Dear All:
YDNA
Results:
The latest update of
the Y DNA Results (18 Jan 2008) is posted in the files at on
Y DNA Masterdase contains
over 2100 Y Dna results. The
Scottish Clans DNA
Masterdase includes both the Family
Tree DNA results and results from numerous
other sources that are sent to us.
Family Tree DNA Testing Program:
The Family Tree DNA alone has over
1000 results posted. Our project is now in the
Top 5 of all projects listed at
Family Tree DNA. I haven't counted the total number
of tests and the upgrades orders,
but it has to be one of the largest in the total DNA
tests completed.
The results of the Family Tree are
beginning to show some results from
for everyone. But a summary shows:
Unique Haplogroups:
A: YDNA-12 Markers
486 Results with over 70%
having a 12/12 match with others
Top is 32 exact unique match
B: YDNA -25 Markers
674 Results with 94 having a
25/25 exact match with others
Top being a group of 8 exact
unique match.
C: YDNA-37 Markers
646 Results with 12 having a
37/37 match with others
Six pairs of 2 unique exact
unique match
D: YDNA -67 Markers
273 Results with 4 exact unique
match with others
2 groups of 2 matching. (many
with less than 3 genetic distance)
New Software Analysis:
We've added two new Software
programs ( DNA-PAT & TNG ). They are both
on the server at:
for your use to post family trees
to compare paper documentation and to
assist in analyzing your own DNA
match.
Note that you need to establish a
user name and password for each
software program. Everyone is
welcome to use this software by merely
registering and requesting a
username. This is free and provided as a
service by the Scottish DNA
project. Access to these programs are at :
Analysis using the Master Database:
The Master
Database is a "split screen" version of the
Scot DNA Results that
we receive. You can remove
the split screen by merely
going under the
Tabs on the top
and remove the splits
screen.
To determine if there is a potential match ...you would merely:
a. Add your specific DNA results in line 16
b. Scroll the screen to each DNA entry to compare the results.
There is also the capability of using the arrows to set a particular
group of test
scores in the box
and that will then bring up all tests that match that particular
setting. Charlotte
Broun gets the credit for this particular creative method :-).
Be careful to note
that you are then rearranging all the results entries so only
change one DYS
setting at a time to compare results.
MtDNA Status:
There are also now 313 results
in the MtDNA database. This will be posted on the
My Family web site in the next few
days.
DNA Results from Other Projects:
Some of you may also have results from other Labs or
other Clan and Surname projects
and also want to be included in this database
format for the Master
database.
Online
Video and Web Conference:
There is also a new free service for
online web conferencing available to anyone
as well. This provides for Power Point,
Whiteboard, audio, etc. The Clans and
Families can then hold a online
discussion on the potential matches among their
own groups and compare their ancestry
directly online.
The techie people
(level 5 geek please) can
also create a video online that
can show their
results and family tree to send to other interested family
members :-).
Please drop me an email to schedule
this.
Main Scottish DNA Web Site:
There is a new main website established
at :
as well as links to other Clan, Family,
surname DNA projects.
The software for analyzing is also
hosted here.
We would also appreciate it very much if you would let other
Scottish Descendants
and Clan members
know of our group. Please feel free to forward this posting
