Hi Ian, I think the FTDNA business model is brilliant, but not customer friendly. Once being in the insurance industry some things stand out. The most blaring is that I notice is that the bulk of

What would be interesting to see is that instead of the lower level STR tests, they use a chip assay with all the currently known Y chromosome SNPs. Assuming it would be a lot cheaper than the Big

The DNA Geek blogger was about as wrong as you can get in their speculative 2021 article. The best evidence is all the genealogical support FTDNA provided with Discover, starting in 2022.

I know this is a long shot, given that the 1000 Genomes Project was an academic project with anonymous volunteer subjects.? However, does anyone know if there is a way to simply know what part of

?This actually happens all the time, where someone more closely related, in this case to Jason, comes along and tests positive for Jason’s previous haplogroup block, and the ancestral blocks above

Jason, With just looking at the YDNA haplotree, it appears that you have been matched to another tester who is also positive for FTE23068.? I am assuming you recently took the BigY test and were

Hello everyone, I logged into FamilyTreeDNA this morning and discovered my assigned haplogroup was changed from "FT304237" to "FTE23068". Are these types of changes/updates common? What does this mean
