Re: Family Finder tests entering the Y-DNA haplotree

 

I¡¯m going to provide a few more examples so the members can get an idea of how far down the lines some of these FF Y designations go.

This example in Z8 is from an FF test from April 2021 that has now been updated to include a Y result. This tester had a previous old upstream SNP Pack result that placed him at Z8. But his FF Y update takes things further. His Haplotree now shows him Z8+, skip Z338, Z11+, Z341+, Z12+, Z8175+. R-Z8175 is Discover dated to 450 BC.

This is my particular SNP path. This morning my father (B573209) just had his family finder SNP results post (He is in the R-U106 project). Despite the B prefix on the kit, this is a family finder test that was completed in the last few years.

His assigned haplogroup is now R-P310.

He is confirmed through Nebula testing to mirror my results which are: S5520>FGC11662>FGC11672>FGC11674>FGC11685> FGC11677.

I only mention all of this to demonstrate these results may not have consistent depth provided.

I can see this happening.? Obviously not with uploaded kits only their own ff test results.

Re: Family Finder tests entering the Y-DNA haplotree

YES! ?I¡¯ve seen an example this morning of a tester who only has a 67 marker Y test, and Family Finder. ?He now has a CTS12023 Y haplogroup designation from his FF test.

When I look at another member in CTS12023¡¯s 67 match list, this FF-designated new CTS12023 result shows up on the other CTS12023 member¡¯s match list with his tests from FF and 67 markers, and his Y-haplogroup as R-CTS12023.

However, keep in mind that these new FF-designated Y haplogroups are mostly showing up as between 2000 or 3000 years old. ?So matching someone¡¯s STRs who shares a haplogroup with you that far upstream would not be too likely, since there¡¯s been a long time for each of your STR haplotypes to diverge beyond FTDNA¡¯s limits.

In this particular case, CTS12023 is Discover dated to 700 BC. ?

CTS12023 is an immediate subgroup of Z18, and the FF tester is now showing positive for both on his Haplotree.

Hi folks,


A short update. I'm comparing the haplotree as of 10th November against today's. This will therefore partly confuse the changes that have happened over the last couple of days as Family Finder tests have been added with the slower addition of BigY tests that have happened over the last month. Most of the increases, however, will be from the FF tests.


The number of R-U106 has increased by 1124 testers (5.4%), while the number with listed European origins for their paternal earliest known ancestors (EKA) has increased by only 192 (2.1%). This would largely appear to be because people who have only taken autosomal tests have not specified their EKA, and we are relying on people who have taken Y-STR tests and entered this information.


Of the 1124, 1088 have been given a haplogroup within R-U106. We can see proportional (~5%) increases in the number of people within all the major R-U106 haplogroups: R-Z2265, R-Z18, R-L257, R-Z156, R-DF96, R-DF98, R-S1688, R-L48, R-L47, R-Z9, R-Z326, R-FGC910, R-Z8, R-Z341, R-Z1 and R-Z343.


It's difficult to assess at the moment exactly how many SNPs within R-U106 have seen this growth. As an indication, I have looked at my own line:

R-DF98 increased by 4.9% from 926 to 971 testers.

R-S1911 increased by 4.9% from 286 to 300 testers.

R-S1894 increased by 7% from 157 to 168 testers.

Within R-S1894, it's hard to make definite statements, but SNPs from R-S4004, R-FGC14814 and R-FGC14840 appear to be present, so this is reaching quite a long way down the tree, suggesting that a significant amount of at least the main tree structure can be sampled.


As more tests come in, we will have more of an insight.


At the moment, testers who have received R-U106 results should probably be encouraged to join the project. Even if they do not have any Y-STRs yet, their EKA information (if they have filled it in!) is useful information for analysing members around them.


Cheers,


Iain.

Re: Family Finder tests entering the Y-DNA haplotree

 

Hello

FTDNA said they would start with batches of 3,000; however some of the men already have SNP Pack and/or Big Y results.

It appears that the first batch increased the number of SNP tested men by a nett 2,207 men, which suggests 26% already there.

The next increase in number that I noted was 8,826; so maybe they were from the next 4 batches totalling 12,000 FF results.

They began with recent results, and already I have seen some from late last year.

