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.

One way to do the conversions is to go to http://www.smgf.org, 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.

To go from old RG/old DNAH to Ancestry/current DNAH, add the following to the old RG/DNAH results:
DYS441 +1
DYS442 +5

I think a lot of people are confused about this issue. When the Romans occupied Britain a couple of thousand years ago, they used the label \"Picti\" to refer to all the people north of their new walls (Hadrian\'s Wall, followed by the Antonine Wall), in the same way that any occupation army refers to all of their enemies as \"-------\" (whatever label). The name stuck & now people refer to the Picts as the ancient inhabitants of what is now Scotland. So anyone & everyone who is a descendant of the people who were living in Scotland when those \"Picts\" acquired their label, & before their culture & language of the Picts was assimilated into the modern nation of Scotland, is likewise a descendant of Picts, by simple definition. All that the name implies is the ancient inhabitants of Scotland. That would undoubtedly include many, many haplogroups & haplogroup subclades. We can reasonably suggest that haplogroup clusters that comprise a fairly large portion]]> Sat, 12 Jan 2008 09:23:00 +0000 add http://berrydna.pbwiki.com/Searching+SMGF+for+mtDNA+sequences email.hidden@example.com (langolier) langolier edited Searching SMGF for mtDNA sequences If your {rarest} surname is not quite so rare, you may see several results.

If FTDNA results were uploaded to Ysearch using the automated upload feature, not entered by hand, you may append \"?providerkey=XXXXX\" to the Ysearch URL, where \"XXXXX\" is the kit number, and if that kit number was the source of an automated upload, then the Ysearch session will be \"primed\" with the corresponding Ysearch ID as the default for such things as looking for genetic matches.

!mtDNA H and K Rules of Thumb

From a GENEALOGY-DNA mailing list post by Kathy Johns

16311C is common in more than one haplogroup. -- By itself it is usually H

16311C + 16519C is also usually H but not H2b

16235G + 16311C is also usually H

16235G + 16311C + 16291T is usually H2b, however,

16235G + 16311C + 16224C + 16519C is K.

It appears that the 16224C and the 16519C are characteristically linked in K and

that 16235G + 16291T are characteristically linked in H2b

so that is the best way to tell these apart when 235 + 311 are also involved but there are always exceptions.

Note: H2b is the old classification
