I can't decide what haplogroup they belong to.

C2 (formerly C3)
" Numerous studies by teams of biochemists, based on the Y-DNA of modern descendants of Genghis Khan, have indicated that Genghis Khan may have belonged to a subclade of Haplogroup C-M217 (C2) such as C-F4002 (C2b1a3).[6] "
" Zerjal et al. (2003)[7] identified a Y-chromosomal lineage present in about 8% of the men in a large region of Asia (about 0.5% of the world total). The paper suggests that the pattern of variation within the lineage is consistent with a hypothesis that it originated in Mongolia about 1000 years ago, and thus several generations prior to the birth of Genghis. Such a spread would be too rapid to have occurred by genetic drift, and must therefore be the result of selection. The authors propose that the lineage is carried by likely male-line descendants of Genghis Khan and his close male relatives, and that it has spread through social selection due to the power that Genghis Khan and his direct descendants held and a society which allowed one man to have many children through having multiple wives and widespread rape in conquered cities. All male line descendants of Genghis Khan were all allowed to have numerous wives.[8] |
R1b
" However, research published in 2016 suggested that Genghis possibly belonged to the haplogroup R-M343 (R1b).[9] The controversial result was based on analysis of five bodies, dating from about 1130 – 1250, which were found in graves in Tavan Tolgoi, Mongolia. The physical remains all of the 5 bodies belong to the Mongoloid physical type. The remains are believed to be possibly related with the members of the Mongol "Golden Family", at around the time of Genghis Khan, although it is unsure if the Y-DNA haplogroup marker belong to the Borijigin clan or the products of clan marriages between the female lineage of Genghis Khan’s Borjigin clan and with males of other clans/tribes from Mongolia or Central Asia origin.
