Not very exciting for the rest of you, I'm afraid, but I'm cock-a-hoop at having at long last plugged a gap in my paper-trail and found the death-certificate -...
Congratulations Harry! Nothing feels better than making an ancestral connection. I found a will here in TN which connected me to an ancestor born 1751 and...
Dear Listers - Did all of you that tested at FTDNA get the e-mail blurb from Bennett G. about the special on the mtDNA FGS upgrade? You have to order it...
Something interesting just popped up on mitosearch. I have no exact matches but there are a bunch of 1 step mismatches; in addition, I do have 25 other exact...
John: As to the matches. You results are typical of J1c1 except for the 16163 which is a rather rare polymorphism for mtDNA J at less than 1%. However, it...
Julian: I apparently never answered you question. Sorry for the delay. Yes, with HVR1 only data, 16126 is a major indicator for both mtDNA J and mtDNA T....
Jim: Thanks for your reply! First I noticed my data looked unusual on forums, and then on mitosearch where nobody matches me, which is awkward to say the least...
Welcome fellow Double Helix poster... :) If you allow me to bring the good news, Dirk has ordered a deCODEme test, and no doubt the results will be interesting...
Hi I am a new member trying to learn enough to talk some of my J2 HVR2 matches to take advantage of the special price from FTDNA. These are my mutations: ...
A tad confusing.....Mitosearch shows me with exact matches to 2 other folks both of whom show different haplogroups....what gives? And Kathleen, I am J2 also...
Hannah: Yes, there is still confusion. Based on HVR1 and HVR2 results, I would classify you a J2a1. However, if you were to use the "classic" HVR1-only...
Harry and I were discussing this off list, but maybe someone can help us out. The 522- and 523- are part of my HVR2 results, but I don't know how these are...
I read on another forum that two mtDNA J1c people who otherwise matched each other exactly only differed in that one had 309.1C at HVR2 and the other didn't. ...
Marcy, Harry, and others: The 522- and 523- are deletions in the sequence. That is instead of a mutation which changes the value of an alphabetic character ...
Harry and all: The 309.1C indicates that there is in insertion of a C in the first position after what is position 309 in the reference sequence. It is ...
Hi all, I am thinking about taking the offer of FT DNA for the full sequence test. I will be more enthusiastic about it if I could find someone that has a ...
I didn't write the other day when someone (Harry I think) wrote that my J1c1 was typical except for the 16163G which only occurred in 1% of the J's (so no...
I didn't write the other day (so no quotation below) when someone (Harry I think) wrote that my J1c1 was typical except for the 16163G which only occurred in...
I am also J1c, with hive high-res matches and one match on the FGS. Dan Draghici (CRTJ5 on mitosearch, maternal surname Paulisan) ... From: Blanco, Fernando...
That is an interesting thing to know..I guess that means that all FGS matches are not the same as High-Res. matches? or does it mean that only one of your High...
Before I spend the money for the full test I would like to have a better idea of what information would be available to me. If it is just numbers with no...
Only one of my High Res matches was also a FGS. I also have another high-res
match, again Greek, but private (cannot contact the member) at DNA Ancestry. The...
Marilyn - For a very reasonable price, you can have Dr. Ann Turner prepare you a personalized FGS report. With her permission, David Faux posted his FGS report...
I, too, would like to know the benefits of going for the FGS. Not a geneticist, this is all new and interesting but something of a mystery in the details. ...
I would like to second Joe's recommendation of Ann Turner. She prepared an extremely thorough report for me in a timely manner at a very reasonable fee. I...
I agree! She did a great job for me, too. The explanations are also done in plain English so that even those with little exposure to DNA genealogy can...
Kathleen, Hannah, and others. With the relatively slow mutation rate of mtDNA, there are potentially thousands of exact matches for any given HVR1 and HVR2...
Jim: I'm Eileen Gordy, one of the "others", a new member, and also one Kathleen Ingram's 12 HVR1-2 matches. Our match group seems unusual. We are absent the C...
