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.
1 small sub-branch more without a page: 2 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 303 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 70 distinct among 233 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%.
E-M191: 471 samples. The common ancestor lived 5,300 years ago (4,600–6,200); the branch split off 6,200 years ago (5,100–7,300).
