Four updates to I-L233 tree

Click here to download our January 10, 2018 tree for I-L233 "Western"

There are four updates, shown in red:

An American man whose country of origin is unknown (German or Irish?) belongs to I-A7111 and shares a variant with a Polish-American man: 20072181 T to G. However, this variant occurs in a repeat region and it's considered unreliable for phylogeny.

A new Big Y result is FGC56815+ and additionally shares the FGC56855 SNP with a previous Big Y.

On our previous tree we introduced the I-A19384 branch, containing three samples. On this tree we show that two of the samples are additionally Y82374+ and Y90935+. One of these men is Scottish/Irish-American and the other is French Canadian.

Finally we show a third result in the I-F25958 branch, and a more specific I-Y96354 branch. All three men likely have ultimate paternal ancestry from Scotland, and they have two different surnames. The results for Y96354 indicate that one surname is maybe a descendant of the other, with a name change at some point. But the younger surname is not very young--the man who did Big Y has multiple STR marker matches with men of his own surname, representing different immigrant ancestors to the US/Canada.
