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.
On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 1,620 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 668 distinct among 2,494 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-M417: 6,064 samples. The common ancestor lived 5,300 years ago (4,600–5,900); the branch split off 8,600 years ago (7,400–9,900).
