Spain: summary

FamilyTreeDNA holds for Spain: 3,936 kits with a Y-DNA result and 1,462 kits with mtDNA. On the paternal line the most common are R1b-L151 — 8%, R-Z278 — 7% and R-ZZ12_1* — 7%. On the maternal line the most common are U5b — 5%, K1a — 3% and J1c — 3%. YFull has 68 samples for Y from the same area, and its mix of major branches is broadly the same. The largest gap is I-CTS595: 2% on FTDNA against 7% on YFull.

Paternal line · Y-DNA

n=3,936 · 24 branches shown

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).

82%

agreement with YFull · Y

how closely the Y major-branch make-up matches between FTDNA and YFull. 100% is identical, below 80% is visibly different.

I-CTS595 +5.1

gap to YFull · Y

the Y branch whose share differs most between the two companies: FTDNA 2.2%, YFull 7.4%

13%

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.

21%

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.

mtDNA · 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.

0.37

mt to Y

maternal-line tests per one paternal-line test. Below 0.3 means the country tests almost only the male line.
