New branch in Swiss-German I-Y141742 haplogroup: 2020-09-13 draft tree for I-A17273

 Click here to download our 2020-09-13 draft tree for I-A17273 

This update shows a new branch called I-Y154884, it's part of the larger I-Y141742 haplogroup (also known as I-BY89956)

I-M26 contains many branches which are found in German-speaking regions, especially in southwestern Germany and Switzerland. But I-Y141742 is probably the branch which had the largest recent expansion, I know of several people living in Switzerland who belong to this branch according to their Y37 etc. markers, and many other in the USA etc.

New branches in mostly German I-BY130413 group and in large I-CTS11851 group: 2020-09-05 tree for I-L160

 Click here to download our 2020-09-05 draft tree for I-L160


This tree shows two new branches in the uncommon I-BY130413 haplogroup:

I-BY78466 contains samples from Bavaria (Germany) and from Austria. This is maybe the only known branch of I-M26 from these areas, although other branches of I-M26 are very typical of Switzerland and southwestern Germany.

I-FT49809 contains two samples with uncertain origin: one is from Cuba and the other is American from an adopted paternal line, maybe with an English origin.

This tree also shows a downstream branch in the large I-CTS11851 haplogroup (also known as the DYS462=13 cluster). The new branch is called I-S6087 and it contains a sample with German origin and a sample with Portuguese origin.

A third sample in the rare I-FT270447/A26390 haplogroup (parent of I-FT270316): 2020-09-03 draft tree for I-S17250

 Click here to download our 2020-09-03 draft tree for I-S17250

I-FT270447/A26390 is a small branch immediately below I-S17250 (also known as I-Y3548).

There are three known I-FT270447 samples: a Big Y-700 sample from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a Big Y-700 sample which maybe has Polish origin, and a Dante Lab? sample which also has Polish origin (he is already on the YFull tree).

All three samples share FT270447/A26390.

The two Big Y-700 samples (BiH and Poland?) share two additional SNPs: FT270316 and FT269253 (we don't show FT269253 on this tree, we will add it). These two samples belong to the I-FT270316 branch, while the Dante Lab sample (Poland) belongs to an I-FT270447* branch.


Because FTDNA doesn't have access to the Dante Lab sample, FTDNA considers FT270316, FT269253, and FT270447 to be equivalent, and FTDNA's tree shows only one branch, named I-FT270316.

Because YFull doesn't include the recent Big Y-700 result with Polish origin, the YFull tree doesn't include FT270316 and FT269253. YFull's tree shows only one branch, named I-FT270447/A26390.
