gnomancerY chromosome (paternal line)
Haplogroup R-M343
The most common paternal lineage in Western Europe (peaking in Ireland, Wales, the Basque Country); the R-V88 branch is found in Central Africa.
How gnomancer finds it
The Y haplogroup is called from the Y-chromosome sites on your chip by yhaplo (ISOGG tree) with a second opinion from Yleaf on the current YFull, FamilyTreeDNA and ISOGG trees. Arrays type a few thousand Y sites, so the call stops at roughly this depth; Y sequencing (e.g. Big Y-700) is needed for a terminal subclade.
