Western-Isles is one of the only STR clusters in the I-L233 haplogroup. Western-Isles is a large group and it's only known from Britain and Ireland, mostly Britain. Thanks to an earlier Big Y for one Western-Isles man, we knew that Western-Isles was part of I-A7111. (and I-A7111 contains other British men and one Polish-American man).
Now a second man in Western-Isles has completed a Big Y. The two men share 7 SNPs and probably all Western-Isles men share most or all of these SNPs. This branch can be called I-Y138217. Because the two men share so many SNPs, we can be sure that the Western-Isles branch isn't closely related to the other branches of I-A7111.
This update also shows a second Big Y for an Irish family, the two men share L485 and six additional SNPs. Their surname indicates that they originated in Great Britain or continental Europe, but probably this family has been in Ireland for 600 years or more. The recent Big Y result has 4 private variants that weren't found in the first Big Y.

A major new branch of I-L1498: updated I-L161 tree
Click here to download our June 13, 2018 tree for I-L161
This tree shows two updates:
1) There is a new German-American Big Y result. He is A10029+ and he is ancestral for approximately 30 SNPs that were formerly considered equivalent to A10029, for example he is A10028-. He has only one name on his Y-DNA match list, and this match has a German name. This new I-A10029* branch has a MRCA of 6700 years or greater with all other known branches.
2) There is a new result in I-A10036 (Isles-B3). He is closely related to the large American Hale family, but it's unclear to me if he has a Hale ancestor, or if the common ancestor was before the era of surnames (he is not named Hale)

A new branch for Isles-B4 which contains a sample from P. Hallast study: updated I-S2703 tree
Click here to download our June 15, 2018 tree for I-S2703
This tree shows two updates:
1) There is a new branch called I-PH151. This branch is exactly equivalent to the Isles-B4 cluster, which is defined by some distinctive STR marker values, for example DYS388=11. This branch is rare and mostly found in southern England, but the Pille Hallast study (2014, Estonia Biocentre) found a sample (ire-94) in Ireland that shares the STR marker values and which has several SNPs named PH151 etc, these SNPs are shared by an Isles-B4 Big Y result. Another Isles-B4 Big Y is in progress, this one is a more distant match to ire-94

2) There is too much information on the I-S2703 tree, and we have created a new tree for I-Y14612 (click here). I-Y14612 contains the Isles-B1 cluster which is maybe entirely English in origin, but it also contains some branches from elsewhere in Europe, especially Sweden

A second I-S20602* sample and a Greek Y18331+ A2512- branch: updated I-CTS10228 tree
Click here to download our June 3, 2018 tree for I-CTS10228
For several years we have known about 5 branches of the I-S20602 haplogroup:
I-A2512
I-Z17855
I-Y4460
I-S17250
and an unnamed I-S20602* branch represented by a single Big Y result for a man with ancestry from southern Poland.
This update shows a 6th branch, another I-S20602* man who has ancestry from Germany. He doesn't share any variants below S10602 with the Polish-ancestry man, or with any of the other 4 branches.
Until recently, A2512, Y18331 and Y18332 were considered to be equivalent SNPs. But according to a recent Big Y, a man with Greek paternal ancestry is Y18331+ but A2512-. His result for Y18332 is currently unknown. So now I-Y18331 is one of the 6 basic branches of I-S20602, and I-A2512 is a subbranch of I-Y18331.
