Latvia mtDNA

FamilyTreeDNA holds for Latvia: 261 kits with mtDNA. On the maternal line the most common are K1a — 11%, J1c — 5% and H1b — 3%. YFull has 62 samples for mt from the same area, and its mix of major branches is noticeably different. The largest gap is K1a: 11% on FTDNA against 2% on YFull.

share of kits that reached the finest branch of the tree. The rest stopped at a broad branch: their test was not detailed enough.
Each colour is one of the eight most common macro-haplogroups worldwide (the first letter of the haplogroup, such as R or J). Everything else is grey.HUTJKVLIother

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 2026-09-29.
