Greenland: haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 38 kits with a Y-DNA result and 5 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…

Paternal line · Y-DNA

38 kits · 2 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).
Q-M3
29 · 76% 14k years
R1b-M269
3 of 38 6,500 years
other
6 · 16%

Among the rest: A 2, I 1, G 1.

Maternal line · mtDNA

5 kits · 1 branch
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.
A2
3 of 5 (3 of 5, 95% confidence interval: 23–88%) 17k years
other
2 of 5 (2 of 5, 95% confidence interval: 12–77%)

Among the rest: H 1, J 1.

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 no samples from this country.

mtDNA

YFull has fewer than 30 samples from this country, too few to compare. 1 sample on YFull

Ancient samples

From excavations on this territory: 9 samples by Y-DNA and 23 samples by mtDNA. The oldest: 3,950 BCE, D2a1.
