Taylor Haplogroup G
his page is about the Y chromosome haplogroup G. Its purpose is to
explain the genealogical and anthropological meanings of the determination.
If you are coming to this page directly, you may want to read first
about haplogroups in general; you
will probably need
the background.
As of this writing, Taylor Family Genes has 14 members in this haplogroup,
about 3% of the total membership.
- 11 are matched (grouped) into three (3) genetic Taylor families based on similarity of their haplotypes.
- 3 are presently ungrouped; they have no genealogically significant matches within the project.
About this Group
Haplogroup G is believed to have originated 14 to 30 kya
in teh Middle East or South Asia. Its defining SNP is M201.
- Its parent is F.
- Its children are subclades G1 (SNPs: M285, M342) & G2 (SNP: P287) .
It is most frequent today in the Caucasus region of southeastern Europe.
Members of this haplogroup may want to consider joining the DNA project for

From
Wikipedia:
The haplogroup is the most frequent in the Caucasus (found at over 60% in ethnic
North Ossetian males and around 30% in Georgian males). The
Kabardinian and Balkarian peoples of the northwestern Caucasus are known to
be 29% G.
Armenians are known to have around 11% of their males in HgG.
The article goes on to say that the haplogroup in found in frequencies of
about 5% to 10% in other parts of Europe, but lower in Britain & Norway. About
10% of Ashkenazi Jewish males are Hg G. In Southwest Asia, the frequencies rise
to as much as 20%.
Some Taylor Family Genes members in haplogroup G have started a mini-project
at Ancestry.com to assist each other.
