Re: Renaming R-F110 to R-FGC36619
Thanks Wendy.? I should also have mentioned Jenny Grillet's Edward Schultz.? He is F110+ but FGC36619- so would remain R-F110 if FTDNA are able to reassign the DF21>DF5 F110's using another of their

Renaming R-F110 to R-FGC36619
Larry Brett (Wendy Morse's uncle) and I are currently assigned to haplogroup R-F110.? Most Y-DNA SNPs which are used to define haplogroups have occurred only once in the history of mankind and so can

Hi Edward - I noticed him too but don’t know if there is any way to contact him. It would be good to find out more. I am traveling at the moment but hope to get back to S16264 matters when home

Hi Everyone - Have I noticed a new S16264+ kit at yfull.com, ID YF108578? I'm not sure if this a genuinely new result, or if perhaps has somebody that we already know has recently submitted their

Re: Welcome … and a Matches request
Nigel - Attached is the block tree I see at FTDNA for my Big Y 500.? Nothing new that I am aware of. I've had a number of new STR matches, but I don't believe there is anything new there either.?

Re: Greetings
That is interesting. Thrulines has predicted some distant links for me too. It is powerful technology but can be thrown by people inputting accurate trees. Unfortunately that is not always the

Sorry, I'll stop now... but imagine when you can bridge to Sandy Mocilan's other faint contacts that might bear "Hammond" centimorgans that I've lost. Hell, for all we know now, Sandy Mocilan may

Re: Greetings
There's my best Hammond example of a nice machine learning match. I would never have been able to link Sandy Mocilan to myself on the basis of a tiny genetic match (10cm) with anything less than her

Re: Greetings
On a slightly different note, have you noticed how AI / machine learning seems to be producing some pretty interesting results at ancestry.com?? I'm not crazy about yet another pay site, but I've
