About us

A PERSON'S HAPLOGROUP AS SHOWN BY FTDNA IS A PRODUCT OF THE AMOUNT OF TESTING DONE AND NOT AN INDICATION OF THEIR ULTIMATE HAPLOGROUP (PERSONS WHO ARE DESIGNATED AS J-M267 FOR EXAMPLE, MAY, IF TESTED FURTHER, WIND UP AS J-S12192, FOR EXAMPLE, AND IF TESTED EVEN FURTHER, AS J-Z18290, FOR EXAMPLE). SERIOUS RESEARCHERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PROCEED TO BY700 TESTING AS THE ONLY ACCURATE METHOD TO IDENTIFY HAPLOGROUPS.

The following recurring surnames are confirmed or presumed to have Cohanic and/or Levitic branches within the J-M267 group studied in this project (updated 27 NOV 2023):
