I had my brother take the test for my sister do research on our paternal side. I was trying to figure out how to read and make sense of the results following your explanation, doing so I found that my brother's results match yours in more than one sequence. His is DYS38911/30 value DYS391/10 value, DYS388/12value and two others being off by 1 dys393/12 and dys393/14 I would like to know what does it mean when this many sequences matches, I will be calling my sister who is our family researcher to inform her about this perhaps she can help also. Thanks again for you clear explanation on this matter.Al'jananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364864600411811248.post-4683722532892967652017-04-07T13:23:37.217-07:002017-04-07T13:23:37.217-07:00I should have added that the relationship on my te...I should have added that the relationship on my testing says the two samples are connected farther out than 4 generations.Tigerlady11https://www.blogger.com/profile/11417983115588715872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364864600411811248.post-66609845984023370602017-04-07T13:22:16.464-07:002017-04-07T13:22:16.464-07:00Hi Steve, I have been researching a very common na...Hi Steve, I have been researching a very common named ancestor, Williams, and had y-DNA of my brother compared to a man whose family I had researched through census and believed to be related to my great grandfather. Our family stories had him as an orphan, James Williams. I ordered 67 markers for both of the samples I sent and they match in all the markers except two. The Haplogroup for them is R-M269 for both. I'm confused if this does confirm the relationship because, according to my paper research, the common ancestor is connected at 4 generations (brother, father, great grandfather, gg grandfathers were brothers). The odd thing is that both of the kits I ordered from FTDNA never get the same matches. I'm confused to say the least.

The Y-DNA uses a series of repeated DNA markers known as STR or standard terminal repeat <br /><br />For example the DNA sequence CATCAT is an STR. Since the sequence (CAT) is repeated twice we give it a number of 2. Studied known STRs on the Y-DNA are called DYS markers. For example DYS393 is a known STR on the y-DNA. It's known DNA sequence is AGAT.<br /><br />Let's say both you and I have the DYS393 marker which in fact we do as all human males do.<br /><br />Anthony DYS393 = 1 (AGAT)<br />Steve DYS393 = 2 (AGATAGAT)<br /><br />Our genetic distance is difference between the number of repeats. Since I have one extra repeat - the difference is 1 or step count.<br /><br />Matching on the Y-DNA between two or more men means a single shared male common ancestor that lived in the past<br /><br />Hope that helps<br /><br />Steve (Sorry for the late response)<br /><br />Sent from my iPad<br /><br />On Aug 1, 2015, at 10:02 AM, "Anthony Phillips" wrote:<br /><br />Hi Steve - I am at a loss here as I have never known who my father was and I carry my mothers surname of PHILLIPS but I am not a Phillips obviously and as we do not speak I will never find out the truth.
