I've done it fairly recently. You have the member give you advanced access, then order the kit from his account. There is a box just below the member's address, I forget the wording, but you click that and you get a different billing section. You can pay from that or I think there is a deferred billing...

Someone in my project recently split a block. FTDNA hasn't changed the tree yet, but when I click on this member's Haplotree and SNPs, the "more" shows one SNP in green for Tested Positive and two in blue for Downstream....

All that's true, Jim, but this goes way beyond that. The same half dozen or so messages are being sent approximately hourly. I turned off messaging for the levels of testing that are being repeated. Hopefully that will stop them until this is fixed.

I'm getting them, too. I think I've received 25 - 30 sets of messages today. At first I was jealous of one man who kept getting a close FamilyFinder match. Then I noticed there were some mtDNA repeats and a Y-DNA match being repeated.

The kits I monitor have quite a range of matches. I belong to one of the J subclades and have 284 full sequence matches, 110 of them are at a distance of 0 steps. My father is in one of the I subclades and he has a total of 36 matches, 15 of them at 0 steps. I have another relative who is in a different...

I hope a test to look for small amounts of Native American DNA becomes commercially practical sometime. Like many, a story has been passed down though my family, but the best possibility I have through traditional genealogy would be nine generations ago in New Hampshire. It would be a real brick wall...

Does anyone know if the low number of matches also occurs with 23&Me transfers? Thanks.

[similligan]

You're right. I found a project member who only tested for 67 markers and he is missing panel 5. I wonder if it would be better if FTDNA only listed markers 112 - 561 in the Big Y section?

[similligan]

I was able to see and print off the extra markers this morning. There is a total of 561 markers, including the original 111 markers. They appear in the Big Y section of the home page.

I have a family member who has 40 novel variants. I don't think I would ever want to look at the list of non-matching novel variants, but I would like to see a modified list of his matches at each level, possibly with the number of variants in parentheses or simply "more than 30". I agree...

If you are negative for both R-U106 and R-P312, then the R1b Basal Subclades may be the project for you. The R1b all subclades that you said you joined is also a good place to start.

I have results for three of my accounts. The fourth account has zeroes for all of the populations. I'm not getting the "results pending message.

mb79, if you haven't already joined your Y-DNA haplogroup project, you should. Comparing your results to others in your haplogroup can help you see if you have unusual mutations that keep you from meeting FTDNA's matching threshold. My father has no matches at 37 markers, even though men in his haplogroup...

Congratulations, Matt. I'm looking forward to hearing the story.

There have been books written about royal ancestry. One is Ancestral Roots of Sixty Colonists, by Frederick Lewis Weis. It was updated over the years and by the seventh edition (1993) the title was changed to Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists. If someone found one or more of their ancestors...
