This page is about the Y chromosome haplogroup N. Its purpose is to explain
the genealogical and anthropological meanings of the determination.

As of this writing, Taylor Family Genes has one member in this haplogroup,
about 0.2% of the total membership.
- None are matched (grouped) into genetic Taylor families based on similarity of their haplotypes.
- One is presently ungrouped; he has no genealogically significant matches within the project.
About this Haplogroup
Haplogroup N is believed to have originated 15 to 25 kya
in the northern Far East. It is defined by presence of SNP M231.
- Its parent is NO (SNP: M214), .
- Its child is subclade N1 (SNPs: LLY22g.1_1, LLY22g.1_2).
It is most frequent today in northern Russia. Frequencies among various populations include:
Yakuts 75%, Nenets 75%, Finns 60%, Baltic States 45%, Saami 40%, Russians 20%
