Third Big Y for an Isles-B3 family: updated I-L161 tree

Click here to download our 2018-09-12 tree for I-L161

This tree shows a third Big Y result for an American family with roots in colonial Virginia. Two of the men share two SNPs that are absent in the third man. Probably further Big Y tests, and SNP testing by other men, could sort the family into several branches and help find a branch for their STR matches of other surnames, or their matches who lack good information about their ancestors

This family belongs to I-Y24829 (also called I-A8611). This is Ken Nordtvedt's Isles-B3 cluster which has some distinctive marker values including DYS392=12. I think all known members of I-Y24829 have British or Irish paternal ancestry. YFull calls this branch I-BY1236 and only 2 of the 7 Big Ys for this branch are on the YFull tree.
