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.
