Are You In Haplogroup G?

 

Tools for Finding Out

 

 

Haplogroup G is closely related to its “brother” haplogroups, H, I, and J.  This is because all of these groups have an immediate common ancestor, Haplogroup F.  The STR values that the founders of each of these haplogroups carried was probably very close, differing on only a few markers.  Therefore, it is often difficult to distinguish these groups.  Since Haplogroup H is only very rarely found outside the Indian subcontinent, it will not be considered here where the likely ancestry is European or Middle Eastern.

 

The only sure way to determine Haplogroup G membership is to have a “SNP” test.  For more information on SNP testing strategies (where it is desired to find not only the haplogroup, but subhaplogroups), click the link on the main page (back one level).
