Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
FTDNA's Big Y match threshold is 30 YSNPs between two testers. The Big Y tester is still a valuable match though even if they are outside the threshold. I have some in my block tree page that are not

Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi! I have a question, please.? Why is there one match in the same block on the Big Y Block Tree, but that match is not listed under Big Y Matches - Big Y Matches says "Currently no matches"?? Both

Re: Ancient connections
Hi Kevin, Effectively this is saying what portion of the FTDNA database is in the haplogroup you share with this ancient individual. In this case, that haplogroup is R-FGC13326, so one in every 605

Re: Ancient connections
Hello Kevin 1 in 605 is a 0.165% chance. ie if we start with the 256,557 Modern results, and divide that by the 424 closely related men, we get a 1 in 605 chance To check 605 x 424 = 256,520 and -

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
