A haplogroup is the term used to define one's deep ancestral origins that may pinpoint to a particular region in the world. Coordinating results by haplogroup may:

  1. Reveal a common ancestor between men of different surnames
  2. Indicate deep ancestral origins from a common "founder" ancestor.  (See: "Founder Scots DNA") 
  3. May indicate a particular region of Europe that your Scottish ancestors originated from. Additional information on haplogroup origins is included below.

Haplo-I Subclade Predictor

Haplogroup I - The I, I1, and I1a lineages are nearly completely restricted to northwestern Europe. These would most likely have been common within Viking populations. One lineage of this group extends down into central Europe.1
