Haplogroup J



updated 03-11-2006
(Remember to reload the page each visit for the latest update)
We have quite a diverse number of Haplotypes in the paternal ancestries of our Puerto Rican DNA Geographic Project participants. The members on this particular page are estimated to be in Haplogroup J2 or J. Many have upgraded to either 25 or 37 markers. Others have been SNP tested for either Haplogroup J2 or J. (An SNP is a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, a haplogroup specific mutation).

5 members are designated to be in Haplogroup J2 (Kit 32953 is SNP tested +M172). A previously estimated J2, Kit 14230 has had additional SNP testing and is now in Haplogroup J (12f2.1+, M172-). A second member who joined from the Genographic Project, Kit N10213 has been SNP tested and is Haplogroup J, 12f2.1+, M172- as well. The others are estimated to be in Haplogroup J but not SNP tested.  Those who have had SNP testing are colored in red on the chart.

Haplogroup J  

Haplogroup J is found at highest frequencies in Middle Eastern and north African populations where it most likely evolved. This marker was carried by Middle Eastern traders into Europe, central Asia, India, and Pakistan. The Cohen modal lineage (or CMH) is found in Haplogroup J* (ref. FTDNA). It is also found in Kurds, Hungarians, Armenians and Central Italians. They are usually Yap-. Cohanim are from the tribe of Levi and are believed to be the priestly descendants of one man, Aaron, the brother of Moses. He is the first high priest or Cohen Gadol. It is important to note that being CMH or not being CMH is not proof that one is a Cohen.  The maternal line also plays a significant part in determining Cohen status. Therefore, it does not rely solely on Y DNA. (Jewish Genes & Genealogy).

Haplogroup J2 

This lineage originated in the northern portion of the Fertile Crescent where it later spread throughout central Asia, the Mediterranean, and south into India. As with other populations with Mediterranean ancestry this lineage is found within Jewish populations and Semitic groups. Therefore, being Haplogroup J2 does not necessarily convey Jewish ancestry.  Confirmation should come by way of SNP testing.

It is well known that many conversos, sephardí and marranos left Spain at the time of the Inquisition in 1492 and afterwards and made their way to the New World, to Puerto Rico and the other Caribbean islands. 

According to a study by Behar et al, Askenazi Jews are 20% J1 and 20% are J2.

Haplogroup J2 and its subclades may be found in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Albania, India, Greece, and Arab countries.

Distribution maps of J1, J2, E3b and R1b can be seen in Semino et al's  "A Genetic Legacy of Homo Sapiens Sapiens in Extant Europeans: A Y Chromosome Perspective".

Note: Ashkenazi, Cohanim, Levite, and Sephardi may be in Haplogoup J, J1 or J2 and their subclades.  SNP is required for assigning to the specific group.

Note: The largest influx of Spaniards to Borínquen (Puerto Rico) was from the regions of Andalucía, Galicia, Valencia, Asturia, Navarra, the Vascondados (Basque country), Aragón, Catalunya, Santander and the Balearic Islands. The history, and arrival of these individuals was faithfully researched and documented by the first lady of Puerto Rican Genealogy, Doña Estela Cifre de Loubriel (1909-1998) who made them the focus of her life's work in five detailed and highly prized sought after tomes called "La Formacción del Pueblo Puertorriqueño". Amongst these were also the Canarians. The initial arrival of the Canary Islanders, themselves the descendants of the Guanches, occurred during a first royal spanish decree in 1695 which was later followed by decrees in the years 1714, 1720, 1731, and 1797. In 1815, la Reál Cédula de Gracia, a more relatively "recent" royal decree allowed the immigration of other foreigners to Puerto Rico to settle, cultivate and own the land. This latter group included not only Canary Islanders, but Corsicans, and especially Venezuelans. Other groups who left their mark to a smaller extent are the Irish, French, Dutch, and Chinese. Not withstanding the great cultural diversity brought by all these groups, the influence of the Isleños was so great, that the spanish spoken by Puerto Ricans is rich in many Isleño words and the pronunciation of the language is so similar that it is said (and it is not surprising) that a Puerto Rican may easily be mistaken for a Canary Islander by the intonation of their syllables and their manner of speaking.

Read more about the Canary Islanders by one of our members here:
Brief History of the Canarian Migration to Spanish America.

Additionally, since the time of the inquisition and with the enactment of the different Reál Cédula de Gracias from the time of the colonization to the 1800s, these royal decrees were passed, allowing immigrants to travel to the Indies. Conversos, Marranos and Sephardí made their way to the New World and the Caribbean basin including Puerto Rico. There were also many Portuguese immigrants of Jewish descent who were sailors, involved in commerce,  or involved in trading from very early on in the history of Puerto Rico. Many families have oral traditions of their Sephardí ancestry and carry out certain customs passed down generation to generation to the day.  For some, the memory of why things were done in a particular way and no other, has been lost. 

Nevertheless, with the advent of genetic genealogy,  many can research their lines to prove or disprove their specific ancestry.

It is, therefore, not unexpected that we should find Haplogroup J2 and J and all the other DNA signatures amongst our group as our project continues to expand.
