Rich, My haplogroup is R-FTE39986 which goes back to 1450 ce. I got 6 matches, none on the BigY, just 111. I don't recognize any of the names, or if they have trees, none of the names in the trees. Myles, I guess I'm in for some searching.
Thanks,
Mike

How old does FTDNA say your haplogroup is? If it's on the order of 1000 or more years old, that isn't unusual, I think.

Hello,
I received my BigY results yesterday and I am a bit disappointed and confused. I thought I would find my surname in the match results, but no joy. I got names that I've never heard of. I have a large tree (over 15k) and none of the names from the results are
in my tree. Of the matches that had trees, I searched them for familiar names, but no names that I recognized. Please see the screenshot attachment. The main reason for doing the BigY was to finally find out who my 3rd GGps on my father's side after 20 years
of searching.
Any input would be appreciated.
Best,
Mike
