Tree of the ancient samples' branches. Each branch includes all samples of its sub-branches; sub-branches are indented. With so few samples every labelled branch is shown, single samples included; branches that only pass one child through are skipped. Age is how many years ago the branch's common ancestor lived (TMRCA), from FTDNA.
