So far we have the presumed haplogroups 36 out of 46 presidents. None of the haplogroups are 100% certain as no president tested personally. The haplogroups were inferred based on triangulation of each president's genealogy and the results of descendants of a common shared ancestor. Those with a (?) next to the haplogroup are based on the haplogroups matching their surname in their ancestral region, but lacking clear data about the genealogy of the tested people.
- 2 are E1b1b => 5.5%
- 5 or 6 are I1 (Germanic/Nordic) => 14 or 16.5%
- 1 is I2a1a (British/Irish Neolithic)
- 2 are I2a2a-L801 (Germanic) => 5.5%
- 1 might be R1a
- 22 are R1b (61%) including:
7 R1b-U106 (Germanic)
1 R1b-S1200 (Celto-Germanic)
1 R1b-P312>Z30597 (Celto-Germanic)
2 R1b-DF27 (Celtic)
2 R1b-U152>L2 (Italo-Gaulish)
8 R1b-L21 (British/Irish Celtic)
- 1 is T1a1a
Compared to the Y-DNA frequencies in Britain and Ireland, where most presidents' paternal lines originated, there are more E1b1b, I1, I2 and T1a than expected, but less R1b (Britain has 70% R1b and Ireland 81%). That's probably due to the small sample size though, which quickly adds more weight to minority haplogroups.

Unconfirmed - Hoover

Herbert Clark Hoover (1874 - 1964)
DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Herbert by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
