Should I expect further refinements to my Big Y results?

Early this morning I received an email saying that my Big Y results are ready. For reference, my sample was batched on March 16 (batch 1702) as an upgrade from Y-37. The Y-111 results were completed on March 29.

My terminal haplogroup is currently J-BY205727, which seems to be a relatively small branch (FTDNA currently shows only a few known descendants and an estimated TMRCA around 350 BCE).

Since I just received the results, I’m wondering whether these are likely to be the final results or if I should expect further refinements over the next few weeks/months (e.g., new subclades from private variants, branch splits, age estimate updates, etc.).

I-FGC17386 Haplogroup - Scandinavian/Viking ancestry?

I’ve just received my results for my Haplogroup from FTNDA. The statistics around this Haplogroup seems to be very skewed to Scandinavian countries with tiny amounts of representation within the UK.

My paternal line, as far as I know, goes back to Somerset in the UK. Is this likely a Viking related Haplogroup?

Interestingly I have not found anyone online or who I’m related to who carries this haplogroup.

Anyone here from Germany who recently returned a kit to the US ?

I know and read the tutorials from FTDNA about international shipping but I just want to make perfectly sure that I do everything right when sending it back to the US. So please if there is anyone from Germany (or generally Europe too) who send their Kit back (explicitly with DHL/Deutsche Post) and can help me out through the process especially with returning it at the post office.

All help is welcome.

Thanks in advance!

MtDNA results seem broad?

Will the mitotree results be a more specific branch of the J1C that I have? I noticed that J1C does have more specific branches that offshoot from it, but I just have this more overarching result.

Also pretty new to this part of research, so would love to hear if I’m understanding wrong and how this can help me. My goal was to hopefully use this information to research a brick wall on my maternal line. I have requested to join the most helpful group, but I’m not sure if it’s very active anymore.

BigY Results From Turkey

Unfortunately i have no bigy matches nor str matches (only a few on y12 and very random.) What could it be the origin?

Is it normal for MitoTree results to take longer than a month AFTER the initial mtFull Sequence results become available?

When I click on the icon to go to the report for my haplogroup there is an information banner that says:

"No search results!

If your haplogroup is new on the FamilyTreeDNA mtDNA Haplotree, it can take a week or two for your report to become available.

We could not find any haplogroup matching that name. Please verify that it is a valid mtDNA haplogroup name in the longhand format (for example: H10a)."

It's definitely been longer than "a week or two". How long is it taking for people who have already gotten their MitoTree results?

Post-March 2026 Raw Files?

Does anyone know how the newer raw files post-March of this year differs from older versions? Does it include more SNPs than before or the same, and can it be used to obtain G25 coordinates?

Can’t Make Sense of Y-67 Match

I’ve recently upgraded from Y-37 to Y-111 and while I didn’t find any matches at Y-111, I did have a few show up at Y-67. The closest of these matches is showing up as a genetic distance of 4, but no matter how I try to understand how FTDNA is calculating this value I can’t make sense of it. I‘ve looked at FTDNA’s methodology for calculating Genetic Distance, and following it I’m getting a distance of 5 for this individual. See image

What I am also finding confusing is why they aren’t showing up at lower levels. Based on what I’m seeing they should be a Y-12 match, and if they are a 4 at Y-67 I don’t understand why they wouldn’t also be a 4 at Y-37 and therefore show up.

Does anyone understand what is going on here? I initially started doing my own comparison to see how far the match was from showing up as a Y-111 with the GD threshold being 10 at that level, but then it sent me into this rabbit hole of making sense of the lower level results.

New Big Y Haplogroup

Split the cost of upgrading one of my Y-67 matches to Big Y to get a newer haplogroup.

The previous was R-BY19400 (138BC), the current haplogroup is from 1058AD which is older than I was hoping for.

For some reason globetrekker isn't able to predict an origin even though me and the match both have entered our paternal ancestor location?

Coming to this, I thought kit dispatch would be a breeze like 23&me (they use FedEx). I probably ticked the basic delivery assuming that DHL delivery is fast anyway. Came to discover that my kit has been sitting at Melrose park DHL e-commerce centre for about a week now. So adjust your expectation accordingly if you use the basic DHL delivery service.
