Individuals in different haplogroups have no possibility of being closely related, so there is no point in keeping them together on the same page.
Logically, haplotypes (based on STR [short tandem repeat] testing) should correlate with haplogroups (based on SNP [single nucleotide polymorphism] testing), and they do.  The correlation between haplotypes and haplogroups allows one to deduce the haplogroup from the haplotype, without the added expense of SNP testing.  In the results tables, haplogroup designations without a corresponding SNP test are deductions based on the haplotype.  For common haplotypes, the haplogroup deductions are usually correct; for questionable haplotypes, the deductions can be wrong.  In these cases, FTDNA, as part of its "Haplogroup Assurance" policy, will conduct a "backbone" SNP test, free of charge, to securely determine the basic haplogroup. 

The "modal" haplotypes for the haplogroup subclades given in the tables are just that (i.e., the most common pattern for the subclade); there are variations from the modal pattern, and variations at non-defining markers do not necessarily rule out membership in the subclade.  For a broad summary of haplogroups, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.

In the lineages, given names and patronymics are in Initial Caps; surnames are in ALL-CAPS.  The surname is given only the first time it appears or when it makes a stable change to an alternate spelling (e.g., as from a Danish to a German or Anglicized spelling).

Viewing Tip:  hold your cursor over a name in the lineage.  The full names of the husband and his spouse(s) will appear in the Status Bar of your browser.
Individuals tested for the National Geographic Society's Genographic Project are, in fact, tested with Family Tree DNA, so sharing results between that project and this one is straightforward and easily accomplished (in either direction) from the test subject's member page — and your project admin encourages you to join both.
SNP is treated, both in speech and in writing, as a word, "snip," not spelled out "S-N-P."  Hg is an abbreviation for Haplogroup.
Y-DNA Surname/Haplogroup Representation
Because of the late adoption of surnames by Danes, it is not expected that, in the Danish Demes project, Y-DNA haplogroups (much less haplotypes) will correlate well with surnames.  In other words, the same surnames will be expected to appear in more than one haplogroup; and, within those haplogroups, with numerous unrelated haplotypes.  The table below is intended to show which surnames occur in which haplogroups, so you'll know which tables to check for representatives.  JENSEN is the most common surname in Denmark, and it is certainly well on its way to being the most common surname in the project.

Frequency of Danish Y-DNA Haplotypes — YHRD v. Danish Demes
The Y-DNA STR test results in the YHRD.org database can be searched by various criteria.  One kind of search produces the 20 most common 9-marker haplotypes in a geographic region.  Below is a table of the results for a search on "Denmark."  The markers have been re-arranged into FTDNA order to make them easier to compare with project haplotypes.  Haplogroups were predicted using Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor; I1a varieties are per Nordtvedt.  "Fq in DK" is the frequency in Denmark in the YHRD database; "Fq in DD" is the frequency in the Danish Demes Project.

Combining the frequencies of the top 20 Danish haplotypes in the YHRD database shows they represent just 29% of the total.  Obviously, most haplotypes (the remaining 71%) occur only once or twice in the YHRD database.
