Haplogroup R1b is the most common Y-DNA haplogroup in Western Europe. The haplogroup, according to the 2009 ISOGG Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree, is defined by the M343 SNP (rs9786184 at position 2947824). To what subclade of R1b do you belong?
There are also a number of projects at Family Tree DNA for the various subclades of R1b1b2 such as R1b-U106, R1b-U152, R1b-U198, and R-M222. These projects can only joined by people who have undergone the appropriate deep clade tests at FTDNA to determine which subclade they belong to.
