Haplogroup R-M343

The other Irish Haplogroup is from Haplogroup R-M343 (aka R1b). This is a very common Haplogroup in Central Europe, Spain, France, Portugal and the British Isles. Sub-groups include R-L48, R-U106 and R-P312, the three groups featured in the Hayde/Hade results.

Note in the Haplo R-M198 section above, R-M343 is a close relative of R-M198.

This set seems to have Norman origins and I have labelled this grouping as of ‘Norman Origin’ on the web site. This is very conceptual at present and the haplogroups are going through continuous further testing. What is interesting is that the Haydes in this group have very similar DNAs to families that have origins in Lancashire. Lancashire is where several of the Protestant Irish landowners originated.

Similar to the Haplogroup R-M343 are the results from R-M269. This is a sub-glade of R-M343 as can be seen above.

The haplo tree for R-M269 and its sub-glades of R-U106 and R-P312 is shown below:
