Batch 534

[engisdene]

I have a Family Finder test in this batch. Expected date: 05/11/2013.

[Wojciechowski]

Interesting. I have two family finders and MFS in this batch with the due date November 14 for all of them.

I thought these would be in batch 533. Did the batch calendar form skip 533?

I have a Y-67 to Y-111 in this batch. It's not currently useful here on FTDNA because my closest matches are only Y-37. However, it is useful on Ancestry.com, where you can manually enter your Y or mt info. The Ancestry Y test (either 33 or 46 markers) uses some different markers than FTDNA; the Y-67 will cover most of them, but the Y-111 will get about 10 more. I'm trying to track down who my father's father is, so I want to cover all my Y-DNA bases.

Where do you enter your Y-DNA on ancestry.com? I looked a few weeks ago to do so and couldn't find a way to do that. I am a paying member on ancestry too.

Ancestry is flaky right now, so I can't give you the exact steps. Basically, log in, and at the top, use the DNA menu. In one of the choices (DNA Results?), there is a link to manually enter the Y and mt information. About an hour or so after doing that, my matches were available.

I highly suggest triple-checking what you enter. I had found that I made 2 or 3 input errors when I did it. Furthermore, I found my closest match on FTDNA on Ancestry, and was surprised that the match was so close on FTDNA but distant on Ancestry -- it turned out that they also had made 3 input errors.

Thanks Taed for the ancesrty.com information. Are you saying that FTDNA made three input errors in your Y-DNA findings? If so, how where you able to determine that fact? Both times I have downloaded my y-dna12 and y-dna37 from FTDNA to YSearch, a value (15) for DYS 19b shows up on ysearch while DYS19b shows a Null result on FTDNA. This makes me feel uneasy as with all the testing FTDNA does I am sure some input mistakes are bound to happen.
Thanks again for your help,

When I entered my Y-DNA results at Ancestry.com, I entered it manually -- it is not like YSearch where the values are prepopulated by FTDNA. I'm saying that I selected the wrong number on Ancestry.com, namely when I did the input, I made an error. I caught the error when double-checking that I entered it correctly.

DYS-19b should be entered as "-" in your case, if that's not what you're doing.

One of my friend`s population finder in yesterday. But mine not yet.

[Nishakey29]

I have my dad's Y-12 and mtdna test in this batch.

[Jeremy]

I'm in this batch, these are my expected times


Y-DNA1-12 Markers 534 11/2/2013
Y-DNA13-25 Markers 534 11/16/2013
Y-DNA26-37 Markers 534 11/16/2013

Those dates come out on a Saturday so that seems a little weird to me...

[Jeremy]

My 1-12 markers came in early.
I am very impressed.

[Nishakey29]

Congrats! I hope mine come in soon.

[Jeremy]

Thanks Nishakey29!
I'm still waiting on my 13-37 markers from this batch.

[Nishakey29]

My dad's 1-12 markers came in today. I am still waiting for his Mtdna results.

[Taed]

I received all but one of the 67-to-111 Y-DNA panels. But that was enough to enter the rest of the markers that Ancestry.com uses, and I found an exact match at 43 markers there.
