Dominican Republic: haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 176 kits with a Y-DNA result and 115 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). On the paternal line the most common are R1b-P312 — 40%, E-M2 (E1b1a) — 14% and J2 — 10%. On the maternal line the most common are L3 — 28%, A2 — 14% and L1 — 10%.

176 kits · 29 branches
Main branches of the Y tree. Each branch counts every kit in it and in its sub-branches; sub-branches are indented. Age is how many years ago the branch's common ancestor lived (TMRCA).

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. Above the map you can pick the paternal line (Y-DNA) or the maternal one (mtDNA).

The time scale is logarithmic: the closer to the present, the longer a year takes.

The same branches are in the tree on this page.

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.

Y-DNA

YFull has fewer than 30 samples from this country, too few to compare. 19 samples on YFull

mtDNA

YFull has fewer than 30 samples from this country, too few to compare. 20 samples on YFull

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.
