Huge amount of YDNA matches

[k.o.gran]

Hi all.

Yesterday I had 1300+ YDNA-12 matches and no 25, 37 or 67 matches. It's been like that for several weeks.
Today I have this in addition to the 12 marker matches:
25 exact: 2 matches
25 distance 1: 64 matches
25 distance 2: 336 matches
37 distance 4: 2 matches

Anyone else seen an explosion in YDNA matches?

This is very common for some Haplotypes. I'll bet your predicted Haplogroup is R1b1a1.

Hi Jim,

Good guess!
But why did they all appear at the same time? It seems unlikely that some 400 people that match me got their tests on the same day?

Projects and settings

Have you joined any projects? I noticed I had more matches after I joined a project. Also have you changed your settings to not filter by project? After that I would believe a glitch as opposed to that many matches appearing in a day due to testing.

Not joined any groups and not changed the settings. I'm starting to believe this was a glitch myself...

Y-dna

I got a family member's Y-DNA results a few days ago R1b1a2 .

12 Markers genetic distance 1 , 24 matches
25 Markers 0 Matches
37 Markers 0 Markers
67 Markers 0 Markers

Still looking

That's my haplogroup also. The most common in western Europe but no matches for me either ? Go figure? Hopefully some day. I read in another thread that certain western European countries like France and Italy are under represented in the data base

You are so right hard to figure. Then again it took me a couple of yrs to get this person in my family to test.
I also have read that thread " that certain western European countries like France and Italy are under represented in the data base"

I also put this person in for a Family Finder test results due in May. I did my Family Finder abt. 1 yr. ago.
I hope you don't have to wait to long for a significant match .

When were your second and third sets of markers reported?

When were your second and third sets of markers reported?

All was done 3 weeks ago except Y-DNA48-60 Markers which completed about one and a half week ago.
I'm starting to think this was just some sort of hiccup in the FTDNA system...

This may be likely. I know that occasionaly my haplogroup changes. After I refresh the page it reverts to the correct one . I know this is a different type of error from the one your describing but certainly could be connected.

I have also had my relatives Haplogroup change . I think it is a hiccup in their system.
I got my relieves Y-DNA results all in one day. I did not expect it to happen like that.
