FTDNA Y-tree branch

R-L2

R-L2 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 6,563 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Belgium (Flanders) (10% of kits), Switzerland (8.7% of kits), France (8.1% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 4,700 years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 4,100 to 5,300 years ago. YFull has 1,013 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 4,500 years ago.

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. Peoples with at least 3 samples in the branch are listed.

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.

27 small sub-branches more without a page: 175 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 1,032 kits.

Surnames #

Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 396 distinct among 1,569 kits. FTDNA gives surnames per branch only, with no country attached, so they cannot be split by country.

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%.

R-L2: 1,013 samples. The common ancestor lived 4,500 years ago (3,500–5,500); the branch split off 4,500 years ago (3,500–5,500).
