United Kingdom: summary

FamilyTreeDNA holds for United Kingdom: 9,707 kits with a Y-DNA result and 4,459 kits with mtDNA. On the paternal line the most common are R1b-L151 — 6%, R1b-L21 — 3% and I1 — 3%. On the maternal line the most common are J1c — 7%, K1a — 5% and T2b — 5%. YFull has 235 samples for Y from the same area, and its mix of major branches is noticeably different. The largest gap is I-S7660: 1% on FTDNA against 7% on YFull.

agreement with YFull · Y

how closely the Y major-branch make-up matches between FTDNA and YFull. 100% is identical, below 80% is visibly different.

21% / 20%

reached the finest branch: YFull / FTDNA

share of YFull samples and FTDNA kits that reached the finest branch of the FTDNA tree. On average a YFull sample sits 38.4 branchings from the root, an FTDNA kit 34.3

Y-DNA · on leaves

share of kits that reached the finest branch of the tree. The rest stopped at a broad branch: their test was not detailed enough.

Big Y

rough share of kits with a Big Y test, a full read of the Y chromosome. It is estimated from the branches where the region's kits sit, so it is an estimate, not a count.

maternal-line tests per one paternal-line test. Below 0.3 means the country tests almost only the male line.
