Lineage ribbons and numbered lines
The Lineage page draws the paternal Y-DNA and the maternal mtDNA line of the person you are on this tree, ancestor by ancestor, with the haplogroup that a tested relative's kit gives each line and a status glyph on every step. Lines get a stable number: Y-1, mt-1 and so on, and the number stays with the line when its haplogroup is refined. A line nobody on it has tested is drawn empty. The tree's DNA page lists the relationship verdicts the DNA layer has reached for this tree, with the same honest states.
