R1b is the most common Y-haplogroup in Western Europe, the most common group defined by the SNP M269. It consists of more than 50 subclades, and further SNP testing is necessary to determine which of these one belongs to.

A Deep Clade test at Family Tree DNA is recommended.

How to join

Add your oldest known direct paternal ancestor to the project if you belong to this group. If you have completed Deep Clade (SNPs) testing to find your subclade, join the proper subclade project instead.
