My view is the FTDNA tree has a serious deficiency in the sophistication department. In my experience, using the MyHeritage tree is slightly better with more bells and whistles, but my main beef is I

I am not even able to pull up matches currently. My father and mother each have over 4000 family finder matches. I work on a family at a time (currently trying to sort out the Jennens/Jennings family

Linda FTDNA announced at their conference that they will in future be using MyHeritage trees though they didn’t provide details or give a timeline. However, I presume that as part of that process

What in the world happened to FTDNA trees? I can remember at one time being able to complete linking on a new test taker's tree to all the folks who had tested before. But at present I have a new test

Debbie, I am thinking similar to you about MyHeritage trees. I know mine is just a basic pedigree since I have the free version of MyHeritage. Its a real loss to lose the data in our FTDNA trees, as I

Hello All FTDNA are now offering an extraordinary discount on Big Y-700 tests for those with Big Y-500 results. Now just $119 a SAVING of $90 on top of the usual half price Big Y-700 Remember it is

Hi Mark, A quick and hasty reply... The lack of matches is due to the distance of your closest relationship with other testers. Apart from your cousin, your closest relationship is at R-Y8604, 24 SNPs

If your 3 “matches” are STR matches it is because STR matches are fickle due to parallel, back, and rapid mutations. STR matches always include some degree of uncertainty. [email protected]>

When I took the Y-37 test in 2016 I had no matches at 37 STR or above. Upgraded to 111 markers, no joy. In 2019 a remote cousin appeared at 111 (6 steps) so we took the Big Y 700 test. We match on

Hi Iain, folks, Thank you for this inventory and your observations, which are as interesting as they are relevant. I would like to associate some maps, which, at least I hope, can somewhat graphically

Hello Iain Your post was so interesting, that I took the liberty of posting it to the England GB EIJ project; which is always very active.

Thank you Iain for this insightful opinion. Indeed, FTDNA does not seem to have completely succeeded in erasing prediction errors due to bias in its databases. An illustrative example of these

Thanks, Iain.? I have already sent feedback to FTDNA concerning the Globetrekker issue, because it is so unrealistic in it's placing anything before S3997 on the coast of Britain.? Personally, I

If I have the geology of the English Channel correctly, the Channel was formed ca 6000 years before present, so an ancestor of Colmar239 could have crossed the channel area before 6000 ybp or taken a

Thank you Iain! This is reminiscent of several discussions and conversations in my neck of the aDNA woods over the last several years. We are fortunate to having these analyzed remains, but they have

Hi Ed, I don't know that there's been a lot of talk specifically about Colmar 239, but if you're basing your origin estimates off Globetrekker, then you're in for a bad time. Globetrekker effectively

Analysis of the DNA of ancient remains of a man believed to have been associated with the La Tene culture in Haut-Rhin, France, and known only as Colmar 239, reveal that he was descended from the

Hi Roy, A new post on the FTDNA blog which deals precisely on this: https://blog.familytreedna.com/gothic-origins/ Cheers, Ewenn
