Haplogroup J-Z7675
Equivalent branches, the same kits: J-CTS6619 (1,126 kits, 8,800 years)
J-Z7675 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 1,126 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Russia (Republic of Ingushetia) (61% of kits), Russia (Republic of Chechnya) (26% of kits), Orstkhoy (reported as Italy · Aosta Valley) (14% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 8,300 years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 7,300 to 9,600 years ago. The oldest of the equivalent branches, J-CTS6619, split off about 8,800 years ago by Discover. YFull has 726 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 7,900 years ago.
Belongs to the J-M67 branch, which has a note.

Where it is found #
Countries and regions given by the branch's carriers. “Share of branch” is the part of the branch's kits that belongs to the country. “Share of country” is the part of that country's kits that falls into the branch; it is computed only for countries with at least 50 kits.
Where the ancestors of FamilyTreeDNA geographic project members on this branch lived, from the project maps as of 2026-10-20. Colour is the branch's share of the members at a place, or the number of its carriers; places with fewer than three are left blank. The centre and the 68% circle are corrected for some countries testing more than others. This is a picture of the sample: members chose whether to join and which place to give.

Ancient samples and today's carriers #
How far from the branch's present-day centre its ancient samples were found. The centre and the 68% circle are the same as on the project map above. Find sites are taken from the Mitotree in FTDNA Discover.
Ancient samples with a known site: 37. 24 lie inside the 68% circle; half of all are within 540 km of the centre. The centre of the ancient finds lies 450 km from today's.
Farthest from the centre
- Loulé - Hospital da Misericordia, Faro, Portugal, 1,150 CE ? J-Y23163 — 3,970 km
- Groenmarkt-2, Sint-Truiden, Limburg, Belgium (Flanders), 1,143 CE ? J-Y23163 — 2,720 km
- Groenmarkt-2, Sint-Truiden, Limburg, Belgium (Flanders), 1,420 CE ? J-BY180569 — 2,720 km
Today's carriers are geographic project members: they chose whether to join and which place to give. Ancient samples are the ones studies have covered, and some regions are better excavated than others. The chart puts samples of different eras side by side.
Migration path #
How the branch's ancestral line moved, as modelled by FamilyTreeDNA Discover: ancestor locations are estimated from present-day carriers, the path between them is the least-cost route over terrain. Dates are node TMRCAs, good to centuries. The path ends at a fork of child branches: click one and the path continues into it.
The line moved fastest 65,300–48,600 years ago: 3,000 km, about 180 km per millennium. From the root of the letter on, the line moved slowest 18,700–16,500 years ago: 50 km in 2,200 years. In all, the line covered 14,500 km along Discover's route. Joining the ancestors with straight lines gives 11,400 km; a straight line from the first point to the branch gives 4,000 km.

Most common among these peoples #
From YFull samples that gave a mother tongue: the part of a people's samples that falls into this branch. The list has peoples with at least 30 samples, 3 or more of them in this branch.
- Ingush: 83% of samples (147 of 178)
- Chechens: 35% of samples (374 of 1,055)
- Kabyles: 8.1% of samples (3 of 37)
- Abkhazians: 4.5% of samples (3 of 66)
- Turks: 2.4% of samples (4 of 170)
- Karachay-Balkars: 2.3% of samples (3 of 128)
- Adyghe: 1.7% of samples (4 of 232)
- Arabs: 0.2% of samples (4 of 2,495)
Sub-branches #
Sub-branches that have their own page (50 kits or more), as a tree: every direct one, nested ones from 1% of the branch's kits. The bar is the kits in the sub-branch with its own sub-branches; the age is when its common ancestor lived.
1 small sub-branch more without a page: 1 kit. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 119 kits.
How old the branch is, by source #
Each source's estimate on one scale, in years ago. A dot is the estimate, a bar its spread (a 95% interval for YFull); no bar means the source publishes no spread. The “common ancestor” rows show when the last common ancestor of all carriers lived, the “split” rows when the branch broke off from its parent. Discover does not estimate the split, so its row shows the age of the parent branch itself.
How the branch grew #
How many sub-branches already existed at each moment: a sub-branch counts from the time its common ancestor lived (FamilyTreeDNA Discover estimates). Sub-branches with a known age: 570.
explosive growth: the number of sub-branches doubles in under 400 yearsgrowth: the number doubles in 400–1,500 yearsstagnation: no doubling within 1,500 yearsgrey: fewer than 5 sub-branches at the start of a stretch — too little to tell the rate
The branch grew fastest 5,000–4,000 years ago: its sub-branches went from 22 to 53.
Sub-branches of the last centuries show up only where many relatives have tested, so the right end of the curve says more about who took a test than about population growth.
New this month #
FTDNA: how much the kit count grew between the tree copies of 2026-10-02 and 2026-11-02. 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.

Ancient samples in the branch #
37 samples from excavations belong to this branch or its subbranches. Source: FamilyTreeDNA Discover. “?” means Discover is unsure of the sample's place on the tree. 25 of 37 samples are marked.
A dot is a sample, a line is the range it is dated to, the colour is its culture. A hollow dot: its placement on the tree is uncertain. The dashed line is the branch's common ancestor as FTDNA Discover estimates it.
