Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
|
Hi, all!
Thank you, John and Iain, for the information you've shared with me!??
John - if I understand correctly, the X in the non matching variants column means the two kits have greater than 30 non matching variants.??
My follow up question is - what is the cutoff for being shown as a match on the block tree?? The match that has X in the NMV column shows up as a match in the block tree.? It's confusing to me that the match is considered a match one place - in the block tree, but not in another - the match list. So the two reports must have different cutoff thresholds?
Iain - I so appreciate your offer, but I don't want to trouble you unnecessarily?with looking at the kit - I have a query in to FTDNA, and hopefully they can clear up the analysis of this kit compared to the Big Y match.
With much appreciation,?
Mary

Hello Mary It is not often (in fact a first) that I can elucidate in respect of an Iain McDonald answer. An x in the NMV column always means more than 30 NMVs, and is only ever shown where you have Y37/67/111 matches with someone with Big Y results. Hello Iain It is not the first time we have seen shading below Big Y blocks. I am hoping that as on other occasions it will revert back to what we usually see. Probably hoping a bit too much that it might herald some enhancement. Maybe the display of academic and other 'hidden' results. Kind regards John

Hi all - apparently FTDNA have taken away the average number of private variants from each haplogroup on the Block Tree. The teal-coloured blocks that used to denote these have been replaced throughout by hashed-out boxes.
Mary - happy to look into your kits, but I'll need the kit numbers - feel free to send me them privately. The "x" either means there are no mis-matching variants (say, if you have a match within your immediate family) or that data is absent due to some error. If you've already written to FTDNA, they'll be able to give you a more authoritative answer than I can.
