On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 239 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 49 distinct among 144 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-M81: 659 samples. The common ancestor lived 4,200 years ago (3,500–4,900); the branch split off 14k years ago (12k–16k).
