Thanks Mike: I tried the activity Feed but had trouble establishing when posts were chronologically made. Which format of discussion should we use? Its all about ease of use for me. Not a big fan of F

Question to anybody: Hood, B144260, and Wood, 421024, both took Big Y. Hood just got onto Alex's Tree, but preliminary, so in red. I can't find the BY34846 SNP in either of their private SNPs on Alex'

Also, Wood, 421024, and Hood, B144260, now share BY34846 directly under BY2634. I've encouraged Hood to send you his VCF file so he can be added to Alex's SNP Chart. This SNP now separates Wood from W

Check this out. N195016CampbellFinlay Campbell abt 1764 CAMPBELTOWN,ARGYLL,SCOTLAat https://www.familytreedna.com/public/R-L513?iframe=ysnp I couldn't find any STRs for him. He is BY13857 like Pelkey

Thanks Mike: I've corrected my error with 6 McIntyres (7th is unreachable). All: It is a momentous time in FTDNA history! I never suspected that FTDNA would get ahead of the citizen scientists in rega

Mike: Your Descendant Tree chart has Galbraith and McIntyre descending from Z17816, but they should descend from Z17813. Do you know how these two men came to share/test the same SNP in BY34838? Very

Joel: If you don't want your vcf files to get lost, make sure to include the kit number when you upload to Alex. If your dad's 1st cousin had 2 more SNPs than you this means he and his father both had

Joel: You've got your work cut out for you. Take a look at this link from Alex W's Big Tree http://www.ytree.net/DisplayTree.php?blockID=200&star=false Flucker is your closest relative there and per b

JBlake18: That's a question for which we don't have enough information about, and may not be answerable unfortunately. Most surnames only became common within the last 500 yrs or so. L193 man was prob

Jim: I went to the FTDNA Galbraith Project, and only found our own L193>Z17813 Galbraith there, and no other apparent L513 Galbraiths, so the answer seems to be no, Drummonds were not part of the Galb

This is a very informative thread for me, and I've learned some interesting facts from everybody. Keep it coming! I've been busy, or would have replied sooner. It seems I sometimes forget facts I once

The link below shows a map with a region in southwest Scotland called 'Galwyddel' in c.600 AD (not called that in the 300 AD Map) http://www.abroadintheyard.com/wp-content/uploads/British-Isles-3-Angl

Michael: I'm not sure where you see that on Yfull. From what I see, on the link below, Yfull sees our BY207 subclade as A1069, with 6 more equivalents: FGC32127 * A5865+4 SNPs. Click on those "+4 SNPs

Mike W: I'm not questioning any rights to privacy, but rather trying to understand, and convey to others how things work -- so that confusion can be reduced on an macro level. After receiving your rep

Ulf: The confusion we're currently experiencing with conflicting STR view results for N229719 is directly due to FTDNA's default privacy policy which they implemented over 2 years ago. The only reason

Correction: S7123 is at Pos #18,172,011, not as stated in previous post "If it sees any changes, such as at Pos 18,171,211 (S7123)" Best, Daryl

Leake, and all: In addition to posting here I'm copying the https://groups.io/g/R1b-L513 website as my posts get there immediately whereas posts to L513 Yahoo continue to be held back for hours, and s

Mike W: How do we know for sure this is a mistake? I can't find any of the STRs in our Project that Ulf mentioned for N234853 and his father N229719 (who is also not on the SNP page) Best, Daryl

Leake: The Blat looks for sequential allele matches in other areas of the chromosome. I chose the 250 base pair allele sequences on each side of the S7123 SNP to see if perhaps the Call for S7123 had
