Sub-branches #
Sub-branches that have their own page (50 kits or more). The bar is the kits in the sub-branch with its own sub-branches; the age is when its common ancestor lived.
4 small sub-branches more without a page: 62 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 3 distinct among 7 kits. FTDNA gives surnames per branch only, with no country attached, so they cannot be split by country.

The same branch on YFull #
YFull builds its tree from the same SNPs; the node is matched by name or by a shared SNP. TMRCA is when the common ancestor of all samples lived, formed is when the branch split from its parent. Intervals are 95%.
B-Y10394: 57 samples. YFull publishes no age for this branch.
