new branch in Isles-B5: November 12 tree for I-L161

This tree shows a new Big Y result for an Isles-B5 person with likely British paternal ancestry. He is A1150+ A8742+ BY37270+ but A18003- BY37256-. There have been three previous Big Ys for the I-A18003 branch, but the new result is very distantly related, with a common ancestor who lived more than 4000 years ago.

Ken Nordtvedt identified the Isles-B5 cluster many years ago, but it's not very well defined by STRs. Probably it's better to talk about SNPs: Isles-B5 is roughly equivalent to I-A8742, and Isles-B3 is I-A8611, and I-A1150 contains Isles-B5 and Isles-B3. And I-A1150 is a major branch of I-L161, and overwhelmingly British and Irish.
