April 2026: First Trent BigY test confirm common male ancestors between Howell Group 2 and a member of Trent Group 1. Common Male Ancestor is R-FGC23381 for Trent and Howell at Marsh Gibbon abt 1450CE M269>L23>L51>P310>L151>P312>Z290>L21>S552>DF13>DF21>Z16267>F24434>FGC23381>BY11699>FGC23377>FTE61881 (1450CE Marsh Gibbon)

Group Match Tree: Cusor over SNP for date ranges. Second Trent BigY test is in the lab to match a list of private variants remaining from the first Trent BigY test. For the most accurate BigY at least one additional and sometimes a third Bigy is needed if no previous BigY test has been done. This is known as following the rule of three when a BigY Project is first started.

Currently we only have the 1st Trent BigY test and it has unmatched PV's.
