Equivalent branches, the same kits: J-PF4832 (14,188 kits, 15k years), J-L136 (14,138 kits, 13k years)
J-L620 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 14,251 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Yemen (51% of kits), Saudi Arabia (48% of kits), Jordan (42% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 15k years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 13k to 17k years ago. The oldest of the equivalent branches, J-PF4832, split off about 15k years ago by Discover. YFull has 9,250 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 15k years ago.

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.
2 small sub-branches more without a page: 67 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 57 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 235 distinct among 750 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%.
J-L620: 9,250 samples. The common ancestor lived 15k years ago (14k–17k); the branch split off 19k years ago (17k–20k).
