Key branches tree #
Tree of the main branches by YFull samples. Each branch includes all samples of its sub-branches; sub-branches are indented. Branches of at least 1% of the sample are shown; branches that only pass one child through are skipped. Age is how many years ago the branch's common ancestor lived (TMRCA), from FTDNA.
mt-branch tree #
Tree of the mt branches by YFull samples, grouped by letter. Each branch includes all samples of its sub-branches; sub-branches are indented. Branches of at least 1% of the sample are shown; branches that only pass one child through are skipped. Age is how many years ago the branch's common foremother lived (TMRCA), from FTDNA.
Distinctive branches of the people · Y #
Branches this people carries 3 or more times as often as all YFull customers together. The multiplier is in brackets. Branches of at least 5 samples are included.

Branches of this people #
Branches of the YFull tree that belong almost entirely to this people: at least 80% of samples with a reported language and at least 30 of the people's samples. Per row: the people's samples / all with a language, the share, and the age of the branch's common ancestor.
- J-FGC45769: 32 / 37 · 86% 8,200 years
Migration paths of the characteristic branches #
Paths of the people's main characteristic branches, from YFull samples that report this native language, as modelled by FamilyTreeDNA Discover, on one calendar clock: in each year a branch stands where its ancestral line was. A branch's share is of the people's samples. Grey is a stretch of path shared by several branches; the large marker is the branch itself.

Paternal and maternal lines together #
Members of this people with both lines known on YFull. For each “Y branch × mt branch” combination, how many times it occurred and how many would be expected if the two lines had nothing to do with each other. n=39
Most frequent combinations
| Y | mt | pairs | expected by chance | × | chance? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| J1-FGC1707 | R0a | 5 | 4.2 | 1.20 | could be chance p = 0.395 |
| J1-FGC1707 | J1b | 4 | 2.8 | 1.44 | could be chance p = 0.258 |
| J2a-L25 | R0a | 4 | 3.5 | 1.16 | could be chance p = 0.481 |
