Batch 592 Batched 10/16

SNP test.
Anybody else waiting for 592 ?

Batch 592

Yes, I'm waiting on Batch 592. Would very much like an update too. Carla

Folks, don't get hung up on batch numbers or dates. They are meaningless.

Some of you will get your results quickly, others will be waiting for the better part of a year. In some cases, such as the first people to order Big Y, you might even wait for a full year before seeing any results.

There's no rhyme or reason, and you will get no satisfactory answers to your questions from FTDNA.

Ya pays yer money, ya takes yer chances, as they say...

Family Finder, mtFullSequence and Y-DNA111 were all batched in 592 for me. FF finished pretty fast, I think less than 4 weeks at least, the other two are still pending... but they also say "1-3 weeks" so I'm going to chill for a bit.

12 markers were delayed (from an official FTDNA message to project administrators)

"Finally, we apologize for any delays you and your project members have experienced with the Y-DNA STR testing. The sole supplier of the reagent kit that we used for the first 12 markers unexpectedly stopped producing them. We had to develop an alternative processing method. After substantial R&D, we now have that method in place. While it took longer than expected to get this situation resolved, we’re able to continue providing and processing Y STR tests. The alternative - not being able to process the first 12 markers any more - would have been a disaster for everyone involved. The lab staff are working overtime to clear the backlog as quickly as possible."

@anksil, so now you know that your STRs will be done

Nice! Thanks, @dna !

FF results from batch 592 came in just under 4 weeks, as did basic mtDNA, still waiting on Y37. In batch 593 FF came thru in 3 wks, waiting for Full mtDNA and Y-67. So no problem so far and within times predicted.

Don't complain. I'm waiting on Y37 batch 590. It's been saying 1-2 weeks for three weeks.

Batch 592 update

Hi. After 2 e-mails, they have responded. From 1-2 weeks to up to 4-6 weeks:

Y-DNA37 Y-DNA1-12 Markers 592 4-6 Weeks Results for your Y-DNA testing have been delayed. We have updated your predicted completion date, and action by you is not usually required. Note that predicted dates are an estimate and subject to lab volume and quality control.
Y-DNA37 Y-DNA13-25 Markers 592 2-4 Weeks Results for your Y-DNA testing have been delayed. We have updated your predicted completion date, and action by you is not usually required. Note that predicted dates are an estimate and subject to lab volume and quality control.

I just noticed the same happening to my STRs, also in 592. 4-6 weeks on 1-12 and 2-4 on all the rest.

I'm not really all that surprised - I especially expected the 1-12 delay, of course, but I've also seen reports of other panels being slow.

At least we got an actual status update.

Single SNP finally !

8 weeks for result

Batch 592

Some Y-37 results from batch 590 were published on Tuesday 16th. So I guess another couple of weeks at least until 592 surfaces

My cousin's kit is in batch 590 and was batched on 10/2. He has not received his results and now as of today the time says 5-7 weeks.

Thanks for the update!
