Haplogroup moved backwards

 

I habitually check my group projects in hopes of new matches. A few minutes ago I checked the U106 group and noticed that my haplogroup has been moved from FGC17460 back to FGC17465. Does this have anything with my upgrading from Y500 to Y700 even though I haven't received my results yet? What does this mean?

I've also paid for the Family Finder test in hopes of getting some more possible matches based on the comments around here recently.

Thanks,
Shane


Re: Confirmed haplogroup

 

OK updated this again,? kind of weirdly I put my paternal ancestor as England even though my y111 are all the states and my last known paternal ancestor was born their and came here after the revolutionary war.

I am from the UK.

Hi Jason,

I had a look at your kit. Your Y-37, Y-67 or Y-111 matches haven't taken the BigY test, so they won't show up as BigY matches. You have matches at Y-25 and Y-12, but these matches are too distant to show up on BigY and are effectively irrelevant to you anyway.

If your Y-STR matches upgrade to BigY in the future (or if new testers come along and take BigY tests) then you will probably find they are within your "terminal" haplogroup.

Re: Confirmed haplogroup

 

So results are in,? apart from 14 private variants.? Zero big y matches.

I assumed now incorrectly that the ystr match with snp difference numbers showing would have been listed.

What do you think?

Hi Jason,

Good to hear you have your results through. You can find out more about your haplogroup on Discover:

though do be a little critical of the GlobeTrekker output for now - it is still often quite far from the truth.

?

Your "terminal" haplogroup, R-FT368395, is between about 1000 and 2000 years old, but probably somewhere in the middle. We can't be more precise than that until we get more data.

?

The bad news is that this means that no-one has taken a BigY test who is more closely related to you than that. If that were the case, we would have probably expected to see them on your Y-111 matches anyway. However, we can expect to eventually find new people who are closer to you and provide more accurate dates as time progresses and more people test.

?

Your family is held in high esteem in our little world. Of the handful of tested people within your haplogroup, one is James Watson, one of the discoverers of the DNA double helix. You share a relationship at the age of R-FT368395, so somewhere between 1000 and 2000 years ago - that makes him a distant cousin, but very few people can claim such a close relationship!

?

You also share an ancestry from somewhere between 1800 and 2600 years ago with an ancient burial, Cherry Hinton 923, from Cambridgeshire. This is via the older and larger haplogroup R-FGC51269.

?

From this slightly larger haplogroup, we can start thinking about ancestral origins. This is a very difficult topic to be precise about and it's fraught with difficulty. A big part of this is because of the biases we have in testing. We can begin with the facts. Within the British Isles, the majority of R-FGC51269 appears to be English. However, there may be large continental populations of the haplogroup that are hidden due to lack of testing. You do have one German in this haplogroup.

?

Now the speculation. The combination of a German match, a predominantly English distribution within the UK/Ireland and a haplogroup structure with many of its branches splitting within the period 200-600 AD (indicative of when the population growth happened) makes me think that your ancestors were part of the Germanic communities who migrated to Britain during the Dark Ages: we used to call them "Anglo-Saxons", but the cultural net was probably rather wider than this. This assessment is very much an educated guess, so you should be clear not to treat it as either fact or even a probable conclusion, simply the possibility I think most likely.

?

Best wishes,

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests

 

Thanks John,

I hadn't thought to get the BigY numbers that way. Have you been keeping track of these?

?

The haplotree's done its update, though. We now have 111,087 BigY tests out of 529,864 haplotree members, so that's another 20,000 Family Finder tests added today.

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests

 

Hello Iain

I get the SNP tested men from the Public Haplotree, and the Big Y numbers from the A-PR2921 Blocktree.

I would update them to now, except they are both spinning just now.

Kind regards
John


Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests

 

Hi John,

Thanks for these very interesting numbers - I haven't seen them before. Where do the numbers of BigY testers and the historic haplotree sizes come from? There's a lot of useful metrics in that data...

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests

 

Hello Iain

FTDNA are giving FF Predictions (their term) in reverse order of date the result posted.
I think they have now completed back as far as 2017 FF tests.
So they have a long way to go before they start on uploads.

I find one way of estimating progress is to look at SNP tested men minus Big Y results, and compare with prior periods.
June 2021?? ?203,682 - 61,269 = 142,413
June 2022?? ?223,333 - 77,924 = 145,409
June 2023?? ?250,065 - 96,236 = 144,011
(ignoring A-L1087 Big Y results, 7>9)

Nov 2023?? ?245,254?? ?- 102,209 = 143,045?? ?-8

Dec 2023?? ?284,791?? ?- 103,363 = 181,428?? ?38,383
Jan 2024?? ?290,520?? ?- 104,392 = 186,128?? ?4,700
Feb 2024?? ?294,205?? ?- 106,465 = 187,740?? ?1,612
Mar 2024?? ?298,280?? ?- 108,927 = 189,353?? ?1,613
Apr 2024?? ?341,631?? ?- 109,528 = 232,103?? ?42,750
May 2024?? ?508,342?? ?- 111,086 = 397,256?? ?165,153

In the earlier times we were seeing the numbers of non Big Y SNP tested men bouncing around.
The general decline in the numbers shows SNP tested men getting Big Y, exceed SNP Pack results.

The extra column in the second block is the change over time.
Total 254,211 (ignoring -8) approximates FF Predictions.

Kind regards
John

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Some of us have sponsored autosomal testing of male relatives but do not always pay for their YDNA testing when it would merely confirm the YDNA haplogroup of another male in the same patriline who has already done the YDNA testing.
?
For example, my brother has done YDNA testing up to the Big Y 700 level. Two male first cousins sharing his patriline (their dad was the brother of my dad) have done Family Finder but not YDNA testing.
?
It is not exciting news to have FTDNA tell me these cousins are in the haplogroup that is already known to me, from my brother's testing.
?
For this reason, the enlarged population of men in various haplogroups will include a certain number of these not-really-novel test results.

Hi Ed,

?

The simple answer is that, unless they're in one of the matches lists of a kit you have access to, you can't. The same applies to admins too, although obviously we have more kits we can see.

?

These days there are clearer recommendations of groups to join for new and upgrading testers, and we are seeing people join the project as a result of these upgrades. So, as a project, we can make these kinds of recommendations if testers pro-actively join up as members. For more global requests to people we can't directly contact, we can engage as a group with FTDNA - we've done this in the past, but this is the tactical nuclear option, so it's probably something to be considered once the analysis is complete and we know exactly what we're dealing with.

?

Do remember though, that we can expect that a quarter of these testers are already dead and the remainder may not be sufficiently interested in Y-DNA to bother upgrading. The fraction who might upgrade will be much less than from Y-STR testing, for instance. We can't expect the doubling of overall database size over the last six months to equate to a doubling in BigY testing in the future - that will still take many years.

?

Cheers,

?

Iain.
