R2 Haplogroup - Useful Links

The Genographic Project
This page (below) on haplogroup R2 gives you an understanding about your deep ancestry. If you've done your dna testing with National Geographic's Genographic Project then you'd have already visited this site. And of course, besides R2 there's information on every other haplogroup as well.
















Family Tree DNA
Genographic Project members may upload their results to this site for free and their data will be here for 25 years(I think). As more people get their dna tests done, and ongoing research reveals more, you may keep visiting this site for updates. There's also a utility called Ysearch to find matches in their database, according to your genetic markers.

















Digging into Haplogroup R2 (Y-DNA)
A forum dedicated to R2 people. Discuss whatever information you want out here about haplogroup R2.

Anthropology Forum
A forum with topics ranging from genetics & genealogy, biological and cultural anthropology, ethnicity and various other related topics.
