Haile Selassie had haplogroup T-L208

[NidarNidar]

Did a relative of yours recently took the test, i have a new relative, his from Awdal, paternal T-l208, maternal J1b and also he has 4.5% Ethiopian, 1.1% Southern Congolese and East African and 94.4% Somali. If he was not new, I would have suspected it's your result.

Thats my brother genetics is weird got 100% Somali but he shares 28% dna with my maternal grandmother whileI have 24%.

I matched with Amhara who is T-l208, he is 20% Somali but does not know how he has 20% somali. He could be related to Haile Selassie.

Halie Selassie a Somali Dir, interesting

Think I matched with him and his father.

edit: yeah, he's showing up as my 7th cousin.

Wait are you the dude with R0a2 maternal haplogroup?

On my side he shows as my 2nd cousin in 23andMe. His in third place in my relative list after my cousins and he scored 20% Somali with T-l208 paternal Haplogroup. Something is not adding up, especially him claiming he lives far away from Somali region and only known himself as fully Amhara. Yes, my maternal haplogroup is ROa2.

Try to get him to the big y, what's his mtDNA?

He said his interested to do the big Y but also said its expensive, if you know any discount offers i can let him know, his mtDNA is L2a1

The british and the ethiopians conquered Galbeed. King Menelik added eastern zone to Ethiopia (Harar+Galbeed) of course with the help of the british.

Ethiopia also annexed Djibouti before the french colonized them

during the end of 19th the Ethiopian empire was at its stongest level. Most territiries were annexedvat that time

They Ethiopians troops in the 1900s tend to get lost or starve to death in the interior of the "conquered" Ogaden region.

It's off by 50 dollars, atm on FamilyTreeDNA it doesn't go down below 400 bucks, in the meantime, tell him if he can't find a cheaper one, I'm willing to pay half of it by December/Jan.

He can use this to calculate his ydna if he can download the raw file from 23andme.

if he gets T-Y65681, his most likely Somali variant of T, I got it when I did it there before, ended up on T-FGC92488 on big y.
