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

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
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
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

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
