Frequency Distribution of Haplogroup I2b1 The center of haplogroup I2b1 is in Lower Saxony, Germany. The originator of this group must have lived in this area for a long time as so many members live here; perhaps Frederick Roderick.

WAS THERE A QUARRY IN LOWER SAXONY, GERMANY?

Yes there is! Obernkirchen, Lower Saxony

“As one of the world's oldest active quarries, we have been supplying to projects throughout all of Europe and beyond for 1,000 years. Throughout this period, well-known master builders and architects have used our sandstone to create impressive edifices. In former times, the raw blocks were mostly quarried and hewn in one step. Initially, the master stonemasons and their assistants used muscle power and the simplest tools to break the blocks. Back then, as many as 27 master stonemasons quarried at the same time.

Are Brunswick, Obernkirchen, and Dorste Close to Each other?

Obernkirchen Quarry near Hameln—Braunschweig is “Brunswick” (Duke lived There) The Lichtenstein Cave is Near Osterode (30 miles from Hameln)
