As I had recently had my results back from 23andMe I thought I¡¯d share them in case they were of interest.? A couple of years ago I upgraded my Y-DNA with FTDNA to what was the Big-Y test at the time of 500 markers. The result of this test was that I was located in a branch BY-21614 embedded within the Sheehan family name.? The result of the Y-DNA from 23andMe was A-923. My assumption had been that this would be a throwaway test however when I looked there was not a huge difference with the FTDNA result. The comparison haplotrees descending from CTS-4466 are: FTDNA 23andMe These results seemed surprisingly consistent to me especially as I was expecting much lower resolution from 23and Me. The FTDNA result can of course give much more information than just the haplogroup, with the database of Y-DNA matches, the work by Nigel McCarthy and James Kane and, as Lucas noted, the fact that one is making a contribution to research by doing a more detailed test.?
