I say this because when I run the surname report for R-Z211, I see Vanderhoof, one of my 37 marker matches whose terminal was just updated this week. The same when I run the surname report for R-CTS4065, I now see Holland and Hurst, whom I also match at 37 markers and their terminal was updated several weeks ago.
When I do that, I get just a couple of names, despite the hundreds of members. Definitely far less than their should be, I don't even know what this covers and why both STR, SNP, BigY and FF members surnames being not shown.
If I go to E-Z5018, there pops up a single surname and I don't know why exactly that one.
What exactly is that "view by surname" in the public haplotree for? And why exactly those surnames?
