Barbados 93 to 64.
I think I know what's going on with those numbers. I was using 2 different sources
Here in Discover, https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna...view=table
China is currently 1,918
But on the Haplotree country report https://www.familytreedna.com/public/y-dna-haplotree/A
China is 1,008
I believe the discover tree is using extra sources beyond those that actually tested at FTDNA e.g. ancient samples and public studies.
It's very noticeable when you compare Italy (Sardinia)
Discover = 1214
Haplotree = 4
The overall present totals
Discover = 563,345
Haplotree = 560,878
I'd wish they would include more modern samples too, especially from so far undersampled regions. But after the Sardinian and Turkish papers, not that much was done in this direction.
