New Subclade Announcement: E-BY192463

We are excited to announce the recognition of new subclade by YFull! The subclade is called E-BY192463, and it is downstream E-Y17226. Thanks to our two Big Y testers for their support and patience.  It is a two SNP subclade, defined by the SNPs BY192463 and BY192625.  With these two kits, YFull's age estimate for the TMRCA of this subclade is approximately 600 years ago. Given the small number of potenial clade-mates, this may be a fairly accurate prediction.  This subclade is associated with group  B12  in the Y-DNA results page  here . If your kit is in this group, and you would like to confirm that you are positive for the SNPs defining this subclade, please send an admin an email.  According to the countries of origin for project members in group B12, this subclade seems to be unlike most other subclades in the project. With origins in Bessarabia, Romania, and Hungary, it appears to be affiliated more with the earlier Ashkenazi...
