Portugal (Azores): haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 59 kits with a Y-DNA result and 40 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). Only kits that name Portugal (Azores) are counted here; those who gave just the country are on the Portugal page. On the paternal line the most common are R1b-P312 — 37%, I1-Z59 — 7% and E-V13 — 7%. For mt that is fewer than 50, so those shares below are a rough guide only. YFull has 215 samples for Y from the same area, and its mix of major branches is broadly the same. The largest gap is R1b-DF27: 22% on FTDNA against 45% on YFull.

Y-DNA · kits per 100,000 men
rank 1 of 6 among regions. About 113,000 men (Wikidata, 2021). A kit's country is the ancestor's homeland, not where the tester lives

Paternal line · Y-DNA

59 kits · 10 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).

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.

Portugal (Azores): Y-DNA #

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.

  • R-DF27 R1b-DF27: 13 kits · 22.0% (95% confidence interval: 13–34%) (×4.7) 4,700 years
  • R-ZZ11: 19 kits · 32.2% (95% confidence interval: 22–45%) (×3.8) 4,800 years
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. The tree shows only its top three levels.

The same country on the project maps

In the FTDNA geographic projects a member puts the place of their paternal or maternal ancestor on the map. Here those points are set against the public tree: solid bar the tree, hatched bar the points on the maps, copy of 2026-10-20. A person in several projects counts once. Branches as in the tree above: each counts every kit in it and in its sub-branches.

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.
