Re: BigY - is it worth it?
Hi Damir, Martin correctly describes your situation. I'll just add a few points. You may want to see this alternative visualisation from Family Tree DNA of what the family tree of R-BY5715 looks like:

Re: BigY - is it worth it?
Your YSeq results are quite impressive.? You now fall into a "so close, but so far" scenario. FTDNA prefers BY5715.? ?There are nine people.? There are two subclades of BY5715 and you could go 3

BigY - is it worth it?
Cheers, I need advice. Some time ago I did a Yseq test ( R1b-U106 Superclade Panel ) and got the final haplogroup FGC18842-S21728- BY5719 which I see, is the same as BY5716. I also did a Y-37 Ftdna

There are two places you can find out information about what Family Tree DNA holds about a haplogroup. These are the public haplotree and their Discover project:

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests
Hi Ray, all, The question of the reliability of SNP test results is certainly a crucial point, especially since these tests constitute more than half of R-U106+ tests in the FTDNA's database. FTDNA

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests
I would like to second what Raymond said. When I imported my Genographic 2.0 results into FTDNA (in 2016), my Y-SNP tree was littered with false positives outside of my branch. I also suspect that

Re: FamilyTreeDNA provides Y-DNA haplogroups from Family Finder autosomal tests
The chip-based testing all autosomal tests rely upon is not perfect. False positives and false negatives are known to occur within these tests. I don't remember off-hand how high this error rate is,

Thanks Iain. I have linked them all to my FTDNA tree, as painful as that tree is to work with. I'll see what I can do about getting them to upload VCF files but many of them haven't even given me

Re: Family Finder tests entering the Y-DNA haplotree
Thanks Ewenn. This has been really useful. One of my Tryon BigY project members recently did the 23 and me test and was assigned R-FGC14877 so it looks like they may be using the same chip as FTDNA.
