A second I-S20602* sample and a Greek Y18331+ A2512- branch: updated I-CTS10228 tree

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.

A new Greek branch of I-Z17855: updated I-CTS10228 tree

Click here to download our May 3, 2018 tree for I-CTS10228

This tree shows a new branch called I-A21934, both known members have Greek paternal ancestry, but they are not closely related, and they are not close STR marker matches. I-A21934 is part of I-Z17855, in general I-Z17855 prevails in Greece and Bulgaria but it is also found in other places.

A new German/Danish branch of Dinaric-North and new SNP names: updated I-S17250 tree

Click here to download our May 3, 2018 tree for I-S17250

This tree shows the new I-A21278 branch, which contains two known families: one who lives in northeastern Germany, and another which which has members in the USA and Denmark with origin from Holstein (Germany/Denmark border area).

This tree also shows some additional Big Y results, and new SNP names, all indicated in red.

A very old Scottish family: updated I-L161 tree

and click here to see some recent comments about the I-L161 haplogroup

This updated tree shows a new branch (in red) that is part of I-A10028. The I-A10028 branch includes three Big Ys for a Scottish origin family (named Lowther/Lauder), represented by kits 311055 and B101899, and another kit which is not part of the I-P37 project.

Based on the high number of unique variants, YFull estimates that the common ancestor of the Lowther/Lauder family lived 1050 years ago. (this is based on only 2 of the 3 Big Ys)

This update also shows many new SNP names for various branches of I-L161, indicated in red.
