Orstkhoy (Aosta Valley in FTDNA): haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 192 kits with a Y-DNA result and 9 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). On the paternal line the most common are L-M357 — 59%, J2a-Z7671 — 16% and J1-CTS1460 — 14%. For mt that is fewer than 50, so those shares below are a rough guide only.

Compare with…

Almost every kit filed under “Italy (Aosta Valley)” in FTDNA belongs to the Orstkhoy, a people closely related to the Chechens and Ingush. The Orstkhoy chose the Italian region because its flag resembles their own. There are practically no Italian lineages here, so this region is shown as Orstkhoy and detached from Italy in the statistics.

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.

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 no samples from this country.

Y-DNA · on leaves
share of kits that reached the finest branch of the tree. The rest stopped at a broad branch: their test was not detailed enough.
68%
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.

Data on this page: FamilyTreeDNA Y tree, 12 November 2026: 192 kits; FamilyTreeDNA mtDNA tree, 11 November 2026: 9 kits.
