I just received my DNA test results today conducted by Igenea, the results on my paternal side came back with the haplogroup I2a.
This makes no sense to me though.

Haplogroup I2a
Haplogroup I2a is characterized by the genetic Marker P37.02, which appeared for the first time 15,000 years ago. It originated in the Balkans, where it is most widely distributed yet today.
Haplogroup I2a distinguishes itself from other tribes that sought in the Balkans a refuge from the ice sheet during the Ice Age. As one of the few original tribes, they survived the Ice Age and expanded into Romania, Poland, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
The hard environmental conditions during the Ice Age led to a drastic decrease of the human population and the genetic diversity of Europe.
