7 small sub-branches more without a page: 69 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 10 kits.
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%.
A: 2,553 samples. The common foremother lived 17k years ago (16k–19k); the branch split off 20k years ago (20k–20k).
