Project Background:

E1a has been something of a stepchild relative to the two major subclades of Haplogroup E, E1b1a and E1b1b. Recently a number of us, who had been designated as E(xE1b1) [E but not E1b1], were tested by FTDNA. We were all found to be E1a(M33+ and M132+). Since very few people who have been found to be E(xE1b1) have been able to get SNP testing to establish their specific subclade, we are also offering membership to anyone who has tested positive for E(M96+), but has not tested positive for any subclade of E, except of course E1a. This project is not intended for men who are in E1b or E2.

Project Goals:

The goal of this project is to monitor closely the evolving anthropological research on Haplogroup E1a and support members as they try to tie their conventional genealogical research to the genetic findings related to E1a. As subclades of E1a are discovered, it would also be useful to do additional SNP testing as a group to refine our results and presumably get a better handle on how our ancient patrilineal ancestor lived.
