Phylogenetic (TMRCA) Trees...
Showing the TMRCA (Time To Most Recent Common male Ancestor) of our members.
Branch lengths show the relative TMRCA between members, and between groups of members.
McGee's Y-111 tool was used with FTDNA mutation rates, Hybid model, 75% probability
These are about 1 year old so some new members are not shown
