Batch 147 created

[genny]

He was 5 off the modal at 12 markers and 17 off the modal at 37 markers.

[GvdM]

Wow! That is rare.

He must be pretty far off WAMH (YSearch C7BED).

Rich,

Do you have any 12-marker matches? I do not, not even to my cousin. He has no 12-marker matches either. We are 66/67 at 67 marker though. Our closest 12 marker is one person at -2 and, 7 at -3 and a dozen or so at -4 under haplogroup tab

[M.O'Connor]

There could be a lot of matches.. maybe they're just not sequenced ?

I don't understand why my remaining snp results are taking so long?


c'mon 147

Actually, I do have a few 12-marker matches. For a long time I had only 8, now I have 9. All but two of them completely evaporate at 37 markers. Of those two, I have one 34/37 match with a man named Webb from New Jersey. As far as I can tell, he and I might be descended from the same Saxon barbarian or something, but that's about it.

It's unusual for R1bs not to have loads of 12-marker matches. I am exceptional in having only 9.

You and your cousin are really exceptional in having no 12-marker matches. If I recall correctly, Mike Maddi is in the same boat, though.

c'mon 147

I am wondering the same thing and waiting on the same SNPs.

Of course, my SNP test was in Batch 155, but M37 and P66 are still late. They are just later for you than for me.

It seems strange to think there are still results pending from ol' Batch 147.

[Stevo]

He was 5 off the modal at 12 markers and 17 off the modal at 37 markers.

That explains the lack of 12-marker matches. I'm 13 off WAMH myself, and I have only 9 12-marker matches.

I don't have any exact matches at 12 markers. I have 4 one step mutations and probably about 80 two step mutations. I see this when I look on my match list for Recent Ancestral Origin.

147 still out to lunch?

Months and months ago I sent in my brother's test kit and upgraded two times. From the original 12 to 27 and then to 37 plus the deep clade for haplogroup G. I got a notice from FTdna that there was a problem extracting results the first time and that they were going to re-test. That was nearly 3 months ago.
They promised results from the second round of testing on June 9th. Needless to say it's the end of July.
Has anyone here ever been sent a second test kit for a fresh swab? They say that's what they do if they can't extract enough dna for the testing after the second round. But it sure seems like they're just sitting on their hands.
I know you guys are waiting for results too but most of you have upgrades to the 67 marker test..... I'm still back at 37 markers and deep clade.
What's up with that?

Thanks.....

radio1 - We can all speculate what the problem might be, but your best bet is to just contact FTDNA directly to ask for a status and make sure they're aware that you're still waiting. They're very responsive to both email and phone calls, so definitely don't hesitate to contact them. You can email [email protected] or call them on Monday at the phone number at the bottom of the page.

What kind of a day . . .

What kind of a day would it be if I did not post at least once in the good ol' Batch 147 thread?

Well, a couple of those days are coming.

We're taking a little short trip up to Lancaster, PA, for the next couple of days.

We're doing the Hershey Park/Dutch Wonderland thing.

I wish they would change that to: Deutsch Wonderland thing

They should, but everyone in that area knows the difference between Pennsylvania "Dutch" and Netherlands Dutch.

I'm out the door soon, headed in that direction!

[Stevo]

Here I am again. I'm sitting at a computer in the Park Plaza Hotel in Lancaster, PA, after two days out in the 100+ F. heat, first at Dutch Wonderland and then today at Hershey Park.

My three-year-old daughter had a great time. A little too great a time, I'm afraid. She had so much sun and fun that this evening, as we were eating dinner at a Smorgasbord place in Ronks, PA, she called on Ralph and Earl to go get the Buick, if you know what I mean.

She upchucked.

That was a thriller for all and sundry, I call tell you!

We're all sunburned and tired, but we had a good time.

It was a good way to wile away some time while waiting for a couple of stubborn SNPs and a 67-marker upgrade.

[M.O'Connor]

We haven't been getting the heat here. Things seem to be hovering around 24C in the daytime.

Still waiting for those stubborn SNP's from Batch 147.

We are inching our way to a thousand posts.


C'mon 147.. (just cause I had to)
