FTDNA Y-tree branch

Haplogroup N-B482 N-Y6503

Equivalent branches, the same kits: N-FGC28401 (52 kits, 13k years), N-P189 (52 kits, 9,700 years)

N-B482 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 52 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Serbia (6.6% of kits), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1.4% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 14k years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 12k to 16k years ago. The oldest of the equivalent branches, N-FGC28401, split off about 13k years ago by Discover.

Belongs to the N-M231 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.

Migration path #

How the branch's ancestral line moved, as modelled by FamilyTreeDNA Discover: ancestor locations are estimated from present-day carriers, the path between them is the least-cost route over terrain. Dates are node TMRCAs, good to centuries.

Left to right runs from the distant past to today, in years ago; the past is packed tighter. Upward are the kilometres the line covered along Discover's route. A dot is an ancestor of the branch, the shaded band is the fastest stretch, the dashed line is N-M231, the root of the letter. Steep means the line was moving, flat means it stood still.

The line moved fastest 44,200–38,000 years ago: 4,700 km, about 750 km per millennium. From the root of the letter on, the line moved slowest 22,900–13,100 years ago: 2,900 km in 9,900 years. In all, the line covered 28,300 km along Discover's route. Joining the ancestors with straight lines gives 19,700 km; a straight line from the first point to the branch gives 8,300 km.

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.

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.

No sub-branch has its own page: only small branches lie below.

On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 4 kits.

Sub-branches without a page #

Each of these sub-branches has fewer than 50 kits with a country, so none has its own page. Below are all with 5 or more kits, with their age and top countries.

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 ancestor13.0k years (11.1–15.3)
FTDNA Discover split from the parent22.8k years (20.0–26.0)

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: 26.

0 2,500 5,000 7,500 10k 13k 1 10

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 5,000–3,000 years ago: its sub-branches went from 5 to 8.

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 2026-10-02 and 2026-11-02. 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.

Ancient samples in the branch #

35 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 35 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.
