The current Y-DNA Report includes a column for Paternal Ancestor Name, which is pulled directly from the Kit Owner's profile.
Project administrators used to have access to this data, and were able to update that information to match whatever standard was used in our surname project.
The new recommended/limited access for group project admins no longer allows those updates. This results in blank data, wrong data, unformatted data, or incompatible data.
As an alternative, I would like to see an optional column for use in projects by admins. This column could /should be able to be utilized in the Public and Group YDNA Results charts instead of the Paternal Ancestor Name or in addition to the Paternal Ancestor Name.
This lets the group administrator document whatever paternal ancestor/couple are applicable to their group project.

- Cases where the participant's surname may not match, yet their Y-DNA is associated with a specific ancestral family within our project
- Participant has incorrect data in their tree or Paternal Ancestor Name and does not follow through with correcting it.
- Project like mine, which also review participants with Family Finder / Autosomal Transfers. Their Paternal Ancestors may not even apply to my project. Would like option to list their Project Related Ancestors.
