confllcting branches under I-PF4135 reported with SNP difference of 0

[sbarr10]

I have a Big Y tester in my project who is A14359. Among his Big Y matches he is showing other testers with terminal SNPs A9877, Y12075, and Y12073, which are other branches off of PF4135 conflicting with his A14359 branch.

Why would Big Y report these matches as a known SNP...

summer sale 2016

Well we got our summer sale now! Unprecedented discount for Family Finder - $69. This was an offer I couldn't refuse and have already purchased 4 FF tests with maybe more to come.

I only wish there were yDNA upgrades being offered - I can't use the bu...

The background pages of the project are hidden under "About."

Maybe half the problem could be solved if I as a project member could specify a default view page so I would not see the Activity Feed unless I click to view it.

Don't like the new groups interface

If I wanted to yammer away like on Facebook I go there. I don't like having to scroll through the yammerings in the Activity Feeds.

Project announcements and extended discussions and analyses by the project admins should remain on separate...

not fixed





I *DID* report the bug through the main feedback and got absolutely no response. Since the bug continued I reported it here, and I will continue to do so whenever I find a bug. Tell FTDNA to improve its response to submitted support requests...

I administer three DNA projects. For two of them if I try editing the Welcome Email, click the Save Email button, navigate away and come back to the Welcome Email, the edits are NOT SAVED. For the third project, if I click to edit the Welcome Email I get HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

I administer a number of DNA projects, and I find autosomal testers get too easily confused when they interpret results. They are researching a particular surname, they have a match who has an ancestor with the same surname, and they get hung up on that, failing to grasp that the match could be through...

I can no longer find updates on when batches are expected to be processed except in an old archived thread. The Calendar feature does not help.

Is there any way to find out about the status of batch 547? My account still shows my test as due on March 28. Thanks.

research papers

Thank you for this Rebekah,

It would not be inconceivable for me to want to write an article in the future for the Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society (JCHAS) or a similar publication in the future. Some guidelines on how we should...

I've been noticing lately that when I look at the GEDCOMs of my new matches, place information of an ancestor says "unknown."

I just tried reuploading a GEDCOM and I am getting the same problem, despite having place information filled in for almost everybody in the tree. I didn't...

Hi Rebekah,

You can see some examples of what we're trying to do here:

I posted this in another part of the forum but it should have gone here.

This is a request in the GAP interface for autosomal DNA data management.

Under Genetic Reports | Illumina OmniExpress Results is a list of autosomal DNA project members.

I need...

Hello Rebekah,

I am so glad you are on the job and somebody is listening. As a sys admin of an autosomal DNA project I have some requests.

I generated the chromosome table at the link in a cumbersome way:

mtDNA screen explanation

Hello Rebekah !

While making site improvements I would like to see an explanation of "steps removed" from otherwise identical mtDNA matches. I have searched the FAQ, cannot find an explanation anywhere, and cannot find any explanation...
