Goldfoots of Haplogroup Q1b and Altai Mt
One of the other members who found his haplogroup to be Q1b has found evidence of some Q1b's to be living in the heart of Altai's area, west of Altai Krai. Familytreedna had said that Q1b's originated in the Altai Mt. area which covered Siberia, Mongolia and parts of Turkey.
I'm wondering if these people just found have been there forever or if they migrated there for some reason. Being they are Mennonites is a big surprise to me. I read that Mennonites have Swiss and German roots as well as Dutch. They now number about 1 million and started about 1550 AD. They're found in North and South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. Their main thrust is pacifism, so they don't join any armies.
