R-L48 R1b-L48
R-L48 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 11,574 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Belgium (Flanders) (14% of kits), Barbados (14% of kits), Netherlands (13% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 4,500 years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 3,900 to 5,100 years ago. YFull has 1,154 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 4,600 years ago.

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.
3 small sub-branches more without a page: 100 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 837 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 644 distinct among 2,970 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-L48: 1,154 samples. The common ancestor lived 4,600 years ago (4,000–5,200); the branch split off 4,600 years ago (4,000–5,200).
