R-L44
Equivalent branches, the same kits: R-FGC8034 (672 kits, 4,200 years)
R-L44 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 672 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Luxembourg (3.1% of kits), Belgium (Flanders) (2.0% of kits), France (Alsace) (1.4% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 4,000 years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 3,400 to 4,600 years ago. The oldest of the equivalent branches, R-FGC8034, split off about 4,200 years ago by Discover. YFull has 76 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 3,500 years ago.
Where it is found #

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.
2 small sub-branches more without a page: 5 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 92 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 66 distinct among 237 kits. FTDNA gives surnames per branch only, with no country attached, so they cannot be split by country.

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-L44: 76 samples. The common ancestor lived 3,500 years ago (2,900–4,100); the branch split off 3,900 years ago (3,400–4,400).
