This entry is for a genetic 'haplogroup' and NOT an individual.
The Y chromosome is passed from father to son remaining mostly unaltered across generations, except for small traceable changes in DNA. By tracking these changes, we constructed a family tree of humankind where all male lineages trace back to a single common ancestor who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago. This human tree allows us to explore lineages through time and place and to uncover the modern history of your direct paternal surname line and the ancient history of our shared ancestors.
The R-Z39589 Story: The R-Z39589 paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor R-DF13 and the rest of humankind around 2550 BCE.
This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the ancestor R-DF13 was born between the years 3185 and 1973 BCE. The most likely estimate is 2539 BCE, rounded to 2550 BCE. This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.
The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 2500 BCE.
This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup R-Z39589 was born between the years 3126 and 1915 BCE. The most likely estimate is 2480 BCE, rounded to 2500 BCE. This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.
He is the ancestor of at least 40 descendant lineages known as R-DF41, R-FT407605, R-CTS1751, R-DF49, R-L1335, R-S1026, R-Z251, R-S1051, R-Z16500, R-FGC35996, R-A9507, R-FGC13780, R-FGC33712, R-L526, R-FT72664, R-FT404207, R-BY23964, R-FGC43861, R-FGC20102, R-FT262970, 19 others and 1 yet unnamed lineage.
Descendant lineages are identified as people test their Y-DNA with the Big Y test. At least two testers from a lineage are needed for a new branch to be named and added to the tree.
There are 36,733 DNA tested descendants, and they specified that their earliest known origins are from:
Ireland, United States, Scotland, and 84 other countries.
Haplogroup R-Z39589 is a significant paternal line in Irish paternal clan genetics, predating its descendant SNP M222 by about 2000 years. It is the parent haplogroup of R-M222, associated with Niall of the Nine Hostages. This haplogroup has a vast number of subclades and has been found throughout Ireland, with notable occurrences in West Cork. The haplogroup's origins are also estimated to be around 2770 BCE, and it is a key marker in genetic genealogy research.
This information is self-reported by FamilyTreeDNA participants. It represents the earliest known countries of origin on their direct paternal lines.

This entry is for a genetic 'haplogroup' and NOT an individual.
The Y chromosome is passed from father to son remaining mostly unaltered across generations, except for small traceable changes in DNA. By tracking these changes, we constructed a family tree of humankind where all male lineages trace back to a single common ancestor who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago. This human tree allows us to explore lineages through time and place and to uncover the modern history of your direct paternal surname line and the ancient history of our shared ancestors.
The R-DF23 Story: The R-DF23 paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor R-Z2976 and the rest of humankind around 2150 BCE. This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the ancestor R-Z2976 was born between the years 2809 and 1611 BCE. The most likely estimate is 2167 BCE, rounded to 2150 BCE. This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.
The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 2150 BCE. This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup R-DF23 was born between the years 2785 and 1591 BCE. The most likely estimate is 2146 BCE, rounded to 2150 BCE. This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.
He is the ancestor of at least 5 descendant lineages known as R-Z2961, R-ZP148, R-ZP112, R-BY35099, & R-FT98607. Descendant lineages are identified as people test their Y-DNA with the Big Y test.
There are 19,028 DNA tested descendants, and they specified that their earliest known origins are from: Ireland, United States, Scotland, and 43 other countries.

AI (24 July 2026):
R-M222 is a Y-DNA haplogroup primarily associated with northwest Ireland and parts of Scotland, descending from a common ancestor around 150 BCE.
This makes R-M222 a relatively young subclade within the broader R1b lineage
Geographic Distribution
R-M222 is most commonly found in Ulster (Northern Ireland), northwest Ireland, and parts of Scotland, including Highland, Lowland, Western, and North Eastern counties. It is also present in smaller numbers in other regions of the British Isles and among descendants of Irish emigrants in North America Within Ireland, the highest concentrations are in Donegal and Sligo, with notable presence in Lowland Scotland and the Western Isles
R-M222 has been linked to the Irish Modal Haplotype (IMH) and historically associated with the legendary Ui Neill dynasty and the figure Niall of the Nine Hostages, a 5th-century warlord, though direct descent from Niall is not genetically confirmed
The haplogroup represents a significant paternal lineage in northwest Ireland, with studies suggesting that roughly one in twelve Irish men may carry this genetic signature
Today, R-M222 continues to be a focus of genetic genealogy, with over 16,000 tested descendants reporting origins in 41 countries.

This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the ancestor R-ZZ87 was born between the years 29 BCE and 472 CE. The most likely estimate is 239 CE, rounded to 250 CE. This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.
The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 300 CE. This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup R-DF85 was born between the years 35 and 534 CE. The most likely estimate is 303 CE, rounded to 300 CE.
