Eritrea: summary
FamilyTreeDNA holds for Eritrea: 58 kits with a Y-DNA result and 20 kits with mtDNA. On the paternal line the most common are E-CTS10298* — 17%, E-Y5427* — 16% and A (tree root) — 12%. For mt that is fewer than 50, so those shares below are a rough guide only. YFull has 42 samples for Y from the same area, and its mix of major branches is almost the same.
Detailed pages for each line are linked below the summaries.

Big Y
rough share of kits with a Big Y test, a full read of the Y chromosome. It is estimated from the branches where the region's kits sit, so it is an estimate, not a count.
