Human y-chromosome DNA has been categorized into 20 haplogroups by genetic scientists. Each person living on the earth today so far tested, belongs to one of these 20 haplogroups. Those tested with prominent Swiss surnames, fall into six of the 20 haplogroups. By tracing the origins of the haplogroup and sub-group, one can reveal the migration pattern of one's ancestors. Some of the results are quite surprising.
Below is a list of prominent Mennonite family names and the haplogroup each name represents (Some people with the same surname have different genetic origins and may not share the same haplogroup).
