I received my fathers Big-Y results yesterday and there are 13 matches and 14 unnamed variants, Haplogroup is R-Y1392 (equivalent to R-Y2902 at YFull).
Of all matches, 5 are in the same Haplogroup as me and the rest in downstream Haplogroups.
For each match I'd like to find out if there are shared unnamed variants with my father's results and which they are. This is a simple and obvious question, but I only found a complicated and error-prone way to do it:
For each match I checked which of my (really my father's but for simplicity I say my) unnamed variants would be in the "Non-Matching Variants"-box for the match. If they are not there, the match could have a no-call in that position or we could have a shared unamed variant. To find out, I open the "Shared Variants"-box for the match and look up the position (Navigation in this box is annoying, mainly since there's no possibility to filter for the position name and there are > 300000 entries...). When I don't find the position there, it must mean that this was a no-call for the position; if it's there, then we have a shared unnamed variant.
Is the described method a feasible way to find shared unnamed variants for matches? Is there a simpler way to do it? (there *must* be!).
For one match, I found three shared unnamed variants. There are still 27 Non-Matching Variants listed, birth place of ancestors is 1.400km apart, and the surnames match only on the first letter - most likely transscription from Cyrillic alphabet by the match . But I guess these variants would be good for a sub-branch in the BigY Tree or YFull Tree.
