Re: Big Y Lifetime Analysis: The Myth of the Manual Review
Thank you Debbie. Interestingly, my branch is coded BY... even I testes Y-700 directly. Maybe because I split from a Y-500 tester? "Y-SNPs discovered from the Big Y-500 will have the prefix BY

Re: FTDNA Administrators Conference 2023
I¡¯ve just logged into my FTDNA account and I can access my Family Finder matches without any problem. The message is still displayed that we can¡¯t download the match list and the segment data.
Re: FTDNA Administrators Conference 2023
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

Re: FTDNA Administrators Conference 2023
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

Re: FTDNA Administrators Conference 2023
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

Re: FTDNA Administrators Conference 2023
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

Re: FTDNA Administrators Conference 2023
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

Re: Understanding Big Y Matches outside my Haplogroup
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

Re: Understanding Big Y Matches outside my Haplogroup
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]>

Understanding Big Y Matches outside my Haplogroup
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

Re: Testing statistics and country-level bias update
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

Re: The Importance of Colmar 239
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

Re: The Importance of Colmar 239
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
