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.
1 small sub-branch more without a page: 1 kit. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 11 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 789 distinct among 3,776 kits. FTDNA gives surnames per branch only, with no country attached, so they cannot be split by country.
