Algeria: haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 506 kits with a Y-DNA result and 119 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). On the paternal line the most common are E1b1b-M35 — 34%, J1-FGC1707 — 30% and J2a — 6%. On the maternal line the most common are H — 38%, U — 13% and L3 — 5%. YFull has 318 samples for Y from the same area, and its mix of major branches is almost the same. The largest gap is E-PF2546: 20% on FTDNA against 28% on YFull.

Compare with…

Y-DNA · kits per 100,000 men
rank 87 of 123 among countries. About 24 million men (UN, 2023). A kit's country is the ancestor's homeland, not where the tester lives

FTDNA Discover holds about 28 more samples here that are not in the public tree, mostly from academic studies (estimate from the copy of 13 November 2026); this page is built from the public FTDNA tree.

Mitotree, the mt tree of FTDNA Discover, has about 35 more samples from here that the public mt tree lacks: mostly academic studies, GenBank among them (copy of 11 November 2026). This page is built from the public FTDNA tree.

Migration paths of the characteristic branches #

Paths of the region's main characteristic branches, as modelled by FamilyTreeDNA Discover, on one calendar clock: in each year a branch stands where its ancestral line was. Grey is a stretch of path shared by several branches; the large marker is the branch itself.

YFull

The same country on YFull #

The same country at the second company, YFull. Its samples are placed on the FTDNA tree by shared mutations, so the branches are comparable. FTDNA share on the left, YFull on the right, then the difference in percentage points. Republics and other sub-regions are taken out of the country, as at FTDNA. Starred branches are nearly empty at YFull: every test there is whole-genome and reaches the fine branches. Only YFull customers (YF number) are counted, no ancient DNA. YFull data of 2026-11-02. The tree shows only its top three levels.

The same country on the project maps

In the FTDNA geographic projects a member puts the place of their paternal or maternal ancestor on the map. Here those points are set against the public tree: solid bar the tree, hatched bar the points on the maps, copy of 2026-10-20. A person in several projects counts once. Branches as in the tree above: each counts every kit in it and in its sub-branches.
