Chris,
Thank you !!! What an amazing collection of data that easily becomes a window into our shared journey through time. I have not stopped feeling the awe of looking at it.?
I could not have transferred my brother and Roy¡¯s kits without your generous help by actually doing it for me. And, now I can see on this new database how my brother has moved down the Ytree. Even if it is just a bit or more any step closer to present time is amazing. I¡¯m now motivated again to find more cousins to test!!
A question Chris....? What impact to the research on our S6881 lineage will there be if not all our S6881 men transfer their kit data over to the DataWarehouse. My understanding is that this is now where Dr Iain McDonald will do the data analysis including the age analysis from now on. Is that correct?? Can you say more about that??
Again, thank you so much Chis for all you are doing for us. Your expertise is such a great help and contribution to each of us. And, thank you for continuing to encourage and educate me. We are blessed to have you to guide us.
Bravo!
Cynthia?

Hi everyone!
We haven't had an updated S6881 tree for quite some time now. Ours has always been based on the U106 group's tree but since they won't be producing a new analysis for a while I decided to see what I could come up with. Using the data from the BigY matches on FTDNA, the old U106 tree and Alex Williamson's Big Tree I've come up with what I believe to be pretty close to our current state. I've even found a few of you some new matches! I've brought these new matches to the attention of the admins in the U106 group and we're going to wait a bit to see if FTDNA catches up with us and adjusts your haplogroup. But some of you have already had your position adjusted in the U106 group STR spreadsheet and are now placed with your new match. Some others of you are going to have to wait for FTDNA. I've uploaded a copy of the tree I came up with to our Files section and anyone who wants to can check it out.
A little bit of an explanation though - the tree is quite a bit larger now than it used to be, but that is good. It means we have a lot more testers and more matches. Not everyone on this tree belongs to our S6881 group or even our U106 group. But they have turned up as matches in BigY. I've also used some Y Elite testers in our tree to help you find where you sit with those around you. If you've only tested individual SNPs or SNP packs you'll have to look on the tree for someone who has a haplogroup near, or the same, as yours to see where you would be. This Excel spreadsheet has the tester's name at the top of the column and their last matched SNP at the bottom of the column in red. In most cases this will match your FTDNA haplogroup but for some we'll have to wait for them to update yours. You'll see all the SNPs our group shares in historical order starting with U106 at the top on down to the newer SNPs and where we branch off from each other. Some of the groups of SNPs will have a bold box around them. This marks a block of SNPs where we don't know exactly what order they come in as everyone in that group has tested positive for them to this point in time. Every now and then someone comes along who tests negative for some, but not all, of the SNPs in the block and the block gets broken. We're lucky and have had a block broken for us recently. The more people who test, the more blocks will get broken.
If your name is in red at the top of the sheet it means that your updated Hg38 data hasn't been uploaded to the Big Tree yet. New SNPs have been found in this data so we would love to have everyone who tested BigY before last fall to upload their data so it can be analyzed for possible new SNPs. The BigY data that came out from this last fall on to today is already in the Hg38 version but we have some of these new testers who haven't uploaded that data either. I'll try to email people and see if they'll be willing to share their data. If you want help with the process of locating your data and uploading it to the Big Tree please contact me. I've helped upload data for quite a few people.
I've also included in the tree the last aging data we had from Iain (far right column). It's from December 2017 so it's a little old now. New SNP matches won't have been aged by Iain yet as he is still working on a new process. But I thought you might like it there for reference.
Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you find it useful.
Chris
