FTDNA Y-tree branch

Haplogroup R-KMS67

R-KMS67 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 50 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Russia (Republic of Bashkortostan) (4.9% of kits), Iraq (0.2% of kits), France (0.1% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 5,300 years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 4,500 to 6,300 years ago. YFull has 55 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 5,300 years ago.

Belongs to the R-M12149 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: 39. 38 lie inside the 68% circle; half of all are within 1,410 km of the centre. The centre of the ancient finds (Russian Federation) lies 1,220 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

Olon Dov, Arkhangai, Mongolia, 792 CE R-FGC75146 — 4,370 km
Homokbánya, Nagytarcsa, Hungary, 975 CE R-KMS59 — 2,300 km
Rákóczifalva–Bagi, Szolnok, Hungary, 750 CE R-FTJ41153 — 2,220 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.

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.

Also 1 small sub-branch of under 5 kits: 2 kits in all.

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.

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: 58.

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 4,000–3,000 years ago: its sub-branches went from 12 to 20.

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.

Ancient samples in the branch #

42 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. 10 of 42 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.
