I joined last Oct 2018, and I am still not listed in the mtdna list. My mtdna haplogroup is C1b9. Thanks!

Hi Mary, on my maternal side it's C1b9. My grandmother was Andrea Solis Amador.

Hi Primo, my Y haplogroup is RP311, the farthest I've gotten on my dad's ancestor is Juan Gomes(z) Mascorro and mtDNA haplogroup is A2-G135A! and the farthest I've gotten on my mom's ancestor is Maria Francisca de Herrera...thanks!

I'm in the process of making changes to the groups in the project's DNA results page. The old way of grouping YDNA was based on surname and current haplogroup. This meant some people who should be grouped together were split up. The new way will group based on their YDNA markers matching regardless of surname or current terminal haplogroup designation. If there are no matches for you in the project, then you are grouped by surname similar to the old way. If your paternal or maternal line were not ever in Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Coahuila, or South Texas, let me know. That will help in placing some people in a separate group from the rest to disregard the data not significant to this region.

You can email me. If you see my name on the left side of this page. Click there for my email. Though it is better for it to be in the family tree in the kit for future use. However, the subgroups I mention are for the YDNA and mtDNA results. Jonathan's kit has neither test taken. So there is no group I can put him in with no results.

Hi David, I noticed you're gathering info on the A2ae Mt DNA haplogroup. Will you include A2-G153A! ? Just wondering and thanks

I do intend on branching out. Will likely focus on those clusters with more testers and data as limited testers may not be enough to figure out their connection.

William, are you a direct line descendant of Tomas Sanchez Barrera, born 1646 in Monterrey Nuevo Leon and the Founder of Laredo Tamaulipas Mexico? He was the son of Francisco Sanchez Barrera and Maria Duran Uzcanga. If yes, have you taken the paternal Y test? May I ask what is your haplogroup?

We've been in Laredo only since the early 1900s. Prior to that, my Ramirez line ran through Lampazos, Saltillo, Monclova, and Villaldama.

I started this journey a little over a year ago. My twin and I were trying to find out who our biological father is. Through DNA we found him. We also found a lot of cousins and we are so excited to meet them. Most family is in Texas. We are going there very soon. So excited.
Mary DeBerry Mary DeBerry has a question!

“ My name is Mary De Berry, I am trying to find info about my biological father. The only thing I know about him is he would have been in the military in Germany in 1955. My twin and I were born in October 1955. My mother is deceased. Her name at the time was Ursula Machenheimer. She was born and raised in Germany. We have in in Florida since 1968. Any info at all is greatly appreciated. ”

What are the numbers 1-20? Are they chromosome breakdown ?

Hello.. I have completed my family tree for YDNA and MTDNA.. my MTDNA is c1b..last recorded ancestor is in Portugal..do not see my name on list..thank you for all you do

how far back would one have to go to get to C1b..is it possible that the last person with records I have is from Portugal but beyond that ...from Asia then thru the Bearing Straights to the Ancient Native American Tribes and then down from the Andes..just speculating..
David Reta
February 17 @ 12:39am
A published scientific paper estimated C1b being born around 15,000 years ago give or take a few thousands of years. It has only been found in the American continents. You may have Portuguese ancestors, but your maternal line must not have come from Portugal. That is unless it was born in the Americas first.

highly unlikely..but probable. there is a Cisneros connection married to a Zuni woman in the 1600 in my tree..but not a direct ancestor..thank you for your input.i look forward to your results on my brothers Y test

FTDNA DNA Sale ends March 31. After FTDNA has a conference they normally have some sort of sale. Their conference used to be in November but this time in March. These coupon codes are for new tests or new addons to existing kits. Not for upgrades (like Y37 to Y67). $30 off Family Finder ------------ GGC19FF $50 off Y-37 ------------------------ GGC19Y37 $70 off Y-67 ------------------------ GGC19Y67 $70 off Y-111 ----------------------- GGC19Y111 $200 off Big Y700 ----------------- GGC19BIGY $50 off MtFull Sequence -------- GGC19MTFULL Existing Big Y500 users can upgrade to Big Y700 for $179. After March the price goes up to $249. After you placed the test in your cart, you can add the coupon before proceeding. If you intend on getting multiple tests for the same kit, login to the kit first. Then order one test at a time as only once coupon code can be used at once. The next sale will likely be near DNA Day (April 25). EDIT: YDNA Upgrade coupons to get to Big Y700. $180 off Y12 - Big Y 700 ------------ GCC19122BY $150 off Y25 - Big Y 700 ------------ GCC19252BY $120 off Y37 - Big Y 700 ------------ GCC19372BY $100 off Y67 - Big Y 700 ------------ GCC19BYUP $100 off Y111 - Big Y 700 ----------- GCC19BYUP

I added 3 kits I manage to this project. I don’t understand how to read or find the kits on them on the DNA results page. Two of them were taken on Ancestry and one on Family Tree. Any help would be appreciated in trying to find these kits, TIA.
David Reta

The DNA Results Pages only show kits with YDNA and mtDNA results. If the kits do not have these kits, they do not appear on these pages. Otherwise when they first are joined into a project, they are automatically placed in the "Ungrouped" subgroup.
