1001CB56-84FE-4908-B813-7D55CF383EA1.jpeg Hello everyone. I hope someone can answer my questions. I have posted to my Hamilton DNA group about two weeks ago, but neither of The administrators have bothered to answer.
I have questions about how to read an SNP tree. I have attached a screen shot of the tree I am trying to understand. Please tell me if I am reading it correctly.
1. Everyone on this branch has an SNP at Z63 and L1237
Then there is a split
2. Warren Deatherage and Nick Wormley’s line branches off with an additional SNP—FGC7026.
3. Then James Hamilton (Group B) branched off Z63/L1237. Everyone descended from James has SNPs at y6628, y6612 and y6636
4. Bill Arthurs, William, Gavin, Abercorn, Paul, David and Mathew are on the same branch—the y6628/y6612/y6636 branch
5. The y6628/y6612/y6636 branch then splits into 6 more branches
6. y6624 is one of those 6 branches and it splits into two more branches—one with an SNP at y14194 and another branch with SNPs at y6635 and y6626.
7. What are the #s I have circled on James John’s branch and under his name?
8. My father’s STR results are a close match to James John. IF I were to have Y700 analysis of my father’s sample, would I be able to tell if my father’s line branched from James John’s or if his branched from Dad’s? What might that look like on the tree?
