I am the guy from Foggia

In the current version of Ytree there is no subclade under BY5026, but this is not true according to the current FTdna tree (whose database is actually larger than YFull one). On the YFull tree, I fall into BY5026 with no other specs, just like you.

My surname is actually quite common in Apulia and Campania. I'd like to know more about your origin, it may be connected with mine. On yfull and Ftdna websites, there are other BY5026 carriers, one from Campania, some other people from Switzerland, and a guy from Ireland. I fall into FT40236...

Hi, I am the guy you are talking about! I am from Foggia, but the oldest direct male ancestor I have found, was born in Melendugno in 2nd half of 16th century.

Thanks a lot, so the Hallstatt culture should be the most likely source.

Who knows, it looks so, at the moment. I check out most days waiting for updates:) According to snptracker website, BY-5026 entered Italy during the iron age coming from the alpine area... It might has been part of italic migrations, or Celtic ones, or Ligurian people.

I belong to BY-5026>FT40236 clade, which is widespread, at the moment, only in Italy and Switzerland, since the 1st millennium BC. My direct male paternal ancestors are apulians since, at least, the 16th century.

E-V13 is a European clade, since, at least, the 5th millennium B.C.. It spread starting from the Danubian area across all Europe, and you can find it from Norway to Greece. It is quite common in southern balkan area and in south Italy, probably, but not exclusevely, because of ancient greek...

I did the FTDNA big Y test, it is probably the most purchased one, at the moment. I found it really good.

Hello, I think you should have to test your DNA at a deeper level. However, E-V13 has nothing to do with M81. V13 is 8.000 years old and arose in Europe, where his ancestor, L618, arrived centuries before, coming from Anatolia/middle East. V13 shares a common ancestor with M81, M35, which is...
