The International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers that was founded in 2005 to promote DNA testing for genealogy.[1][2][3] It advocates the use of genetics in genealogical research, provides educational resources for and facilitates networking among genetic genealogists.[4] It also maintains and regularly updates the ISOGG Y-haplogroup tree,[4] which has been described as providing the "accepted nomenclature" for human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups and subclades and being "well ahead of the published work of the academics".[5][6]
