Coming Soon: Y-DNA Haplogroups for Family Finder

[Mabrams]

In the last 3 days my branch got about 40 new members. That's significant.
Too bad I won't see most of them, only a fraction are STR matches. Speaking of my STR matches with a FF test, there is still a lot to be done.

I have gotten 30 new Family Finder haplotypes in the last 3 days and 60 over the last 4 or 5 days.  

but....

I think its better to focus on your Y12 matches (with Family Finder updates).   These men have already matched you, even if just Y12, and tend to be skewed closer to your haplotype.    Whereas your Family Finder haplotypes will be all over the Y Tree.  

I could go into great detail but regardless, at the end, the relevant matches will be a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a .....

Nevertheless, since FTDNA is processing 200,000 or 300,000 Family Finder men there is still a decent possibility of finding "A Few Good Men".   

The key SNP for me from Family Finder jumped from 992 to 1029 two nights ago.  18 of these show up on my Y12 list.   (There were only 11 five days ago.)  So at least this fraction is bending favorably in my direction. 

I also look at my Y25 list, but sadly the key Family Finder SNP has not shown up there.
