Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi Ewenn, The private variants list is essentially stripped straight out of the VCF file, from what I can tell. Private variants will gradually get replaced with named SNPs, which will lead to changes

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi John, Indeed, the cohabitation between bigY500 and bigY700 tests does not seem very ideal. Imagine if we had to move to a T2T reference and long reads tests... Coming back to the Private Variants

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hello Ewen <mutations can sometimes be deleted from the list of PVs associated with a kit, without this being reflected on the associated bigY match(es) If I am reading your post correctly, this is

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi, all! Thank you, John and Iain, for the information you've shared with me!?? John - if I understand correctly, the X in the non matching variants column means the two kits have greater than 30

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi Mary, Several answers have already been provided to you by other members, more competent than I am, and FTDNA should shed more light on the issue you are having with these kits. Therefore, what

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hello Mary It is not often (in fact a first) that I can elucidate in respect of an Iain McDonald answer. An x in the NMV column always means more than 30 NMVs, and is only ever shown where you have

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi all - apparently FTDNA have taken away the average number of private variants from each haplogroup on the Block Tree. The teal-coloured blocks that used to denote these have been replaced

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi, all! Thank you, Iain, for your reply and suggestions - and for your offer to look at the kit.?? Both kits are old - a few years old.?? There are no Big Y matches at all, which makes it easy to

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi Mary, If the match isn't shown on your list of BigY match, you can't check the number of mis-matching variants. Overall, this is an issue that doesn't look like it should occur, but which we've

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hi, all! Thank you for your reply, John!? What I find conflicting is that the match shows up - by name - in the block tree, but isn't listed in the Big Y matches.? I would think that if they are

Re: Match on block tree but not listed as Big Y Match
Hello Mary Big Y matches are restricted to those with 30 or less non matching variants. Blocktree matches start with Y37/67/111 matches that do not make the cut, followed by the Big Y matches. You

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
