This project is a meeting place for users who share the J-M267 Y-DNA haplogroup, which means they are related along their paternal lines. Users in this group may want to share their family trees with each other to find overlaps and merge duplicate profiles in order to join or expand the World Family Tree and discover new relatives.

This project is about a Y-haplogroup, which defines a group of men by a shared set of inherited features in the DNA of their Y-chromosome. This implies they have a patrilineal ancestor in common, because only males carry a Y-chromosome, which they inherit from their father. The major Y-haplogroups were formed thousands of years ago, and therefore each group can today include thousands to millions of men. For an introduction, you can visit the Y-DNA Haplogroups project, the DNA Testing project, or start at the beginning with the DNA Primer project.

About the Y-DNA Haplogroup J1-M267

Nomenclature. The J-M267 (Y-DNA) haplogroup is defined by the M267 SNP DNA marker. It is also known as J1, which is its designation under the older, now secondary, hierarchical naming scheme for Y-DNA haplogroups. To indicate the correspondence, this haplogroup is commonly designated J1-M267.

Anthropology. The date when the J1-M267 mutation first appeared and the time since the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of all living J1-M267 descendants, has been estimated at rather widely different dates. These range from being founded 31,600 years ago, TMRCA 18,600 years ago (ref) to being founded 8,300–11,300 years ago, TMRCA 8,400 (ref). It's generally agreed that J1-M267 arose in Western Asia (the region of Anatolia, Caucasus or surroundings). Please see the Haplogroup Resources section below for links to more details and discussion of the anthropology of the J1-M267 haplogroup.

Phylogeny. J1-M267 is a subclade (i.e. branch, descendant) of the J-M304 haplogroup. All living J1-M267 men tested so far have belonged to one of the haplogroup's two derived subclades: J1a-Z2215 or J1b-Y6305/F1614. In breadcrumb notation, the descent of J1-M267 from the "Y-chromosomal Adam" ancestral human haplotype is characterized by these haplogroups, established by cumulative mutations: A00 > A1-V168 > A1b-P108 > BT-M91 > CT-M168/M294/P9.1 > CF-P143 > F-M89 > GHIJK-F1329/M3658/PF2622/YSC0001299 > HIJK-F929/M578/PF3494/S6397 > IJK-L15/M523/PF3492/S137 > IJ-M429/P125 > J-M304,P209 > J1-M267

Defining SNP. This haplogroup's defining SNP, M267, has the synonym PF4782, the accession number rs9341313 (SNPedia | dbSNP), and is located at Y-chromosome position (GRCh37) 22741818 with the mutation T->G (source: ISOGG Y-DNA SNP Index). The SNPs L255 and L321/PF4646 are considered phylogenetically equivalent to M267 as of Dec 2016 (ref).

Subclade Projects

This tree below is based on ISOGG 2017 1-Jan-2017. Some intermediary haplogroups have been omitted for simplification, and not all recent subclades have been included. Note the hierarchical part of the name (e.g. "J1a" in J1a-Z2215) is subject to change and should not be used alone without at least providing the STR part of the name (e.g. the "Z2215" in J1a-Z2215). Hierarchical names are limited here to three letters, since beyond that they may frequently change. Numbers in parentheses are the count of profiles (not necessarily for living people) for this haplotype at Geni as of 29-Dec-2016. Haplogroups recognized by ISOGG are in bold. SNP names with numeric extensions (e.g. S350.2) are also found in other Ychr lineages and therefore aren't diagnostic without additional SNP testing.
