5 small sub-branches more without a page: 25 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 9 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 126 distinct among 345 kits. FTDNA gives surnames per branch only, with no country attached, so they cannot be split by country.
