Breaking News!
New Branch Discovered Below R-M269
A Family Finder customer upgraded to Big Y-700. His result revealed a new lineage beneath R-M269 and a match in the archaeological DNA record.

R1b-M269 is the most common Y-DNA haplogroup in European ancestry, with about 40% of FamilyTreeDNA-tested males in this lineage. Arising in southern Russia 6,000 years ago, north of the Caucasus, millions of men can trace their ancestry to this lineage.
Until now, only two direct descendant lineages of R-M269 were known;
R-L23, the most populous subgroup with high frequencies in Western Europe.
R-PF7562, less common, with high frequencies in Southeastern Europe.
Now, this new tester forms a third haplogroup below R-M269, named R-FTG713

An ancient man belongs to the new subgroup. From the study “Stable population structure in Europe since the Iron Age” (Antonio et al. 2023), remains from 500 AD were found in Chhim, Lebanon.
