Click here to download our 2018-10-20 tree for I-CTS10228

This update shows three major new branches:

--there is a new I-Y18331* branch which contains a man with ancestry from northern Greece . He doesn't share any further variants with the other I-Y18331* Big Y result who has ancestry from Zakynthos/Zante island off the western Peloponnese peninsula (southern Greece).  There is a third branch of I-Y18331, the large I-A2512 branch which contains almost entirely Greek-ancestry men, mostly from the southern Peloponnese or nearby islands.

--there is new I-Z17855* branch which contains a man with Hungarian paternal ancestry from Romania (Transylvania). There are now five I-Z17855* branches and 5 named branches below Z17855. Most I-Z17855 men have ancestry from Bulgaria and also from Greece, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine and other countries.

--one of the five named branches below I-Z17855 was discovered very recently. It's called I-BY116090 and it contains a man from Turkey who has distant paternal ancestry from the Balkans, he did a Big Y test at FTDNA a few years ago. It also contains a man from Serbia who did a whole genome sequence test at another company. Both men plan to order the YFull.com analysis

More branches for Kinley and Driscoll families, new upstream SNP Y91501--Updated I-Y12072 tree

Click here to download our October 4, 2018 tree for I-Y12072

Near the top of the tree, you can see a new Big Y result and a new branch for the Kinley family, which has paternal origin from the Isle of Man.

Near the bottom of the tree, you can see a new Big Y result and a new branch for the Driscoll family, which has paternal origin from southwestern County Cork, Ireland.

In the middle of the tree you can see a new SNP called Y91501. It seems that two major branches of I-PF4135 are Y19501+. Unfortunately most Big Ys report zero or very few reads at the Y91501 position. But Y91501 is available as an individual test at YSeq.net

Another branch for the Lindsay family: updated I-L233 tree

Click here to download our September 23, 2018 draft tree for I-L233

This tree shows the new I-BY111085 branch. The Lindsay family now has 5 known branches, and the common ancestor of these Lindsays lived approximately 1000 years ago. Even the more specific branches like I-BY111085 are hundreds of years old.

2018-09-21 draft tree for I-CTS10228

Click here to download our 2018-09-21 draft tree for I-CTS10228

I-CTS10228 (more specifically I-YP196/I-S20602 ) has four named branches:
I-Y18331 which contains the better known I-A2512 branch
I-Z17855
I-Y4460
I-S17250

For more than a year, we have shown I-S17250 in its own tree (click here)
With this update, we have now created a new tree specifically for I-Y4460 (click here)

Now our I-CTS10228 tree gives details only about the I-Y18331 and I-Z17855 branches, and the I-CTS10228* and I-YP196*/I-S20602* samples.

This update also shows a new Big Y result in I-Z17855, it's closely related to a previous result, they belong to the new I-BY66632 branch. This update also shows some new SNP details in various branches.

first tree specifically for the I-Y4460 haplogroup

Click here to download our first draft tree that's specific to I-Y4460

I-Y4460 is a major branch of I-CTS10228 "Dinaric". I-Y4460 prevails in eastern and northeastern Europe (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Baltic countries). All persons from this haplogroup are in the Dinaric North cluster. We now have created a new tree specifically for I-Y4460.

This update shows a major new branch called I-Y128456, the two known members are from Lithuania and Ukraine. This branch is not shown at FTDNA or YFull. Maybe FTDNA or YFull will chose another name for this branch.

This update also shows a new branch which FTDNA calls I-BY88077, part of I-SK1241. It's not on the YFull tree.

A fourth named branch of I-S17250: 2018-09-10 draft tree

Click here to download our September 10, 2018 tree for I-S17250

The I-S17250 branch is the most numerious branch below I-CTS10228. It prevails in the "Dinarics" from Central Europe (Poland, Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, part of Ukraine) and Southeastern Europe. This haplogroup encompasses a part of Dinaric North cluster and the whole Dinaric South cluster.

The I-PH908 branch is equivalent to the Dinaric South cluster, and we recently created a tree specifically for I-PH908 (click here)

With this update we have now created a new tree specifically for the I-Y4882 branch, click here. Everyone in I-Y4882 belongs to Dinaric North.

This update shows a major new branch of I-CTS10228 I-S17250 which FTDNA calls I-BY142076, maybe YFull will choose a new name. The two known members have ancestry from Belarus. They are not closely related, probably their common ancestor lived more than 800 years ago.

This tree also shows a new branch which FTDNA calls I-Y83661 (part of I-BY128), the two members are very closely related.

To summarize, I-S17250 contains the following known branches:
-an unnamed I-S17250* branch (Dinaric North) which contains a single person with ancestry from a Croatian island
-the I-BY142076 branch (Dinaric North) which contains two men from Belarus.
-the I-BY128 branch (Dinaric North) which is large and prevails in Central Europe
the I-Y4882 branch (Dinaric North) which is large and prevails in Central Europe (shown on the more specific I-Y4882 tree)
-the I-PH908 branch (Dinaric South) which is very large and prevails in Southeastern Europe (shown on the more specific I-PH908 tree

first tree for the specific I-Y4882 haplogroup

Click here to download our first tree that's specific to I-Y4882

Previously I-Y4882 was shown on the I-S17250 tree, but now we have created a tree specifically for I-Y4882. This group is part of Dinaric North and it prevails in Central Europe.

This update doesn't show any new Big Y results, but it shows new SNP information for many branches.
