Here is some statistics over geographical location of our major branches of U5 on Family Tree DNA. Blue is high proportion and red low. The branches are quite wide spread but with a consentration of U5b1 in especially Finland.
If you are on Family Tree DNA It is important that you fill in the information about earliest known ancestor with location. To do that:
- Log in to your ftDNA konto
- Click on your name up at the right side
- Click on: account settings
- Click on: genealogy
- Click on: earliest known ancestor
- Ad info on ancestors and locations
If your paternal ancestry is unknown (e.g. because of adoption) please write “unknown” and fill in your own birtplace as geographic location.
The same as the mosaic plot but in numbers are found below. To control the size of the plot on a computer it can be opend in a separate tab.
| Region | U5a1 | U5a2 | U5b1 | U5b2 | U5b3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| American native | 12 | 6 | 7 | 11 | 3 |
| British isles | 222 | 75 | 78 | 136 | 14 |

Here is a mosaic plot of the U5 subgroups and Y haplogroups. R is most common in all U5 groups but a little less common in U5b1 where N instead is common. U5b1 and N are common in Finland. I is the second most common with an even spread among U5 groups.
Below is a link to a phylogenetic tree of U5 as of 2019-11-19. It is computer generated so it has not been manually checked but it should group kits in a reasonable way. Best is to download and view on a big screen with a good pdf viewer. Your personal place in the tree is found by searching for your kit number.
