Gambia: haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 46 kits with a Y-DNA result and 2 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). That is too few for a summary: with fewer than 50 kits the percentages are shaky, and the site draws no conclusions from them.

Compare with…

FTDNA Discover holds about 296 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 571 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.

Paternal line · Y-DNA

46 kits · 3 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).
E
41 · 89% 52k years
M2 (E1b1a)
28 · 61% 18k years
E1b1b-M35
4 of 46 25k years

5 · 11%

Among the rest: A 2, B 2, K 1.

Maternal line · mtDNA

2 kits · 2 branches
Main mt-tree branches grouped by letter, sub-branches indented. Each branch counts every kit in it and in its sub-branches. Age is how many years ago the branch's common foremother lived, from FTDNA data where available.
H31
1 of 2 (1 of 2, 95% confidence interval: 9–91%) 4,000 years
T2b

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. 1 sample on YFull

mtDNA

YFull has no samples from this country.

Data on this page: FamilyTreeDNA Y tree, 12 November 2026: 46 kits; FamilyTreeDNA mtDNA tree, 11 November 2026: 2 kits; YFull Y tree, 2 November 2026: 1 sample.
