Having now analysed 400 sets of Irish Type II Big Y-700 data,? I have updated the above at

I am aware of a further about 50 results sets published since Big Y-700 was introduced which are yet to be fully analysed. Many of these kits are on the tree, though, and most will be correctly placed. I hope to work through these by the end of the year.? In the meantime, if you ensure you have followed James's instructions for depositing results in the Y-DNA Warehouse you will likewise in due course be added to his own "Experimental tree".?

With its Big Y-700 investigations, FTDNA attempts to extract data for 727 STR mutations in addition to the 111 of its Y-DNA111 test. It does not make this publicly available. For me to determine further mutations specific to your kit among these 727 loci, and present them on my Irish Type II tree on a 'third party site', I consequently require your explicit authorisation. Many of you have already provided me with this.? Where this is the case (and I have looked at your Big Y-700 data), the number of STR markers analysed will show (just above your ancestral or present surname and kit number) as:

838 (-n1)
561 (-n2)

where n1 and n2 are the number of Panel 6 and Panels 6 + 7 no calls respectively.

Where you have NOT authorised me, they will simply show as 111 (or 67 or 37).

To provide authorisation please e-mail me directly (i.e. not to the group), at ndmccarthy10 AT gmail.com, one or other of the following messages,as appropriate:

My FTDNA kit no. is [XXXXX]. I am happy for Nigel McCarthy's publicly displayed Irish Type II tree to show all relevant information extracted from my Big Y test(s) and/or any other Y-DNA testing I pursue (whatever the sources of the information) alongside my kit number and most distant known paternal ancestor (MDKA) surname. If I have not made my paternal ancestor surname available, I understand that my present surname will be shown unless its omission is explicitly requested.

OR

The FTDNA kit I manage is [XXXXX]. I have explicit agreement with the supplier of the test that Nigel McCarthy's publicly displayed Irish Type II tree may show all relevant information extracted from his Big Y test(s) and/or any other YDNA testing pursued (whatever the sources of the information) alongside his kit number and most distant known paternal ancestor (MDKA) surname. If he has not made his paternal ancestor surname available, I understand that his present surname will be shown unless its omission is explicitly requested.?I acknowledge that ‘explicit agreement’ may be or have been verbal for an immediate family member, or where a kit manager manages the kit supplied by a deceased direct paternal ancestor or brother or son, or has been named as the beneficiary on the Account Settings > Account Information > Beneficiary page of the FTDNA account. In all other cases written permission to use the account as the kit manager finds fit, or similar, must be held.

Obviously you substitute the kit number for XXXXX !

Kind regards = Nigel McCarthy
