But FTDNA calls John a close relative of Fred and Jane a less-close relative of Fred. In what world is this right?<br /><br />(I made up these people don't go looking for them.)IsraelPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748957039859625149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223435721248605051.post-91775424244287132022017-03-20T21:47:25.913+02:002017-03-20T21:47:25.913+02:00Here's the answer I got from FtDNA about the d...Here's the answer I got from FtDNA about the discrepancy in the number of overall matches between two male full siblings: <br />"Thanks for contacting us. Ancestry's V2 and 23andme's V4 tests analyze fewer and different autosomal SNPs than our Family Finder test analyzes. We were able to make transfers work with our Family Finder product, but because of the SNP discrepancy, Speculative Matches are not available with V2 or V4 transfers. We will be rolling out the ability for customers to order a kit to test for their Speculative Matches (6th-Remote Cousins) within the coming weeks."Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494190967174359622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223435721248605051.post-88756937466044216062017-03-20T05:30:37.771+02:002017-03-20T05:30:37.771+02:00Okay, here's a weird one - My father has 2345 ...Okay, here's a weird one - My father has 2345 matches; he did a YDNA67 12/14/2015, a free atDNA txfr from Ancestry 9/4/2015 and an unlock onthe atDNA 3/28/2016; his full brother who I transferred to FTDNA on 2/17/17 his test from Ancestry that was completed 9/30/2016 only has 241 matches.
