New Subclade Announcement: E-A22300

After a long while, we are finally able to announce the establishment of the subclade E-A22300 on YFull! This subclade is downstream E-Z36149, technically also downstream E-BY20365. 

E-A22300 has been established on YFull by two Big Y testers, as well as a sample from PGP, an open-source scientific initiative. Many thanks to these individuals for their help!

It is a three-SNP subclade, defined equally by having the SNPs A22300, A22301, and A22302. 

This subclade is one of the youngest on YFull, with an estimated TMRCA of only 150 ybp (475 - 75 ybp @ 95% confidence). Considering there is a genealogy in the lineage traced to the early 18th century in Germany, the TMRCA has to be at least 300 ybp. Given the historical narrative, as well as multiple WAJ members of this subclade, we predict that the MRCA of this subclade lived somewhere in modern Germany, specifically the Rhineland. 

E-A22300 is associated with group A00 in the project subgrouping here. If your kit is in this group, and you want to confirm that you are in this subclade, please let an admin know!

In addition to the multiple WAJ members, there are several EAJ members, including members with 18th century genealogies in Lithuania and the Czech Republic. There are also a few members from the historical province of Galitzia as well. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments regarding E-A22300, and thank you for your support of our project!
