Hello fellow Z16357 cousins! Things have been relatively quiet around here - no new matches in quite some time. Now's a great time to recruit those STR matches of ours = Big-Y is on sale for?$475.
For Big-Y customers, you've probably seen that FTDNA has made notable updates to their Big-Y tools. There are some nice improvements (though still some issues they are working through).
FTDNA has also moved to a new Y-DNA reference - hg19 to hg38. At it's most basic level, this is an adjustment of the numeric values that are used to represent different 'markers' on the Y-chromosome. Z16357, for example, is a G to T allele change at position?22,512,912 when using the older hg19 reference, but it's G to T at position?20,351,026 using the hg38 reference. So all of the SNP and variant numbering at? will need to be updated. The new reference provides us some opportunity to find new shared or novel variants. To update my research and reference numbers, I need your updated FTDNA Results and VCF files.
Please take a few moments to download and e-mail them to me. This will be incredibly helpful to our research.
1. Log in to FTDNA. 2. Go to 3. Click "Export Results" at the top right and save the .csv file 4. Click "Download Raw Data" at the top right. 5. Click "Download VCF" at the bottom and save the .zip file. 6. Attach both the .csv and .zip files to a new e-mail and send to me off-list - jared@...
Once I have everyone's updated results, I'll analyze them, update the web site, and let you know if I find anything interesting.
Thanks!

Hi Jared, ? Thanks for the email and thanks for your analyses. ? The other file was too big. I’ll try in a separate email, but the message told me to put it in a shared location. ? Joel ? ?

Yes, still no luck with the VCF. Any suggestions? I have used the Cloud through Microsoft, but only on a limited basis and am not very familiar with it. I also have my own website, but not sure how to share files with you. ? Joel ?

Joel,
If by "Microsoft Cloud" you mean "One Drive", I believe if you store the file on your local OneDrive folder, you can "right-click" the file and chose "Share a OneDrive link".? That will but a link in your clipboard that you can paste into the e-mail.

Hi all! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and I wish you all
the best in this new year!
I'm still in need of quite a few new Build 38 files to update my
analysis. I've received Raw Data files for the following:
- J Hartley
- C Hays
- Bennett
I know there were some difficulties with the file size of the Raw Data
file, which is the critical one for my analysis. Fortunately, I've
discovered a much easier way to get the Raw Data file that doesn't
involve you downloading it at all:
1. Log in to familytreedna.com
2. Go to (or click MyFTDNA...
Big-Y... Matches)
3. Select the "Download Raw Data" button near the top right of the screen.
4. Right-click on the green "Download VCF" (NOT "Download BAM") button
at the bottom of the screen, and select "Copy Link Address". This menu
options might also be called "Copy Link Location" or similar,
depending on the browser you're using.
5. Reply to this message (or a private e-mail just to me, if you
prefer) and paste (Control or Command + V) in the long web site
address, then send to me.
It would be very helpful for our project if you could send this to me.
I also strongly encourage you to share your Raw Data file to the new
Y-DNA Data Warehouse. This will allow other researchers to analyze the
data to help build our tree. Instructions are at
You use the same copied Link
Address as above, so it's very easy to submit.
Thanks,
Jared

Hello Jared,
Happy new year and hope you are well!
It looks like the link you sent are for those who have done the Big-Y test. I haven't taken Big-Y, but I have attached an image of what is available for my download. Please let me know if any of these are useful.
Thanks, Tom

Thomas -
That is correct. This is only for those that have done the Big-Y test. If any new SNP testing looks viable for you after the analysis, I'll certainly let you know.
Thanks,
Jared

Thanks, sounds good.
btw, forgot to mention. I took advantage of some sales on other DNA testing. My 23andme test are in and waiting for Ancestry.com results.? Let me know if you are interested with these results.
Best, Tom?

I'd certainly recommend that anyone that has done autosomal testing to
upload their results to GedMatch.com. This site provides a great way
to find matches from all of the major testing companies. If you've not
used it, I wrote a tutorial that may be helpful -
It would be a good idea to check your GedMatch one-to-many list for
the surnames of folks in this group. It's most likely that our shared
direct male line ancestors are too far back to have shared autosomal
DNA from them, but it's possible we're related in other ways.
Thanks,
Jared

Hello Jared, Thomas, and everyone,
I've found the Matching Segment Search very helpful at Gedmatch.com. It's available via the Tier 1 utilities which requires a $10 fee for one month's access. It's helpful in finding others who match at the same segment
and therefore have a shared ancestor/ancestral couple. It can be tricky, however, determining which match is from which copy (maternal or paternal) of the particular chromosome unless one has a parent whose results can be "phased" against your own.
Best wishes for the new year,
Charles Thomas

Hi again, thanks for the tutorial.
I had a few reasons to try the others --
23andme: Jokingly, for several years my wife and I have disputed who had more Neanderthal DNA. She is from Eastern Europe and my maternal line is Portuguese, so with remains found in Croatia and the Iberian peninsula, we had a friendly competition. We put to rest that she indeed does have more variants, 287 and 271 for me. Over 300 is considered high and 23andme highest results were 397. However, not sure I really came out ahead in this? LOL? It also provides some health traits that I'm still looking in to. Another interesting difference I liked was the ancestry timeline. See the link provided if your interested.
AncestryDNA: It was only $54 on black Friday and I'm hoping its ethnicity estimate provides more insight than the others.
I came across this article on the differences between all the DNA studies.
