Kalmykia: haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 6 kits with a Y-DNA result and 2 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). Only kits that name Kalmykia are counted here; those who gave just the country are on the Russia page. 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

6 kits · 1 branch

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).

Maternal line · mtDNA

2 kits · 2 branches

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.

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 fewer than 30 samples from this country, too few to compare. 3 samples on YFull

mtDNA

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

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.
