We consider a continuous-time single-type age-dependent Bellman-Harris branching process {Z(t) : t >= 0} with offspring distribution {p(j)}j >= 0 and lifetime distribution G. Let k >= 2 be a positive integer. If Z(t) >= k, we pick k individuals from those who are alive at time t by simple random sampling without replacement and trace their lines of descent backward in time until they meet for the first time. Let D-k(t) be the coalescence time (the death time of the most recent common ancestor) and let X-k(t) be the generation number of the most recent common ancestor of these k random chosen individuals. In this paper, we study the distributions of D-k(t) and X-k(t) and their limit distributions as t -> infinity
