By Robert Stafford The conversions between the firms using Sorenson Genomics and FTDNA have become quite complex with the former's use of ISGF nomenclature. Six markers are involved: DYS441, DYS442, DYS452, DYS463, Y-GATA-10 and Y-GATA-H4. to http://www.smgf.org, SMGF, select the lab where testing was done (from lab), clear all values, enter the values for the six markers and then select the lab that you are converting to (to lab). Note that FTDNA is not the same as Y-Search. If you are trying to convert results for Y-Search, select Relative Genetics as the to lab and subtract 1 from the resulting value at Y-GATA-H4. The RG values at SMGF follow their old nomenclature. On 1 Aug 2007, Sorenson Genomics made changes for Ancestry.com for 5 of the 6 markers. On 23 Aug 2007, they added a change for DYS441. DNAHeritage followed suit in Dec 2007.

If your {rarest} surname is not quite so rare, you may see several results. Look for the result on which the matrilineal names (listed beneath the result) match yours. Click on the 'Pedigree' symbol to the left of that result to determine that it is, indeed, yours. Print out that screen, then click on Search Again. This time fill in some non-CRS values. In theory, there could be 3 other possible substitutions for a T (C or G or A), but in practice, the vast majority of substitutions will be C. You can search the GENEALOGY-DNA mailing list archives using the keywords 'transitions transversions' for more background on why this is so, but the substitutions will generally be back and forth between these pairs: C T <-> T G A <-> A On the other hand, if an item showing is 315.1, for example, with no CRS value below it. That means that you have an insertion compared to the CRS (practically everybody does have this, as the CRS has the rare version there). This insertion is in a stretch of C's, so you have 315.1C. When you have entered those non-CRS values in HVR1 and HVR2, then search again. This time you should be a perfect match, with all pink squares and the bases from your query in a bold font. Now you can go back and Search by Differences instead of Search by Surname. If you allow up to two differences, you may have many more matches. Some of those show purple squares, where *they* differ from the CRS but you don't (faint font). See also this SMGF mtDNA search recipe.
16235G + 16311C + 16291T is usually H2b, however, 16235G + 16311C + 16224C + 16519C is K. {NOTE: That would probably be a K, but a rare one. 16235G is only rarely found in K. The old motifs for K were 16224C and 16311C, but that was before 16519C was generally tested. 16224C is the key.} It appears that the 16224C and the 16519C are characteristically linked in K and that 16235G + 16291T are characteristically linked in H2b
