About us

LINKS Section - You'll probably need to 'page back' on your browser to return to this Y DNA project, as these links will take you to a different website.


The best place to start is FTDNA's FAQ section. 


Some general links:


DNA News Websites, a 'top ten' list from DNANews.org.   

ISOGG's Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree for 2011 (subject to change per information on new SNPs)

Whit Athey's Haplogroup predictor.

MeGee's Y-Utility is here

Ysearch is a very useful tool as anyone who has Y-DNA tested with any company can enter his results for comparison.

Diana Gale Matthiesen has an amazingly huge web site full of DNA- and genealogy- related information and links.  You can access her home page here, plan to spend some time exploring her site.  A good place to start is her 'DNA Hub' link located at the bottom of the Home Page.

Links more specific to FTDNA's Family Finder test:


For those of you with Family Finder test results, here is an explanation on how our X Chromosomes are recombined.

ISOGG's "Identical By Descent"  (IBD vs IBS explanation).  This is from ISOGG's Wiki site, there is a lot of other good information there.
