Y-DNA haplogroups Y-DNA haplogroups Haplogroup E3b is a Y-chromosome (or male-line) haplogroup that is believed to originate in East Africa in the Upper Paleolithic. It is found mainly in populations from East Africa, West Asia, and Southeastern Europe/Italy. ...more on Wikipedia about "Haplogroup E3b (YDNA)"
Also known as M201, haplogroup G has an overall low frequency in most populations but is widely distributed in Eurasia. Little about its origins is currently known. Haplogroup G is a branch of M89/ haplogroup F, between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. Haplogroup G is most frequent in the Caucasus, and is also found in Asia Minor, the Middle East, the Balkans, Italy, with decreasing frequency in other parts of the world. ...more on Wikipedia about "Haplogroup G (YDNA)"
Haplogroup I (M170) is a Y-Chromosome haplogroup that is exclusive to Europe and is relatively wide-spread in all European populations. Its highest frequencies can be found in the Scandinavian populations, but is also very common with the Croat population. ...more on Wikipedia about "Haplogroup I (YDNA)"
Haplogroup J is a Y-chromosome (or male-line) haplogroup defined by the 12f2.1 genetic marker, or the equivalent M304 marker. ...more on Wikipedia about "Haplogroup J (YDNA)"

Haplogroup R1a (M17) is a Y-Chromosome haplogroup that is spread across Eurasia. It is common in Europe, Northern Central Asia and India. In Europe the highest frequencies are in Eastern Europe. Today it is found at over 40% frequencies in many Slavic countries, with some notable exceptions. Relatively high frequencies are also found in Northern Europe and is believed to have been spread across Europe by the Vikings, which accounts for the existance of it in among other places the British Isles. It is however fairly common across all of Europe. In India haplogroup R1a is found in both the Hindu castes and tribal populations, and it is most diverse in tribal, rather than caste populations, therefore researchers have concluded that it is not necessarily a signature of Central Asian origin ** . ...more on Wikipedia about "Haplogroup R1a (YDNA)"
Haplogroup R1b ( M343) is the most frequent Y-Chromosome haplogroup in Europe. ...more on Wikipedia about "Haplogroup R1b (YDNA)"
