Kin
Where men have the most close kin on 37 markers, and where recent kin from different countries and regions live.
Where men have the most close kin #
How many kits have a man from the same country who differs from them in at most one of 37 markers: a common ancestor a few centuries back. A big country finds such a man more often just because it has more men, so every country is compared on random draws of 150 men. We sort by kin from another project so that one family project does not inflate the share. Source: the Y-STR tables of FTDNA geographic and tribal projects, countries with at least 150 kits.

Recent kin in different countries and regions #
How many young branches of the YFull Y tree (common ancestor no older than 500 years, at least two samples) join customers from two countries or regions, and how many times more often than if each country's links abroad were spread among partners at random. 5,141 such branches in total. Shown are pairs with at least 5 shared branches, at least twice the chance level, where chance is an unlikely explanation even after correcting for the number of pairs tested (Benjamini–Hochberg, 5 %). This reflects recent migration, not ethnicity.
The thicker the arc, the more shared branches. Hover over an arc or tap it.
