Y-DNA HAPLOGROUP N-Z1933

Savonian - Carelian branch

Haplogroup N-Z1933, formed about 2500 years ago, is a subgroup downstream of N-M231 and it has two major branches, the "Savonian" and the "Carelian" branch (even if Savonia and Carelia weren't established as such when N-Z1933 was formed).

Both branches are populated by Y-DNA-results of people who have Kinnunen as family name (or persons who descend from a person with the same family name). This shows typically that DNA and family names don't always go hand-in-hand.

There is a concentration of Kinnunen on the "Savoinian" branch downstream N-BY2738 and especially downstream N-Y22885 with a number descendants to Oleff Kinnunen b.a. 1510 in Rantasalmi.

The haplotree is part of the N-Z1933 project at Familytree DNA.

Note: there are Kinnunens present in other haplogroups, not only haplogroup N, e.g. haplogroup I and haplogroup R.

Y-DNA HAPLOGROUP N-M231

From Africa to Asia to northeast Europe

The common direct paternal ancestor of all men alive today was born in Africa between 300,000 and 150,000 years ago. When humans left Africa, they migrated across the globe in a web of paths that spread out like the branches of a tree, each limb of migration identifiable by a marker in our DNA. Paternal ancestors to haplogroup N made a turn through Central-Asia and South-East Asia. Many from this lineage moved inland and settled in southern Asia. Others moved on and eventually turned west. Early inhabitants of Siberia experienced a population bottleneck where only a few descendant lines survived the harsh living conditions. Around 10,000 years ago, the populations in Siberia began to grow and expand once more. Some from this group then continued west into northeastern Europe.

Today, this lineage remains in some East Asian populations. In the male population of Tokushima, Japan, it is between 1 and 2 percent of the population. In Taiwan, it contributes to 2 to 4 percent of male lineages. Moving west, it is 10 percent of the Sojot, 16 percent of the Khakassian, 25 percent of the Koryaks, and 27 percent of the Tofalar. It is 80 to 94 percent of Yakut male lineages. Toward Europe, it is 31 percent of Estonians, 42 percent of Latvians, 37 percent of Lithuanians, and about 6 percent of Ukrainians. In Finland, it contributes to between 58 and 77 percent of the male population. In Norway, it is between 5 and 7 percent of the male population.

Y-DNA HAPLOGROUP I-A18501 (I-A18503)

Finnish-Swedish-Brittish branch

I-A18501 (I-A18503) marks DNA-results of persons who have Kinnunen as family name (or persons who descend from a person with the same family name).

Note: there are Kinnunens present in other haplogroups, e.g. haplogroup N and haplogroup R.
