About us
Welcome to the website of the R-Z56 and Subclades Project.
R-Z56 is a major subclade of R-U152. Currently it has 9 main sub branches;
BY3548>Z43>Z145
BY3548>Z43>Z46/S47
BY3548>Z43>BY3538
BY3548>Z43>FT15337
BY3548>Z43>FT412152
BY3548>BY84536
BY3548>FT67350
BY3548>FT375512
Z56>FT251936
In total R-Z56 has 295 downstream branches (July 2023). As more people do the Big Y-700 test, more branches will be added to the tree.
The main purposes of this advanced research project is the expansion of the R-Z56 and Subclades Phylogeny by the discovery of new SNPs, the study of their point of origins and their probable migration routes.
WHO CAN JOIN: Anyone who has been found to be R-Z56 or downstream SNPs by FTDNA or has been tested for Y STR markers by FTDNA and his R-Z56 or downstream SNPs status was confirmed by another testing lab. If you have yet to be tested R-Z56 but believe you could be, you are invited to contact one of the administrators about participating in the project.
This is a public project. The more of us who test and share our information, the more we will all know.
