How do you include DNA results
Hi All,
I can see discussion on DNA. So does anyone have a good way to include DNA results in FH projects ?
I am interested in including not just Y-SNP terminal haplogroups but Y-STR scores if at all practical.
How do folk handle Y-STR, Y-SNP, autosomal and mtDNA data ?
George

Re: How do you include DNA results
For the time being I've put them in double square brackets in a simple note:
[[111 marker Y-DNA results DYS393: 13, DYS390: 24,...............]]
I don't know that that's particularly 'good' but it means I've got them stored, but they'll never appear in a report or webpage.

Hi William,
That's a good start. It makes sense.
So do you know many of your cousins scores or mismatched STRs ?

Re: How do you include DNA results
I'm just starting out - I've done a Y111 test for myself in the hope of linking in to the landed gentry Cummings of Moray - I'm sure the link exists. I've also had a test done on a Macleod cousin from Lewis as I'm doing some in-depth research there - there are 6 significant families who I believe are one extended family, and I'd like to demonstrate it through genetics.
But there's lots to do, and it's expensive!

Re: How do you include DNA results
George, if you use the Search options to look for DNA postings you will find some that talk about using custom facts for specifically recording DNA details and associating Individuals with matching DNA.
e.g. In the Extended Set of facts there is a DNA Markers fact already defined.
See glossary:work_with_fact_sets#custom_facts_from_other_products|> Custom Facts from other Products.

Re: How do you include DNA results
Hi William,
FTDNA have a sale on at present. They have a very good offer on Big-Y700 at $229 for anyone upgrading form Y-STR111. They have reduced the cost of the test by separating access to the BAM file which not everyone wants. With these prices anyone can now go straight for a Big-Y700 test which by-passes the previous Y-STR tests as it includes scores for 700 Y-STRs.
Have a read of this - https://dna-explained.com/2019/11/12/bi ... tats-sale/
The test gives an individuals Terminal haplotype and some Private Variants, or previously unknown SNP markers, and it is these I am interested in recording in FH. Is there anyone recording Terminal Haplogroups and Private Variants ?

Re: How do you include DNA results
Thanks Mike. More reading.
I would like to talk to anyone that uses this fact set.

What do you want to know about the Extended Set of facts?

Re: How do you include DNA results
I want to see if people use it. What their opinion is of how well it caters for their needs.

Re: How do you include DNA results
Anyone have any clues about what FH.v7 includes for DNA researchers ?

Re: How do you include DNA results
Most of the new tools I saw at RootsTech are for data Analysis. So functions for blood relations and MTDNA and Y detection, plus diagrams using those functions and some new reports. I envisage using Notes with the new Record Linking in notes to link across "gaps" where you know the common ancestors, this is similar to what I do now, but will mean I have l"live" links in the note.

Re: How do you include DNA results
Jane,
what is it you record ? Do you use DYS scores, terminal haplogroups & private variants or reported matches ?
How do you add the details ?

I have added how_to:recording_dna_matches|> Recording DNA Matches that is currently little more than a placeholder with cross-references to related tools and topics.

Re: How do you include DNA results
Jane,
have you uploaded your Ancestry results to FTDNA ? They do a Free Transfer and then you can join surname, haplogroup and geographic projects. They charge a small amount for use of their functions. It will give you access to their database for reviewing any autosomal matches. If you have access to any Y-DNA they have a sale on at the moment.
I had a quick look at your website earlier and was impressed by what you've achieved. I'm off now to have another look.

Re: How do you include DNA results
I use Jane's system which is much appreciated.
I was tested by ancestry but ulploaded to ged Match and FT DNA where there are DNA projects revelvant to my family.
However my brother being in USA is about to be tested with 23 and me. I dont know that they allow one to upload results from elsewhere.

Re: How do you include DNA results
I think FTDNA still accept 23 and Me tests. What is he hoping to discover ? Where are your roots ?
I suggest everyone joins any obvious surname projects but also a haplogroup and a geographic project. You can join as many projects as you want.
