106 (Y-DNA) and also for people who are believed to have been this paternal haplogroup based on tests done on descendants.

The current naming convention is to use the terminal SNP, so R1b, U106* Also known as R1b1b2a1a (S21+), previously known as R1b1b2a

From http://www.genebase.com/learning/article/11 The R1b1b2a1 (S21+) is a prominent R1b subclade and is likely the major subclade in resolving identity after the R1b1b2 (M269+) subclade.

From http://www.genebase.com/learning/article/11 "R1b1b2a1a (S21+), previously known as R1b1b2a Unusually short DYS458 alleles (DYS458.2) are associated with R1b1b2a1 (S21, aka M405). Cases of this allele have so far been detected in Ireland, England, Germany, the Netherlands and the U.S. (1-5%) and this appears to a unique west European marker. The DYS458.2 allele also occurs independently in the Y-chromosome J1 subclade. "

Origin

R-U106 is a patrilineal descended family that descends from an ancestral R-L151 group located among or near the Yamnaya culture, north of the Black Sea. The group rose to significance in the area of present Germany and the surrounding areas aboout 3000 bce before modern " Germanic" and such designations could really be used.

Depending on which branch of U106 a member descends from, the people on that branch adapted to a variety of different cultures along the way, including various derivatives of Slavic, Latin, Celtic, Belgae, Saxon, Viking, and other cultural groups. Even Germanic groups had various different haplogroups
Also called Proto- Celtic

Distribution

From http://www.genebase.com/learning/article/11
"....frequency is highest in the Dutch (35%) and it is also rather high in England, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Czech Republic and Switzerland (13-23%). This region overlaps origins of Germanic groups, such as the Anglo-Saxons in Frisia ( who also have I 2 , I1 , R1 and G2 haplogroups )
Comment?It does not appear to have extended its reach beyond West and Central Europe (except recent migration to the USA)" ?
Not correct as found in Norway , Poland Spain, Russia , Sicilia, Ukraine and Turkey before 1000 ade

e.g. My own R-U106 3000 yr separate from those in Frisia , match R-U106 in Norway yet closer to those on the Black Sea - Phillipp

Update October 9, 2013: Using DNA samples from three living members of the House of Bourbon, a new study shows the family belonged to R-Z381* (a subgroup of R-106), not G2a. See Dienekes Anthropology Blog, House of Bourbon belonged to Y-haplogroup R1b1b2a1a1b* (R-Z381*), Oct. 9, 2013.