Huge improvement on R-M269, so hopefully more will be encouraged to test further.

Kind regards
John

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.

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.

We do have new members joining the project today, clearly based on their new FF result with Y SNPs.

Hi folks,


A short update. I'm comparing the haplotree as of 10th November against today's. This will therefore partly confuse the changes that have happened over the last couple of days as Family Finder tests have been added with the slower addition of BigY tests that have happened over the last month. Most of the increases, however, will be from the FF tests.


The number of R-U106 has increased by 1124 testers (5.4%), while the number with listed European origins for their paternal earliest known ancestors (EKA) has increased by only 192 (2.1%). This would largely appear to be because people who have only taken autosomal tests have not specified their EKA, and we are relying on people who have taken Y-STR tests and entered this information.


Of the 1124, 1088 have been given a haplogroup within R-U106. We can see proportional (~5%) increases in the number of people within all the major R-U106 haplogroups: R-Z2265, R-Z18, R-L257, R-Z156, R-DF96, R-DF98, R-S1688, R-L48, R-L47, R-Z9, R-Z326, R-FGC910, R-Z8, R-Z341, R-Z1 and R-Z343.


It's difficult to assess at the moment exactly how many SNPs within R-U106 have seen this growth. As an indication, I have looked at my own line:

R-DF98 increased by 4.9% from 926 to 971 testers.

R-S1911 increased by 4.9% from 286 to 300 testers.

R-S1894 increased by 7% from 157 to 168 testers.

Within R-S1894, it's hard to make definite statements, but SNPs from R-S4004, R-FGC14814 and R-FGC14840 appear to be present, so this is reaching quite a long way down the tree, suggesting that a significant amount of at least the main tree structure can be sampled.


As more tests come in, we will have more of an insight.


At the moment, testers who have received R-U106 results should probably be encouraged to join the project. Even if they do not have any Y-STRs yet, their EKA information (if they have filled it in!) is useful information for analysing members around them.


Cheers,


Iain.


Re: Family Finder tests entering the Y-DNA haplotree

Another example is from a tester who DID already have a Y SNP result from an upstream SNP Pack test, that placed him in our L48 group. ?But his FF test Y result shows him Z31+, which is downstream from L48, and also Z8 negative. ?So FTDNA now shows him as Z31+ and I¡¯ve moved him down into his new group.

So this example is an indication of what I think we want to see in a case like this, where FTDNA is changing the previous upstream Y SNP result to a new result downstream, based on his confirmed Z31+ result from the FF chip. ?He¡¯s also shown positive for the SNPs in between L48 and Z31, exactly as shown in my previous examples. ?Plus they¡¯re adding in his Z8 negative result to help confirm his position. ?Unfortunately, they¡¯re not showing a result for anything down the line of the Z8 brother group FGC902.

Re: Family Finder tests entering the Y-DNA haplotree

Hi Iain, all,
?
Thank you Iain for this interesting information.
?
On the tiny R-S19589 branch downstream R-U106, a new tester, of unknown origin, has recently appeared (R-FGC57423 - TMRCA ~574 BCE). I assume this new tester belongs to this batch of FF/Y-SNP tests. Even though this isn't the true terminal haplogroup, it looks promising to me. Hopefully these newcomers will communicate data on the origins of their EKA (country of origin, location of the EKA / SNP Map). We will see.
?
It should be possible to compare the evolution of the number of testers per haplogroup compared to older versions of the FTDNA's Y-DNA Haplotree. There is indeed a high probability that the increase in the number of positive testers for haplogroups with relatively old TMRCAs is linked to these FF/SNPs tests.
?
Cheers,
?
Ewenn

[Edit]

I¡¯ve quickly write some python code to compare version 2023/12/01, to version 2023/12/06, of the FTDNA¡¯s Y-DNA Haplotree. I¡¯ve only compared basal kits (all the positive testers whose haplogroup is not more refined) and basal bigY.

?

I observe differences in just over 160 haplogroups downstream of R-U106. The results of this comparison (I ranked differences in descending order) - Please note: these differences are not necessarily due to FF/SNP testers:

Re: Family Finder tests entering the Y-DNA haplotree

 

I know that one of the tests was my uncles. He was moved to R-S15510.

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.
