Collins DNA Haplogroup R1b M222

In the 2019-2020 time period, R1b revisions have placed R-M222 under R-Z39589, covered on a separate page.

M222 is a relatively young subclade. It has a wide representation in the British Isles. According to this academic paper by Klyosov and Conroy (2012?), roughly 50% of its distribution gleaned from DNA research projects is in the Isles, with about 25% in Ireland (presumably the island, not any particular 20th century political entity.) After the northern part of Ireland (the island), Scotland has the next heaviest concentration.

Collinses possessing the Niall of the Nine Hostages badge in their accounts belong to this subclade of R1b. (Some R-M222 men do not have this badge in their accounts.) If willing to commit to further Y testing, M222 Collinses should join the M222 haplogroup project.

R-M222 clusters within the project's private Y results are numbered starting with Cluster 1900.

There has been little Big Y SNP testing among M222 project members. Substreams of M222 have not been discovered for the project lineages identified. Generating modals would not give us meaningful information until that is achieved.

Project members give diverse geographic origins such as New York and West Virginia as their origins of their paternal lines. R-M222 is heavily concentrated in the northern part of Ireland and in Scotland but no project members have pinpointed a location there for their paternal line origin.

There are too few expert level participants under M222 for the project to be able to provide extensive Haplogroup, Genetic Distance, and TMRCA tables.
