  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 Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson process founded $t$
units of time ago. We also obtain limiting distributions as $t\rightarrow
\infty $ in the subcritical case. We may also extend our results for two
individuals to the joint distribution of coalescence times for any finite
number of individuals sampled in the current generation.
