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.

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.

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,

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