Re: Family Finder tests entering the Y-DNA haplotree


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Here are two good examples that I have reviewed that are considerably far down two of our major branches, but nevertheless are haplogroups from the BC timeframe. ?I looked at these individuals¡¯ Haplotrees to see what upstream SNPs FTDNA is showing a green result for. ?Again, these are testers with NO Y SNP tests at FTDNA, but new Family Finder tests where FTDNA is now providing limited Y-SNP results coming from the otherwise autosomal chip test they¡¯re using for FF. ?They DO have FTDNA STR results, and have joined our project based on their match lists or a test elsewhere. These new Y results are showing up on Y-DNA Project Results pages with green haplogroup labels in place of their previous red R-M269 labels.

One of these examples is in our large Z8 branch, while the other is in Z326.

Both of these testers¡¯ results on their haplotrees show green positive results for some SNPs down their common line of descent, but skipping the exact same ones, as follows:

U106+, skip Z2265, skip BY30097, skip FTT8, Z381+, skip Z301, L48+, Z9+.

Then, the one in Z8 continues with Z30+, skip Z27, skip Z345, Z2+, Z7+, Z31+, Z8+, Z1+, and finally Z346+. ?They also show Z344 negative for the brother group of Z346. ?Discover dates Z346 to about 750 BC.

The other example continues below Z9 with Z331+, Z330+, Z326+, skip Z8168, FGC18842+, S23955+, skip A656, skip A657, and finally Y67920+. ?Discover dates this to 650 BC.

I¡¯ll send some more examples a bit later.

Hi folks,


A quick note to say that overnight the first batch of Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder tests has entered the haplotree. Nearly 12,000 tests have been added to the haplotree in the last four weeks, the vast majority of which have appeared since yesterday and are therefore presumably these new tests.


These are early stages, and we don't yet have the answers to a lot of questions. For example, we don't yet have a good idea of which haplogroups are included in this analysis. That will become clearer as we go through the results, as they are released. Charles is in the process of regrouping the tests with new results, and has told me it includes Z30 and Z326. Hopefully we will find out more soon.


Cheers,


Iain.
