Hello Judith.
?
I confirmed with Nigel that he never received the appropriate authorisation from you to allow public display of your father’s data. ?I will copy in here the text of the email he sends out to the individuals who have not yet given him this authorisation:
?
THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE RECEIVING THIS E-MAIL HAVE NOT GIVEN ME THE EXPLICIT AUTHORISATION (as requested in emails sent out from time to time by Elizabeth) TO DISPLAY THE OUTPUT FROM MY ANALYSIS OF YOUR BIG Y TEST RESULTS ON THE IRISH TYPE II TREE I HAVE MAINTAINED FOR THE R1b-CTS4466 PLUS PROJECT.? IF YOU WISH TO HAVE THIS DATA DISPLAYED, PLEASE E-MAIL ME ONE OF THE MESSAGES AT THE FOOT OF THIS E-MAIL , AS APPROPRIATE, IN THE NEXT 72 HOURS.
?
WHY SHOULD YOU DO IT NOW?? I WILL NO LONGER BE MAINTAINING THIS TREE IN 2020.? THIS IS LIKELY TO BE YOUR LAST CHANCE!
?
To explain a little more:
?
Many of you will be aware that I have for a number of years maintained a detailed phylogenetic tree combining my interest in the R1b-CTS4466 Plus Project and a specific group of the McCarthy Surname Study. More simply I call this the IT2 tree. Why IT2? Long ago an eminent researcher coined the identity “Irish Type II” for the ancestral and modal haplotype deduced as roughly coincident with the time of SNP S1115 (as was later identified), a little downstream of SNP CTS4466 and upstream of the SNP Z18170 which is shared by all in your haplogroup (of SNP Z18170).
?
The latest version of the tree is available in the R1b-CTS4466 Plus Forum Files at /g/R1b-CTS4466-Plus/files (you first need to join the forum) and on the McCarthy Study Wordpress website (see link below). Your Z18170 haplogroup is on sheet 12.? I HOPE TO PUBLISH ANOTHER TREE UPDATE ABOUT 13 JANUARY, BUT THIS WILL BE SPECIFICALLY TO BRING SHEET 12 up to date with all the Big Y-700 data released in 2019.? I will then only have Sheet 9 to overhaul, following which I intend to ‘retire’ the tree.
?
I anticipate then making one final issue of the whole tree, attending to errata and matters not concerning individual test results. This will be left as a ‘legacy’ on the /g/R1b-CTS4466-Plus/files site whereas a very much abbreviated, McCarthy-specific, version will be maintained on the McCarthy Wordpress site.
?
My Irish Type II tree identifies
?
(a)??? SNPs shared by two or more of you (as previous issues have shown).
(b)??? FTDNA PANEL 6 STR MUTATIONS, determined from data extracted from either your Big Y(-500) test or your Big Y-700 test (if you have taken or upgraded to this), or in some cases both (there are occasional differences highlighted by Notes 33 and 34 on the tree).
(c)???? FOR THE FIRST AND PROBABLY ONLY TIME, FTDNA PANEL 7 STR MUTATIONS, determined from Big Y-700 testing, if applicable.
?
The mutations identified at (b) and (c) supplement the ‘private’ SNPs specific to the kit you manage; the latter are not shown on the tree. These STR mutations may well be significant in your future research. However, the data underlying this analysis has not been made publicly available by FTDNA. It is referred to as ‘guarded data’ and for this reason I will not be showing it on the tree without your authorisation.? Analysis of your P6 and P7 mutations does not appear anywhere else to my knowledge, and owing to the immense amount of time required to generate it I am only able to supply it on the tree, i.e I cannot enter into one to one discussions about it other than to review / correct perceived errors!
?
THE MESSAGE YOU NEED TO E-MAIL ME IS EITHER
?
My kit no. is XXXXX. I am happy for the publicly displayed Irish Type II / McCarthy RL21 Group A tree to show all relevant information extracted from the Big Y test and/or any other YDNA testing I pursue (whatever the sources of the information) alongside my kit number and most distant known paternal ancestor surname (MDKA). If I have not made my paternal ancestor surname available, my present surname will be shown unless its omission is explicitly requested.
?
OR, if appropriate,
?
The FTDNA kit I manage is XXXXX. I have explicit agreement with the supplier of the test that the publicly displayed Irish Type II / McCarthy RL21 Group A tree may show all relevant information extracted from the Big Y test and/or any other YDNA testing pursued (whatever the sources of the information) alongside his kit number and most distant known paternal ancestor surname (MDKA). If he has not made his paternal ancestor surname available, his present surname will be shown unless its omission is explicitly requested. I acknowledge that ‘explict agreement’ may be verbal for an immediate family member (wife, daughter, son, brother or sister) or where a kit manager manages the kit supplied by a deceased direct paternal ancestor or brother; in all other cases written permission must be held by the kit manager.
?
This also applies to anyone else who can’t find their kit number included in the current version of Nigel’s tree, available as he describes in his message.? I urge all of you with Big Y results and/or 111 marker STRs tested to check to make sure you are included.? This tree is an important part of our research, and it would be a shame that it’s final version, expected in the near future, would not contain each person’s kit #/ancestral surname included.
?
If anyone has questions, please post them here.? For those of you who wish to send an authorisation response, please respond privately, rather than on-list, to ndmccarthy10@....
?
Thank you.? Elizabeth
