Terminal SNP

[Bartot]

Thanks

I got a reply from ftdna, they checked my sample and stated I have 2 unused samples remaining

This means my total amount of tests I can do with my initial sample is six...

[Bartot]

If one has a sample already in ftdna can it be used ?..........or does a new sample need to be given to test for Big Y

highlighted

In Family finder I have a surname highlighted in bold letters , only one, from a matched person ancestors list. What does this mean?

[Bartot]

since natgeno are using the latest #16version mtdna trees since March 2015 on their site, Ftdna will not accepted any marker which does not appear on the #14version mtdna trees which they use.

so when you transfer, ftdna will use from your data what fits the mtdna they use...

[Bartot]

myself and the other where natgeno2 transfers and do not have terminal SNP filled (CTS8862) , but I am noted as this SNP in both ftdna and natgeno2.

Also all branches lower than this SNP for me, have been tested negative..........so basically , unless a new branch is found, I will noted...

I have 4 people on my matches for YDNA of which 2 show the same SNP under the terminal SNP column and the other 2 do not, but all 4 have this SNP. why this discrepancy?

[Bartot]

I gave away wikitree and ancestry ( awful systems )and now use MyHeritage with Familysearch. These 2 combined have doubled my family tree within 6 months.

thanks

i find it strange that on, one's site there are names and no kit numbers and yet when you go into a Ftdna project , you get both.
It would be far easier if they had both instead of jumping from site to site...

[Bartot]

Why are kit numbers missing on the ftdna site for one's yDna matches. ...........and even Mtdna matches.

[Bartot]

What is of more value, the TMRCA of a marker or date of original ybp of formation of a marker ?

[Bartot]

Geno2 are using the latest mtdna tree which all other companies are not using.

for me , Geno2 is 100% correct for my mtdna ( which is rare ) and my Ydna...

My wife last week received a match which is stated 2nd Cousin by ftdna. The only information is the women's name, there is no Mtdna marker, FF, Myorigins or FMS done by this person.
Is this a transfer from Ancestry.com or similar, if so, how do I find out there kit#.........I presume they get...
