Hi All. I got my Big Y results recently through FTDNA, unfortunately however I am a bit of a novice when it comes to Genealogy.
My Big Y result has resulted in a match with one other person in Haplogroup D. According to the results we:
* Share 498 novel variance
* Have 26,724 matching SNPs
* But we have 3 known SNP differences: CTS1530 PF2000 Y1251
I have read an article amount the mutation rate for Ashkenazi Levites at https://sites.google.com/site/levite...kenazi-levites
where on average an SNP mutation occurs once every 150 years. Does anyone know if this mutation rate is specific to the Levites due to a shared history or is this a rough guide for all SNP mutation rates? Does my result of 3 known SNP differences mean that the person I am matched with share a common ancestor between 90 to around 450 years? (90 because we can trace our genealogy back to a maximum of 3 - 2 generations) Also, I have read else where that the rate of mutation on the Y Chromosome differs from area to area. How does this affect SNP mutations rather than markers?
