MTDNA matches disappeared

[mihun]

Thank you.

[mihun]

I have tested FMS and had 3 HVR2 matches and maybe a dozen HVR1 matches. With the website's new overhaul I have lost all of them, no matches at any level.

To be honest I don't really understand if my previous matches disappeared because they don't match the new criteria or there is a bug...

[mihun]

Thanks for your comments. I have contacted FTDNA and received an answer which totally contradicts to my understanding of FF matching. If I understand things well, going back a generation should double - or at least increase - the shared longest block and not halve it.

"Thank you for...

I have an FF match - 4th Cousin - Remote Cousin, total 33,20 longest 10,52 - who also tested his parents and I don't match any of them. He is a match to his parents as expected, so we can disregard a possible NPE or adoption etc.

I wonder how is this possible? Perhaps my match's DNA recombined...

Gedmatch has an "Are your parents related?" feature. Try that with your son's raw data.

Thanks for your advise.

I understand that to confirm our shared ancestry further markers might be needed, but 12 might not be enough to disprove it? If this guy turns out to be of a totally different haplogroup, there is no need for further tests and I can save some money. If at Y-12...

I'd like to order a test for someone whose surname is a spelling variant of mine. If we are related our common ancestor must have lived 250-350 years ago.

I wonder if ordering the Genographic Project's 12 markers test would be enough to find out if we share the same paternal line or n...

FMS results have just come in. It was originally expected by 11 June.

[mihun]

I have just received my FMS results and this completely changed my matches. Before I had 4 HVR 2 matches who completely disapperaed, I cannot find them even among my HVR1 matches, while I have 3 new HVR2 matches who complately replaced my previous HVR2 matches. Is this normal?

[mihun]

Only 6 matches

I have only 6 matches, all distant cousins. My ancestry is roughly 50% Hungarian, 25% German, 25% Slavic (Czech, Polish, Croatian).

[mihun]

Some Y results were posted in April, and I have just received the notification email today, nearly 2 months later.

[mihun]

Same problem here. Any news or response from FTDNA?

[mihun]

Y SNP came in 2 days ago. Still waiting for mtHVR2toMega in the same batch.

[mihun]

This new interface is catastrophic, my mtDNA matches disappeared altogether.

[mihun]

mtHVR2toMega and also a Y-DNA SNP in the batch 461 expected: 2012.06.11.
