Equivalent branches, the same kits: J-ZS4381 (207 kits, 9,100 years)

J-ZS7763 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 207 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. Stands out most: Yemen (1.2%), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1.6%), Iraq (0.7%). The branch's common ancestor lived about 3,500 years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 3,000 to 4,200 years ago. The oldest of the equivalent branches, J-ZS4381, split off about 9,100 years ago by Discover.

Belongs to the J-L620 branch, which has a note.

Where it is found #

Countries and regions given by the branch's carriers. “Share of branch” is the part of the branch's kits that belongs to the country. “Share of country” is the part of that country's kits that falls into the branch; it is computed only for countries with at least 50 kits.

Colour is the branch's share of the country's kits. Hover over a country or tap it.

Ancient samples and today's carriers #

How far from the branch's present-day centre its ancient samples were found. The centre and the 68% circle are the same as on the project map above. Find sites are taken from the Mitotree in FTDNA Discover.

Ancient samples with a known site: 9. 7 lie inside the 68% circle; half of all are within 1,250 km of the centre. The centre of the ancient finds (Italy (Trentino)) lies 1,500 km from today's.

Horizontal: years ago; vertical: km from today's branch centre. The dashed line is the edge of the 68% circle.

Farthest from the centre

Santarém - Islamic Necropolis, Santarém, Portugal, 850 CE ? J-ZS4452 — 3,220 km
Empuries, Girona, Catalonia, Spain, 155 CE ? J-PF7263 — 2,180 km
Mödling-An der Goldenen Stiege, Lower Austria, Austria, 700 CE ? J-PF7263 — 1,250 km

Today's carriers are geographic project members: they chose whether to join and which place to give. Ancient samples are the ones studies have covered, and some regions are better excavated than others. The chart puts samples of different eras side by side.

YFull

Most common among these peoples #

From YFull samples that gave a mother tongue: the part of a people's samples that falls into this branch. The list has peoples with at least 30 samples, 3 or more of them in this branch.

Serbs: 0.7% of samples (3 of 451)

Sub-branches #

Sub-branches that have their own page (50 kits or more), as a tree: every direct one, nested ones from 1% of the branch's kits. The bar is the kits in the sub-branch with its own sub-branches; the age is when its common ancestor lived.

How old the branch is, by source #

Each source's estimate on one scale, in years ago. A dot is the estimate, a bar its spread (a 95% interval for YFull); no bar means the source publishes no spread. The “common ancestor” rows show when the last common ancestor of all carriers lived, the “split” rows when the branch broke off from its parent. Discover does not estimate the split, so its row shows the age of the parent branch itself.

FTDNA Discover common ancestor3.5k years (3.0–4.2)

FTDNA Discover split from the parent11.9k years (10.3–13.7)

Thickness against the parent: by ancient samples ×0.93, by living carriers ×1.0: grew later. All such splits on a map

How the branch grew #

How many sub-branches already existed at each moment: a sub-branch counts from the time its common ancestor lived (FamilyTreeDNA Discover estimates). Sub-branches with a known age: 60.

explosive growth: the number of sub-branches doubles in under 400 yearsgrowth: the number doubles in 400–1,500 yearsstagnation: no doubling within 1,500 yearsgrey: fewer than 5 sub-branches at the start of a stretch — too little to tell the rate

Across: years ago; up: number of sub-branches, log scale. The shaded band marks the period when the count multiplied most; the last thousand years are left out.

The branch grew fastest 1,500–1,000 years ago: its sub-branches went from 15 to 30.

Sub-branches of the last centuries show up only where many relatives have tested, so the right end of the curve says more about who took a test than about population growth.

New this month #

FTDNA: how much the kit count grew between the tree copies of 2026-10-09 and 2026-11-12. A kit that moved to a new sub-branch after refinement is not counted as new. YFull: samples YFull itself marks as new, in the copy of 2026-11-02; YFull drops the mark after a few weeks.

Surnames #

Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 7 distinct among 21 kits. FTDNA gives surnames per branch only, with no country attached, so they cannot be split by country.

Ancient samples in the branch #

9 samples from excavations belong to this branch or its subbranches. Source: FamilyTreeDNA Discover. “?” means Discover is unsure of the sample's place on the tree. 9 of 9 samples are marked.

A dot is a sample, a line is the range it is dated to, the colour is its culture. A hollow dot: its placement on the tree is uncertain. The dashed line is the branch's common ancestor as FTDNA Discover estimates it.

Years ago. The scale tightens towards the past: the further back, the closer the centuries.
