Y-search upload problems

Question for Paul

Paul, you mention going to 67 markers to see where my nearest matches are concentrated as being helpful to determining origins. That makes sense to me. What I'm wondering is this: right now at 25 markers I have the one exact match to someone with my surname who I know...

[RussellL]

Thank you, Paul. Right now at 25 markers I have only one exact match in the FTDNA data bank, and that is to a person with my surname who was the brother of my ancestor 13 generations back. So I think that precludes it being a recent mutation, does it not? Incidentally, the same 15 value shows up in...

This is interesting about the 393=15 locations. I saw on one chart quite a number of the 15 values in England. Paul, are there other locations where such a value is common, and if so, does that say anything about my ancestory? Or is it just a genetic fluke that isn't territorial specific?

R1a1

As a newbie here, thank you for the reference to the dna forums group, which I had wondered about and will now register for. The subject is pretty daunting, and every little bit of extra information helps. I'm R1a1 based on the first panel of results of 12 markers, but waiting for...

[RussellL]

Good idea. Many thanks for the advice.

Still unable to enter my data on Ysearch. I receive the following error message:

Microsoft SQL Native Client error '80040e57'

String or binary data would be truncated.

/add_newrecord.asp, line 64

[RussellL]

Okay, thank you. I was probably doing something wrong from my end. I'll have another go at it later on today.

[RussellL]

Well, as I'm a newbie here I may be doing something wrong in the way I'm trying to enter things. I'm using Safari.

For the past day or so, I've been trying to upload my results to Y-search and create a new profile but Y-search seems to be having technical problems.

More than likely the descent would be through a Norman, whose roots would have been essentially Viking. After all, Normandy was named after the Northmen.

[RussellL]

Thanks for the reply. My ancestor was also English, born in 1608, likely Anglo-Norman ancestry.

[RussellL]

Very interesting, thanks. Out of curiosity, is your ancestry from England or....?

[RussellL]

Thank you again for the link as well as the guidance. This is all new to me so any tips are much appreciated.

[RussellL]

Many thanks for your reply and the link. On this first round of results, I have only a couple of exact matches in England, and to three others with my surname in America. That's it. On the next level out (2-step mutations), I have very few matches either, with single matches in Scotland, the United...

Just having received my first panel of 12 results, I was wondering if others here who are R1a1 have received a 15 in the 393 allele? (And I'm a newbie, so please excuse if I've posted this in the wrong place, or have my terminology slightly confused.)
