I am a descendent of R. Avraham Epstein and the project administrator of the FTDNA Taunus lineage project. See: https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/taunus/dna-results. 57 of its members belong to hg R-L408 et al. About 20 additional FTDNA customers match them but do not belong to the Taunus project.
Thirteen Taunus project members tested on FTDNA's Big Y and the results can be seen by other Big Y participants.
My sub clade's four defining SNPs are R-BY96876 et al. Because none (with the exception of my fourth cousin) of the project's members can trace his ancestry back enough, we cannot identify R. Avraham Epstein's defining SNP. Known descendants who want to see where they belong on this chart should participate in FTDNA's Big Y. The current discount will be helpful.
