This project is a meeting place for users who share the J-L210 Y-DNA haplogroup, which means they are related along their paternal lines. Users in this group may want to share their family trees with each other to find overlaps and merge duplicate profiles in order to join or expand the World Family Tree and discover new relatives.
Haplogroup J2a Subclade L210
https://www.yfull.com/tree/J-L210/
L210 formed around 10100 years before present. Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor: 8300 years before present. Today, L210 is found in Armenia, Turkey, northern Iraq, Morocco and Europe. It may have originated in the Late Neolithic Armenian Highlands and spread in the 4th millennium BC with the Kura-Araxes culture, together with other J lineages. Its immediate "parent" clade, Z447, was found in a Bronze Age sample near Şırnak, Turkey from c.2900–2600 BC. Older ancestral clades were found in Chalcolithic northern and eastern Turkey, and in the Caucasian Maikop culture.
The main Jewish subclade of L210 is Y15223 (formed 2500 ybp, TMRCA 1450 ybp), which is comprised mainly of Ashkenazi Jews, and at least one Sephardic lineage from Greece. The famous Rothschild family has the downstream clade Y23161 (formed 800 ybp, TMRCA 550 ybp). One bearer of Y15223 was found in a sample from 14th century Erfurt, Germany. The more basal haplogroup J-Y15245 (formed 2700 ybp, TMRCA 2500 ybp) has non-Jewish branches in Italy and Russia, as well as a Brazilian lineage of Sephardic origin. An individual with apparent Greek or Anatolian ancestry from late Imperial Rome in Isola Sacra (R11109, also called Isola Sacra 617) was found with Y15245. Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad-Lubavitch, was found to have L210, which is different from the expected E1b lineage belonging to most patrilineal descendants of the Maharal of Prague.
