Carl, Thanks for taking the time to review your FTY285 data. Your information was helpful to me. Bruce

The Irish have also had many talks about DNA by folk like Maurice Gleeson over the years. Also, the current DNA Officer on the Federation of Family History Societies (FFHS) is Martin McDowell, and he

Just to add to what has already been stated. In the Terry DNA surname project of the 16 testers with Irish or reputed Irish ancestry, 13 are U.S. testers; 2 Peruvian and 1 Irish. In trying to recruit

Hi Charles It sounds to me you have done most things right to try and recruit folk in Britain - but the political situation in the UK was against you last year. We have had a major cost-of-living

That is the problem with the YSEQ testing route -- it is highly cost effective for us, but offers no incentive for potential testers. To have a reasonable chance of success, we need to offer to pay

On another topic, two responders commented that they had tried unsuccessfully to recruit testers living in the UK, even after offering to pay for their tests. In behalf of our Acree Surname Project

I did mistype the SNP in my original post. It is FTE49099 not FTE49009. This may have created confusion, and I apologize. Ed

Well, sometimes I hate it when I'm right. My two cousins have formed a separate haplogroup, leaving me (to quote a past pop song) "alone again, naturally". It really is odd to look at the block tree

Thanks Linda. I enjoyed reading your blog post. I have also tried to recruit testers from England without success even after offering to pay for the test. I have contacted just about every person that

Hi, Carl, I manage four cousins' kits in the Bryan surname project, two of them Big Y tests. Because of the matches between my two first cousins and a ninth cousin once removed--and a 5th cousin in

Bruce, I have good data for 33 BigY testers in our FGC54211 subgroup (downstream from Z18) in our BRYAN surname project. All have a value of 12. A smaller sample of 6 testers at the BY30097 level have

Have mutation rates been published for any of the Big Y-700 "bonus" Y-STRs? I am looking for information on FTY285.

Hey Bertram, Probably doesn't mean anything, but it is interesting that Farnham Royal is only 35 miles by road from my ancestral location of Crondall, Hampshire. Shane

Thanks Ewenn for this clear explanation. I didn't know the Galton-Watson process, very interesting.

Hi Shane, I confirm I am your closest match on Yfull. And I don't understand either why Yfull says we are R-Y340824 when we are located in the Yfull tree at basal R-FGC17465 and not downstream

Kevin, I was one of the first to join the Terry group. I have some Irish ancestry, but I don’t think it is paternal. I have a pretty good understanding of my paternal line back to the 1400s in

Shane. Have you joined the Terry DNA surname project? -- Kevin Terry

Just curious Shane. Do you have any Tarry or Terry Irish matches in the last 1000 years? -- Kevin Terry

Hello! When blocks on the block tree show zero matches ("DNA Matches 0"), does that mean people in those blocks have more than 30 non-matching SNPs?? Or is there another reason for blocks to show

That's what I thought but wanted to make sure I understood correctly. The match is a Verdun who I was aware of on FTDNA. It seems that YFull has found a subclade ( R-Y340824) that does not appear on
