Isle of Man: haplogroups
FamilyTreeDNA has 144 kits with a Y-DNA result and 35 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). On the paternal line the most common are R1b-P312 — 41%, R1a-Z284 — 35% and I1-Z59 — 9%. For mt that is fewer than 50, so those shares below are a rough guide only. YFull has 35 samples for Y from the same area, and its mix of major branches is broadly the same. The largest gap is I1-Z59: 9% on FTDNA against 34% on YFull.

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.

Distinctive branches
Branches found here far more often than worldwide: their share is more than 3× the world share. The multiplier is in brackets. Branches of at least 10 kits are included.
Most similar countries
Countries whose mix of major branches looks most like this one. The number is similarity: 100% is the same mix, lower means less in common. Computed only for countries with 100+ kits.

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.

New this month #
FTDNA: how much the kit count grew between the tree copies of 2026-10-09 and 2026-11-12. A kit that moved to a new sub-branch after refinement is not counted as new. YFull: samples YFull itself marks as new, in the copy of 2026-11-02; YFull drops the mark after a few weeks.
