N-Z16980

Equivalent branches, the same kits: N-Z17082 (405 kits, 2,600 years)

N-Z16980 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 405 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Latvia (15% of kits), Estonia (7.8% of kits), Russia (Republic of Tatarstan) (2.6% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 2,400 years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 2,000 to 2,800 years ago. The oldest of the equivalent branches, N-Z17082, split off about 2,600 years ago by Discover. YFull has 128 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 2,100 years ago.

YFull

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%.

N-Z16980: 128 samples. The common ancestor lived 2,100 years ago (1,600–2,700); the branch split off 2,600 years ago (2,300–3,000).
