Hi all,
According to discover,
"O-F560's paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor O-M307 and the rest of mankind around 8050 BCE.
The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 7400 BCE."
I was then told in an email from FTDNA rep, that I have: "109 Private Variants waiting to be shared by other testers! I don't think there will be any more testers from my region any time soon!"
And then I've asked about this in the FTDNA's forums and here's one of their expert replies:

"109 is certainly the most I’ve ever seen.
But I usually meander through testers from Western Europe. I’ve seen as many as 50 NMVs to an adjacent branch but not sure how many were Private.
I have a grand total of One PV.
My 5th cousin has zero.
You are certainly a Pioneer of your branch. Hopefully you will get someone soon to do some breaking up of that block.
You mentioned your b-I-law in other posts. Try him out on a FF. Or if he has tested elsewhere do the YSeq Clade Finder for free."
Anyhoo, anyone care for any comment or discussion on the matter, it is so exciting. Most welcome please :)
