United States (Native American): haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 1,834 kits with a Y-DNA result and 2,352 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). Only kits that name United States (Native American) are counted here; those who gave just the country are on the United States page. On the paternal line the most common are R1b-L51 — 34%, Q-M3 — 23% and E-M2 (E1b1a) — 7%. On the maternal line the most common are H — 15%, U — 11% and A2 — 11%.

1,834 kits · 30 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. Above the map you can pick the paternal line (Y-DNA) or the maternal one (mtDNA).

The time scale is logarithmic: the closer to the present, the longer a year takes.

The same branches are in the tree on this page.

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

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 kits per one Y-DNA kit. Below 0.3 means the country tests almost only the paternal line.
