In Search of the Origin of I-L38 aka I2a2b (formerly called I2b2)

Below,
six papers on the wanderings of I-L38 are attached. These paper are written by Hans De Beule, a Belgian hobbyist belonging to this haplogroup. 
 
NEW Paper VI: June 2011: Origin, Migrations and Expansion of Haplogroup I-L38 in Relation to Haplogroup R1b
On the one hand I-L38 is too small to get much scientific attention, on the other hand the limited scale makes it easier to investigate the I-L38 haplotypes more in depth. Combining known facts with advancing insights and new material the east to west migration of I-L38 becomes visible. Also it becomes clear that the Upper Rhine played a role of importance in the expansion of I-L38 in the Late Bronze Age to Late Iron Age. These migrations seem identical to those of R1b, suggesting a shared history.

Paper V: December 2010: I-L38 in Vlaanderen en Nederland
Remark: This paper is written in Dutch because it is meant as a status quaestionis on I-L38 for the Dutch speaking DNA community. This paper explains the jargon and methods, summarizes the finds of former I-L38 papers and adds the latest finds.The essence of this paper is published in the English written paper of June 2011.
I-L38 is een bescheiden haplogroep die zowel in Vlaanderen als Nederland voorkomt. Wellicht komt I-L38 uit de Rijnvallei en migreerde ze in de laatste 4 millennia in verschillende golven door Vlaanderen naar de Britse eilanden. Enerzijds is I-L38 te klein om op veel onderzoeksaandacht te kunnen rekenen, anderzijds maakt de beperkte schaal het bevattelijk om de I-L38 haplotypes meer in de diepte te onderzoeken. Deze paper wil hobbyist-genografen inspireren en tezelfdertijd het testen van SNP L38 promoten.  


Paper IV: June 2010: Phylogenetic Relations and Geographic Distribution of I-L38

The first section of this paper presents a 49 marker network analysis of 64 I-L38 haplotypes. This network is used to visualize the phylogenetic relations between the 64 haplotypes.  The second section maps the geographic origin of I-L38 samples from several public databases.

Whenever possible the phylogenetic relation between samples with known geographic origin was visualized on the map. Calculating the MRCA between these samples creates a hypothetical timeframe to explain the relations. The third section describes the construction of a distribution map of I-L38. The general conclusion is that at this moment most evidence points to a relation between I-L38 and the migrations of Late Bronze Age (Urnfield Culture) and Iron Age (Hallstatt, La Tène) people.

Paper III: November 2009: Early Bronze Age Origin and Late Iron Age (La Tène) Migrations of I-L38

I-L38 is a small clade with a continental distribution  scattered around the UpperRhine (Rhineland - Palatinate). It also is present on the British  Isles.

This paper tries to reveal how I-L38 migrated from it's continental core to the British Isles.

In order to do so, 3 methods have been combined. First a trendline was calculated for the geographical Y and X coördinates of samples with known origin (belonging to I-L38 and other haplogroups). Second, a phylogenetic that tree was made for I-L38 samples with known origin. Third the historical context was studied.

Combining these approaches lead to the conclusions that, starting from the Upper Rhine, I-L38 spread during the EBA in an area between Rhine, Danube and Elbe and I-L38 migrated in the Late Iron Age I-L38 with Celtic La Tène people, through Belgium, to the British Isles.

 Paper II: April 2009: Origins of Hg I-L38 Subclades

Network analysis confirms I-L38-B (and especially the Lichtenstein variant) as the ancestral
I-L38 clade. Distribution of continental I-L38 samples with known geographical origin confirms the UpperRhine area as region with the highest I-L38 frequency and diversity. Distribution of I-L38 (I2b2) in the Netherlands does not support a Saxon ancestry.

Further analysis is needed to clear out the relation of I-L38 to the Rhine, to study the possible link to early bronze age cultures (as the Michelberg culture) and to investigate the correlation to other clades (as R-L21*).

Paper I: September 2008: Origin, Distribution and Migrations of I2b*-Subclades
Remark: In 2008 I-L38 (aka I2b2) was known as I2b*

Until now the resolution of most scientific articles was not detailed enough to say something about the small haplogroup I2b*. The purpose of this paper is to describe the continental origin, distribution and migrations of the I2b*-subclades. To calculate a minimum spanning network 101 European I2b* samples were used. Starting from this network, clusters within the known I2b* subclades (I2b*-A, -B and –C) were determined by combining DYS448 and DYS19 values.

Origin of the samples, distribution and place of origin of the surname were taken into account to pinpoint the Continental samples (together with the related British Isles samples) on the map of Europe. The Upper Rhine region clearly played a prominent role in the history of I2b*. This region has the highest frequency of I2b*s and the greatest STR-diversity.
