Coming Soon: Y-DNA Haplogroups for Family Finder

Where do you get that stat from?

You can determine the number of Big Y tests by typing A-PR2921 in "Go to Branch Name" in the block tree and then hovering your mouse over the Aggregated Public Variants under Both A-L1090 and A-L1087 which will display the number of downstream Big Y participants.

Currently there are 109,529 Big Y tests under A-L1090 and 9 Big Y tests under A-L1087 or 109,538 total

Thanks. I found what you mentioned in the Big Y block tree. They should add those stats to the public haplotree.

I've been tracking the number of men on the public haplotree since July 2023. Here are the numbers I recorded on 1st day of each month since then.

Thanks. Your numbers are the same as Hygelac. That's good.

Have you kept track of total Big Y kits on a monthly basis?

I started in July 2023, when I figured out how to do so.

FTDNA should provide, in the Public Haplotree, the actual number of STR tested kits with SNP testing and the number of FF kits without STR testing in addition to the total number of SNP tested kits and the total number of Big Y tested kits.

There is also a number of people with STR tested people without FF. I guess they are about 25%. So we will all still see people with STR matching, even at the Y67 or Y111 level, without a haplogroup.

Wish List

FTDNA should add a BigY Filter to the HaploTrees. 

It would make getting accurate assessments of branch developments much easier if we had direct counts, and not have to manipulate the numbers from different screens and then wonder if our approach is valid.

The large influx of FF kits is changing the character of the tree.  Even more so, when the V2s start hitting the tree.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a filter although it would be nice. As you can see I had already mentioned that they should provide the total number of Big Y tested kits in the haplotree. I was implying that it should be a separate count and that the count should be reflective of each specific branch of the haplotree. Same goes for STR tested kits in the Haplotree.

edit: I wonder if the Haplotree is being updated based on Big Y and FF v3 kits only or if they are also updating the Haplotree using the v2 kits that have been given a haplogroup.
