Me either.

I appreciate the project administrators and co-administrators who do, though.

They have my respect, admiration, and appreciation.

So aren't we supposed to get certificates from FTDNA with our yDNA test results? My relatives and I have gotten certificates for our mtDNA results, and I even got one for my H subclade test, but we have gotten no certificates for yDNA. Is this because FTDNA is still composing a 67-marker certificate, and will send us one when they are ready?

I believe I read that they only send a certificate for the first test that you order through them, and if you wish to have a certificate for an upgrade, you need to order that separately. But I would suggest contacting them to confirm, as I don't remember where I read this information (may have been here on the boards).

Yes, but I assumed that if the 'first test' is a combination like YDNA67+mtDNAplus, they would send both certificates.

I will probably have to contact FTDNA to clarify.

That's my understanding. Let us know when you get clarification from FTDNA.

I did my first 12 markers through the Genographic Project so I didn't get a certificate from FTDNA. I upgraded to 67 markers and did not get one but I did have HVR1 & 2 done in one shot and I received a certificate for that. On my personal page the certificate only goes up to 37 markers, are they planning on a 67 marker certificate yet?

Does it mean anything if a batch thread disappears off of the batch calendar forum? Batch 154 which has my late R1b subclade test in it disappeared off the forum the other week.

I read just recently that the 67-marker certificates weren't available yet, but they would be soon.

Below the listing of threads in the Batch Calendar forum, there's a Display Options box. You'll see "From the" and then a pull-down menu with a timeframe. Mine is set to 45 days and the Batch 154 thread is the last one on the page. You probably have yours set to "Last Month" or an even shorter timeframe. The last post in the Batch 154 thread was 8/17/06, about 6 weeks ago.
