E-Y14891 (AB-005) Project

We are extremely happy to announce the recognition of another subclade by YFull! The subclade is called E-FT41690, and it has split multiple subclades downstream E-Y18621.  E-FT41690 is a subclade unlike all the others because it is defined by a SNP that was not found by Family Tree DNA's old Big Y and Big Y-500 tests, but rather in its new Big Y-700 test. That means that all Big Y tests before Big Y-700 did not even look at the location where the SNP FT41690 exists. What E-FT41690 has done has split around half of the subclades that were under E-Y18621. See here what E-Y18621 looked like before the E-FT41690 split. Now, see how E-FT41690 changes E-Y18621. Subclades E-Y135415, E-A18889, E-A16692, and E-A12255 have now been found to be downstream E-FT41690, and we have also identified someone who is E-FT41690*. The age estimate for E-FT41690 is the same as its parent E-Y18621: 1050 years before present, or 950 CE. This is a well-tested date within E-Y14891/AB-005...
