On our previous tree for I-L161 we showed a new branch called I-BY53880. This branch is part of I-Y13338 which is known exclusively from continental Europe (Germany, Poland, Spain and Bulgaria and in one instance, from southern Iraq.

This tree shows another  I-BY53880 result. We now show three Big Ys for this branch: two are from an American family with likely German paternal ancestry, these are both Big Y-700 results. The third person is from a different family, he lives in Germany and he has Big Y-500 results.

The new Big Y-700 tests are finding many new variants/SNPs as shown in red on this tree. But the two American men differ at only two variants. Their common ancestor probably lived in the 1700s.
