A possible new branch based on Big Y-700 results: 2019-07-08 tree for I-S17250

Click here to download our 2019-07-08 tree for I-S17250

This tree shows a new branch called I-FT39645, it's part of I-A2423. There are two A2423+ men who did Big Y-700, they share three SNPs called FT39645, FT42350, and FT43555. The prefix FT indicates that these SNPs were discovered in Big Y-700 results beginning in 2019 and were named by FTDNA.

But these SNPs occur in regions that weren't sequenced by the Big Y-500 test. It's possible that some of these SNPs are equivalent to A2423, and maybe all A2423+ men share some of these SNPs. Another A2423+ man has an Big Y-500 to Big Y-700 upgrade in progress, this will help us learn the correct placement of these SNPs.

This tree also shows some SNPs that are probably equivalent to Z16971, and three additional Big Y results.

We have created a new tree for the more specific I-A2330 branch (click here).
And the more specific I-Y14612 and I-S3723 branches already have their own trees.

This I-S2703 tree shows details about Big Ys and SNPs for all branches of I-S2703, except I-A2330, I-Y14612 and I-S3723

Our first tree for I-A2330 (part of I-S2742 "Isles")

Click here to download our 2019-06-26 tree for I-A2330

I-S2703 is a large part of the I-L161 haplogroup.

According to current knowledge, everyone in I-S2703 belongs to one of two branches:
I-Y3723 which is found in Ireland and Great Britain, and which includes all of the Isles-C and Isles-D clusters.
I-S2742, which is a complex group found in Britain and Ireland, but also in Germany, Poland, Scandinavia etc.

For reasons of legibility we have created a new tree for I-A2330, it's part of I-S2742.

FT16449 seems to be an important SNP immediately below PH908: 2019-06-04 tree for I-PH908

Click here to download our 2019-06-04 tree for I-PH908

This tree shows more information about a SNP named FT16449. It's immediately below I-PH908. We included FT16449 on our previous draft tree, but with this update we show that some additional branches can be placed in I-FT16449.

Unfortunately FT16449 is inside a so-called X-transposed region which is very similar (99,5%) to a region on the X chromosome. This means that FT16449 is not suitable for individual SNP testing.

But FTDNA has already added the I-FT16449 branch to their haplotree and to their Big Y Block Tree. FTDNA has also added the I-FT14506 branch to their trees.

I-FT16449 and I-FT14506 are both part of the DYS561=16 cluster. There are several additional branches in this cluster, but no one from these branches have tested FT16449 and FT14506 because these SNPs occur in regions that weren't covered by the Big Y-500 test. See the tree for more details.

New branches and more details about FT14506: 2019-05-22 tree for I-PH908

Click here to download our 2019-05-22 tree for I-PH908

FT14506 seems to be an important SNP immediately below I-PH908. Several previously known branches can now be placed in the I-FT14506 branch. And several other branches are confirmed to be FT14506-. See the tree for more details.

This tree shows a new branch called I-BY154460, it's part of I-A22312, which is part of I-A5913. The known members of I-A22312 have paternal ancestry from Montenegro and eastern Herzegovina. The parallel branch I-A16683 prevails in eastern Europe.

This tree shows another new branch called I-FT16449, and a new sample in the I-Y56203 branch.

A branch found in Pomerania and in Shropshire: 2019-05-18 tree for I-L233

Click here to download our 2019-05-18 tree for I-L233

This tree shows a new branch called I-BY65456, it's one of 22 known immediate subbranches of I-Y4252. This branch is based on two Big Y results, one for a man with ancestry from the 1800s from Shropshire, England, and another man with ancestry from the 1800s from Pomerania which is now part of Poland (they were German speakers). The second man has STR matches with some men from a German speaking family from slightly further east in Poland, they probably also belong to I-BY65456.

At our last update we added two SNPs that seem to be equivalent to Y4252, they are called FGC56848 and Y125772.
