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.
-------------------------
A very neat graphical representation that shows your Y Ancestor's migration over time from the haplogroups you descended from and ancient DNA grave samples, works the best with the Y-700 test: SNP Tracker (scaledinnovation.com) Click on SNP Tracker to get to the page, and enter your haplogroup. An example of one of the latest Leeper descendant Haplogroups is R-FTB76258.
You can also turn on ancient graves, migration paths at each point and other interesting things, just use the three bars on the right, above the map, I prefer to use the Europe view,
and turn on graves (the skull), and then slide the time slider around and fiddle with other features. It does put R-FTB6302 down in England, though all the samples go back to Scotland.
