Susan,

The 12- or 24- marker set of values is the haplotype. Are you referring to
haplogroup? If so, this is estimated from your haplotype and is normally
about 95% or so accurate. If you tested through Family Tree DNA, they will
either estimate the haplogroup and give it to you or, if they are uncertain
about the haplogroup, they will do a free SNP test to determine the
haplogroup. If you have tested through SMFG or Ancestry.com, they only
estimate the haplogroup (and at times their estimate is way off).

Yours aye,

Bob McLaren

QUESTION:

How does one calculate ones haplotype just by the 12 or 24 marker Y
testing?

Thanks....Susan Klein
