Abstract

We investigate the distribution of the coalescence time (most recent common ancestor) for two individuals picked at random (uniformly) in the current generation of a continuous-time Bienaymé-Galton-Watson process founded t units of time ago. We also obtain limiting distributions as t → ∞ in the subcritical case. We extend our results for two individuals to the joint distribution of coalescence times for any finite number of individuals sampled in the current generation.
