In order to see your results compared to other members, please go to the Family Tree DNA home page at http://www.familytreedna.com/ and log in with your kit number and password in the area "MY FTDNA" Click on the section "Y DNA Matches". You will see a display of those that match or closely match your DNA. Click on the little icon to the right of that person's name and you will see a display of the "probable time to most common ancestor".
If you match someone who has signed a Release Form their name(s) and email addresses are shown on your personal data page. Since this page refers to you, your name and email will not show up here, just people you match. If the same email address appears multiple times then the people listed are members of a group study which has chosen to make the group administrator a single point of contact. Recent matches are at the top of the list. (** indicates additions since your last login.) Only people who sent us SIGNED RELEASE FORMS are eligible to be listed here. If the individuals with whom you have matches have tested for more markers, you will see next to their names, between parenthesis, the number of markers that they have tested for.
There appear to be at least 4 different haplogroups in the Case line, so far.
Haplogroup R1b has been strongly indicated (but not confirmed by test) for kit #28060. R1b has been confirmed by SNP test for kit #35791 (this test was done at no charge by Family Tree DNA).
Haplogroup K2 has been indicated, but not confirmed, for kit #32288.
Haplogroup I has been confirmed, by SNP testing, for kit #35050. The haplogroup for #27579 has been confirmed, by SNP testing, as I. This means that the kits that match kit 27579 or are only off by one or two markers are also haplogroup I. The haplogroup for #35130 has been confirmed by SNP tests as belonging to Group I. This makes it quite clear that kits 35118, 36299, 29294, 28766, 33295 and 27725 are also Group I and no further SNP testing is necessary for these kits. There have been some of the Haplogroup I that have had deep SNP-I testing done to further refine their I sub group. These have resulted in several I1a sub group results. Please go to http://www.familytreedna.com/haplotree.html
to see how the main haplogroup I (P19) breaks down into the various subgroups. I1a is M253, a subgroup of I (p19).
Haplogroup E3b is indicated, but not confirmed, for kit #75801.
The DYS markers shown in red (on the DNA results section of this report) have shown a faster mutation rate then the average, and therefore these markers are very helpful at splitting lineages into sub sets, or branches, within your family tree. Explained another way, if you match exactly on all of the markers except for one or a few of the markers we have determined mutate more quickly, then despite the mutation this mismatch only slightly decreases the probability of two people in your surname group who match 11/12 or even 23/25 of not sharing a recent common ancestor.
In the colored subgroups for the Y results, I have selected two subgroups: Northeast ancestors and Carolina ancestors. These two subgroupings each have commom DNA. There are some people in the Northeast group that have their earliest ancestor who is not from the Northeast, but this group's DNA all descends fron the Cases who migrated from England to the Northeast part of the Colonies.
