On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 107 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 101 distinct among 298 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-M34: 1,680 samples. The common ancestor lived 15k years ago (14k–17k); the branch split off 18k years ago (16k–19k).
