About 8-10% of Ashkenazim are R1b — a slim majority of it is probably southwest European in origin. Know which variety?

R-L47 in particular subclade of R-M269 / R1b1a1a2

Ah, the Ivanhoe cluster! That’s a weird one. My dear Norse Irish friend is R-L47 too.

Do you have any further reading on this? I'm curious, now! Thank you regardless :)

http://jewishdna.net is a great, if cluttered index of info on Ashkenazi Y-chromosome lineages. I think there are a few pages scattered about the web re: Jewish R-L47. It’s quite a mystery!

I won’t dig too deep, haha. Mildly jealous of you yekkes!

This is something you didn't know before?

I knew both but it didn't occur to me that there was something curious about it until just this moment

Looks like it's around 10% (maybe higher in N. Europe)pic.twitter.com/ycbESe9sBy

One of my BiLs was presumably shocked to learn he's ~25% ashkenazi (paternally) following 23andme test....even though his surname at least hints at that.
-
per 23andMe I'm about 10%, which matches neatly with 1/8 expected after patrilineal great-grandfather's (and grandfather's, and father's) marriage to non-Jews
