Attention Data Miners: I have spent many, many hours seeking participants to collect the data, organizing the groups, and sorting this data in the various tables presented here. If you use data from this source, or use this project as a source for leads to join your projects, please acknowledge and credit your source -- Kerchner's R1b and Subclades YDNA Haplogroup Project. Thank you.
Attention Project Participants: Be sure to fill in your direct paternal line "Earliest Known Ancestor" field in the "User Preferences" section of your personal account page at FamilyTreeDNA otherwise a blank will display for that field in your entry. If you don't know the full name and details about your direct paternal line earliest known ancestor you could simply enter the surname of your direct paternal line earliest known ancestor in that field.
Click on the 'Y Results' link button above to see the R1b Project haplotype raw data table display for the project participants as supplied to this project from FTDNA's database and a world map showing the geographic distribution of the earliest known ancestors for the participants. The display in the basic 'Y Results' table/section is grouped by YSNP tested haplogroup and Predicted haplogroup groups and is otherwise not sorted. To find your kit number in the 'Y Results' table use your standard web browser 'find' or 'search' function to find in the 'Y Results' page your kit number. For various sorted views using fields such as kit number, haplogroup, and statistical analysis of the data table showing the modals, etc., see links below. Haplogroup data which has been YSNP tested and verified by FTDNA has the haplogroup displayed in the haplo field in FTDNA public project tables in the color green. Haplogroups which have not been YSNP tested, but are solidly predicted to be in the R1b haplogroup, have the haplogroup displayed in the haplo field in FTDNA public project tables in red. A few entries have been predicted to be in the R1b haplogroup or a subclade but are not predicted by FTDNA's algorithm with a high enough confidence by FTDNA. Thus they have a dash in the haplo field and no color in the public project tables until such time as they get YSNP tested or the haplogroup prediction by FTDNA increases in confidence for that haplotype. Note: All haplogroup information displayed in this project is based only on data provided by tests done at FTDNA.

Using ASD calculations, I have estimated the time to the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for the haplotypes in this R1b Project to be in the range of about 4,000 years to about 38,000 years. See these webpage papers about ASD and Population Age Estimate by Jim Cullen for more details about ASD and Estimating a Population Age:

Per FTDNA, if the haplogroup is shown in green it has been YSNP test verified. If the haplogroup is shown in red it has been reliably predicted to be R1b by FTDNA but has not been YSNP verified. If a dash is shown in the tables with colored haplogroup designations in the haplogroup column, then the R1b suggestion is not solid enough per FTDNA's algorithm to consider it a reliable prediction to assign it to the R1b haplogroup with the red color coded R1b. For these entries a YSNP test would be needed to more reliably determine the haplogroup and such YSNP test is recommended by me as this Project Admin to verify the haplogroup and also to further build the database of YSNP tested haplotypes found within the R1b haplogroup. What is the difference between a haplotype and a haplogroup? See this report: Haplotype vs Haplogroup

Compare your R1b haplotype to the R1b Project Modal Haplotype.
I have added the R1b Project's Modal Haplotype to the Ysearch.org system public database. Thus one can go there now and compare your R1b haplotype to the R1b Project Modal values and see where you differ ... and also use the Genetic Distance (GD) calculator tool at Ysearch to calculate the Genetic Distance (GD) of your R1b haplotype as compared to the R1b Haplogroup Project Modal. Here is an example for two surnames of interest to me. As you can see in the following linked to example table my Kerchner haplotype is closer in GD to the modal than is the Laudenslager haplotype. Compare Your Haplotype to R1b Project Modals Example
To make a comparison for your haplotype simply enter the R1b Project Modal Ysearch ID which is 55GU9 and your Ysearch ID separated by a comma in the designated field in the Research Tools tab at Ysearch.org. Then click on Compare or Genetic Distance button. Obviously you need a Ysearch.org User ID. But you can create a Ysearch User ID easily from your personal FTDNA account page if you were tested by FTDNA and if not, you can manually create one at the Ysearch.org website.

How to Post Queries and Ask Questions about the R1b Haplogroup:
Queries and questions about the R1b haplogroup are handled in my Anthrogenealogy Yahoo Group forum. If you do not have a current free Yahoo ID you will have to create one before or during the join process while joining the DNA-Anthrogenealogy yahoo group questions and discussions message board. Obtaining a Yahoo ID is free and joining the Yahoo Group is free. Click on this link to go to that forum: Anthrogenealogy Message, Q&A, and Info Links Board.
Learn More:
You can also learn more about the R1b and Subclades Haplogroup by visiting the R1b haplogroup folder in the 'Links' section of the DNA-AnthroGenealogy Yahoo Group. Also as part of that yahoo group, if you have been YSNP tested by any lab in addition to being YSTR tested by FTDNA, you may also add your YSNP test results from the other lab and from FTDNA to the YSNP database as part of the new DNA-AnthroGenealogy group. The YSNP database is a separate database from the YSTR database in this immediate project page table listed below. See this link to the Anthro yahoo group forum for more details about the DNA-AnthroGenealogy group:

Another interesting project:
Here is another project you may wish to consider. If your direct line ancestry traces back to German speaking ancestry which settled in America prior to 1800, you may also wish to join the Colonial USA Deutsch project.

Special Request:
Database Quality Assurance assistance is needed. The database is wide open at the moment and anyone can join whether they are paying attention to and/or understand the qualifiers or not. I will eventually add some front door screeners to be sure only R1b haplotypes can be entered into the database, either from YSNP testing or solid R1b predictions. If anyone spots a haplotype in the database as of now which obviously does not belong in this haplogroup project, please report it to me, and I will address it with the person who posted it herein and take the necessary corrective action. Thank you.
