I had my Y-DNA taken and it came back as Haplogroup J2 which is a Haplogroup most common in the Middle East/Mediteranean and I was a bit puzzled. My dad has lived in Hyde all his life and so has our paternal ancestors going a long way back. Possible Roman connection? from what I've been told Haplogroup J2 is a Roman marker for males in the UK, interestingly the Roman Empire map is almost exactly similar to Haplogroup J2 distribution map. Hyde isn't far from Melandra Roman fort either.

I remember that you could see the ditches and cobbles as you walked along. manchester university had a dig up on the farmers fields behind it in the 70's, and identified it as a roman encampment. the findings are with the greater manchester archaeology unit. hope this helpsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-11507885293401120392013-09-11T13:31:04.164+01:002013-09-11T13:31:04.164+01:00When walking along the lane from the Rising Moon t...When walking along the lane from the Rising Moon towards Stalybridge, you turn right onto a very straight section of (what was 30 years ago) cobbled road.
