Latest Y-700 batches

Ok my completion dates have been updated.. 11th March - 25th March. I will take that as a sign FTDNA have received my kit back.

That's probably an auto-fire script and likely has little to no actual bearing as to the status of your test.

Batch 915 (batched 14 Nov 2018) completed today. Originally expected end of Jan, postponed a couple of times – most recently to 6-20/3/19 – but extremely happy that the results came back today.

Replacement kit has obviously held things up. I will just have to hang in there.

I figured from your user name that you're in NZ on this crisp clear morning.

Results arrived for my kit in Batch 919 a couple of hrs ago

I was advised mid January by email that my original sample wasn't up to it and they would send a new kit. I am in New Zealand so it took a while to arrive. I think I posted it back about Feb 5th, however I never had a "Kit Sent/received" notification so I am not 100% sure they actually have it back or when they received it if they did. My batch number never changed, and the estimated times for completion on my page haven't changed since they first appeared..02/25/2019 - 03/11/2019. So, may be any day?? Would that scenario have held up others in 916?

916 and waiting. Some delay due to new sample required. Ordered mid November.

Do you know this because they've told you by e-mail, or did you find out when a new testing kit arriving in the mail?

My batch was 915 and I recieved it late Thursday night - Feb 21.

Father was Batch 924(Ordered in August), sponsored another kit that was in batch 925(ordered in November). Both kits completed Y-700 Thursday

Sadly the batch 925 kit is not related on the Y-DNA side anytime in the past 5,000 years or so even with the atDNA + surname match. Skipping Y-37/Y-67 proved costly, but we definitely know one line that he isn't biologically related to us on.

Edit to add: I have to wonder on when they "unofficially switched" the lines over vs the "official" change. All kinds of variables in play there. But given batch 924 batched 12/17 and finishing 2/21 would suggest a roughly 8 week process.. They could have been on the new process from the start. Although that leaves open the question on FTDNA saying results were supposed to start coming back 2 weeks ago.

Please post your batch if you are waiting for results, and also (if you can drag yourself away from your results for a moment!) update to let us know when your test was completed and which batch. Currently waiting for Batch 919 here.
