Wondering if anyone has tried to look more closely at the 6 R-P310 in Neolithic Denmark in this study? I don't if they Have Bam files. Would be interesting to know what their downstream haplogroups

Re: BigY - is it worth it?
There'd 5 of us now upgraded to the 111 level a few only at 67. At 37 level many matches we don't recognise as belonging to our surname. Will look at the next sale was 200 dollar. wrote:

Re: BigY - is it worth it?
Hi Jason, Being the first person in your Y-STR match set to upgrade can be very useful in terms of deeper ancestry, as it puts your group in a wider geographical context. For the people in your wider

Re: BigY - is it worth it?
@iain can I just clarify what you said above. If I upgrade to the big y I will be the first within my group to do so. I have been thinking about this for a while and probably will next sale. But you

Re: BigY - is it worth it?
Thanks for the answers. Ian as always professional and comprehensive, inspiring. Yes I am Croatian and It would be nice if I can contribute a little to the understanding of the history of that branch.

Re: BigY - is it worth it?
Well, Speaking of the devil (ahem, vampire), ha-ha, my own BigY test result is slowly paying off. I used to get a match before with someone from Slovenia, but now I have a newer match, one branch

Re: BigY - is it worth it?
Hi Damir, Martin correctly describes your situation. I'll just add a few points. You may want to see this alternative visualisation from Family Tree DNA of what the family tree of R-BY5715 looks like:

Re: BigY - is it worth it?
Your YSeq results are quite impressive.? You now fall into a "so close, but so far" scenario. FTDNA prefers BY5715.? ?There are nine people.? There are two subclades of BY5715 and you could go 3

BigY - is it worth it?
Cheers, I need advice. Some time ago I did a Yseq test ( R1b-U106 Superclade Panel ) and got the final haplogroup FGC18842-S21728- BY5719 which I see, is the same as BY5716. I also did a Y-37 Ftdna

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests
Hi Ray, all, The question of the reliability of SNP test results is certainly a crucial point, especially since these tests constitute more than half of R-U106+ tests in the FTDNA's database. FTDNA

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests
I would like to second what Raymond said. When I imported my Genographic 2.0 results into FTDNA (in 2016), my Y-SNP tree was littered with false positives outside of my branch. I also suspect that

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests
The chip-based testing all autosomal tests rely upon is not perfect. False positives and false negatives are known to occur within these tests. I don't remember off-hand how high this error rate is,
