New DNA Collection Instructions

[crowslanding]

I learned from one of our new testers in our group yesterday that what I had told him was confusing since the kit he received had 3 swab kits and 3 collection tubes.

I e-mailed Family Tree DNA and they said yes, the newer kits being sent out do have 3 swab kits and 3 collection...

Thanks FTDNA for the new members Distribution Map & Subgroup Tools!

Thanks to FTDNA for these two new great tools!

Hopefully FTDNA is still working out the little bugs!

These tools are great, and hopefully the colors from the Members Subgroups...

We have a large Y-DNA data base of matching Crows, 3 testers sharing the same value for DYS 439, (a faster mutaing DYS) at the 12 marker level. Two of the three Crows matched many of us, 24 for 25, at the 25 marker level.

Is it safe to assume the three mactching Crows, with the same...

I was wondering if three of our Crows, that matched 12 for 12, and share the same value, 12, on faster mutating DYS# 439, are more closely related to each other, than to some of the rest of us, that share a different value, 13, on DYS# 439?

One of those three 12 for 12 matcheing Crows...

We know my cousin Bill and I share the same GGG Samuel Crow, but do we share the same GGG grandmother?

We would like to know if we both do a mtDNA test, would that tell us if Samuel Crow's wife, Susannah, who was my GGG grandmother, was also...

Re: Re: 11 for 12 marker matching



Thanks Max. That clears it up, and now I understand better why you do not report 11 for 12 matches, as matches. Phillip...

Greetings. I'm the Crow(e) Group DNA Administrator and wonder why FTDNA doesn't report 11 for 12 matches to it's customers, since I've read somplace on this site, that even brothers could test and match 11 for 12. I believe the wording was something like "mutations happen on a regular basis,...
