The Big Y test at Family Tree DNA identifies SNP\u2019s in the Y-DNA that are passed down from Father to Son. Two people that both have the same SNP means they both have a common ancestor who passed the SNP down to each of them through their paternal line. Processing the results through YFull helps to better organize\u00a0the\u00a0data\u00a0into a useful format enabling us to better\u00a0find common SNPs as well as perpetually\u00a0updating the sites\u00a0YTree, reflecting newly found SNPs in a hierarchical structure. So far\u00a0we have 8 Big Y participants for Morrison Q \u2013 one still waiting for results from Family Tree DNA \u2013 two\u00a0still needing to be processed through YFull.<\/p>\n<p>Some observations and comments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Below is the Q-Males Big Y chart for Morrison-Q<\/span><\/strong>. A link to the most recent updated version can always be found under the &#8220;<strong>Y-DNA (Members Only)<\/strong>&#8221; section in the right column of our WEB page &#8211; &#8220;<strong>Q-Males BigY<\/strong>&#8221; link. You must first be logged in to access this link. (see <a href=\"https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/?page_id=2746\">FAQ Link<\/a> for explanation)\n<ul>\n<li>The red numbers signify the terminal SNP of each participant (currently <strong>R-FGC5577\u00a0<\/strong>for all in Morrison-Q). This is the most recent SNP passed down through a long line of SNPs in the patriarchal line. <strong>DF41<\/strong> was\u00a0our recognized terminal SNP &#8211; but since we identified <strong>DF41<\/strong> in our line several years ago &#8211; five\u00a0more newer SNPs have been found \u00a0(through the BigY test), the most recent has been identified as <strong>R-FGC5577<\/strong>. See the tree below &#8211; the red asterisks show the\u00a0direct line back to <strong>R-CTS2501 (DF41)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The green numbers are SNPs as well, but are\u00a0called Novel Variants because they are at present only found in one individual. Once they are also found in another person they are no longer considered Novel Variants. YFull puts each in a category according to how reliable the data is. The categories are:\u00a0Best &#8211; Acceptable &#8211; Ambiguous &#8211; Low. We only show the first two categories in our chart. Each Novel Variant listed per participant either first appeared in that participant or anywhere along\u00a0that participants paternal ancestral line from Patriarch James Morrison (but not including him) down to the participant.<\/li>\n<li>The purple numbers signify when two\u00a0people match, having the same Novel Variant. Before our\u00a0most recent participant received his report from YFull, there was only one participant who represented the line of William &#8211; Tom Akers (Q57). His results showed he had four\u00a0Novel Variants. When James Morrison (Q4) results came in he had four\u00a0Novel Variants as well. Between the two\u00a0of them &#8211; three of their\u00a0Novel Variants matched &#8211; now signified in purple. Sometime in the near future we should see these reflected\u00a0as a new Terminal SNP for them &#8211; which will also be added to the YTree. (We are still waiting for the YFull results for William Morrison &#8211; Q49)<\/li>\n<li>The brown number records how many reads for that SNP were found<\/li>\n<li>The Purple Bar shows each of the four Immigrant Brother lines as well as those who do not yet know how they fit into our tree.<\/li>\n<li>The Yellow Bar signifies each time there is a branch\u00a0in our tree with a new SNP showing. <strong>R-FCG5577<\/strong> is the SNP that is tied to all in Morrison-Q. It first occurred in our Patriarch James Morrison (father of the four brothers) or sometime before, through one of his paternal line ancestors. We also show a SNP branching\u00a0off within the line of William &#8211; this either occurred first in William himself or in his 3rd Son Andrew. \u00a0When we are able to test someone in the line of Patrick (Andrew&#8217;s Brother) that individual will either have one or more of the purple SNPs or they will not. If they do have the SNPs &#8211; that would mean the SNPs originated in William &#8211; passing down to both Andrew and Patrick. If they don&#8217;t have the SNPs &#8211; that would mean the SNPs originated in Andrew.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">In the YFull YTree below<\/span><\/strong> &#8211; you can see our direct SNP line highlighted with red asterisks. This is just the most recent of a very long line of SNPs going back to &#8220;Adam&#8221;\n<ul>\n<li>TMRCA =\u00a0The most recent common ancestor<\/li>\n<li>YBP = Years before present. This number is always being revised as more data is collected. It&#8217;s all based on statistics. Currently they have\u00a0<strong>R-FGC5577<\/strong> starting about 350 years ago, which is about right when you consider Patriarch James Morrison was born around 1675.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>With only eight participants so far involved &#8211; we are seeing some good results. I trust as we continue testing participants representing down to the forth generation of Q-Males &#8211; we will see some more branches discovered. For every green novel variant in our chart &#8211; we are looking for others with that variant as well &#8211; thus helping to determine\u00a0through which ancestor that SNP originated &#8211; using deductions based on who has and does not have those SNPs in their Y-DNA.<\/li>\n<li>These results will help in several ways:\n<ul>\n<li>Confirm what we already show with our paper trail<\/li>\n<li>Help to correct branches that conflict in the paper trail<\/li>\n<li>Identify new branches we never knew existed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>I hope this report has been helpful and not too confusing. We are all delving\u00a0into a new frontier &#8211; there is so much potential, sometimes I feel like I am drinking from a fire hose. We\u00a0need to keep reminding ourselves\u00a0to take it one step at a time &#8211; and enjoy the ride together&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Click on chart to enlarge<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Q-Males-BigY-2015-12-29.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3519\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3519\" src=\"https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Q-Males-BigY-2015-12-29-802x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Q-Males BigY - 2015-12-29\" width=\"640\" height=\"817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Q-Males-BigY-2015-12-29-802x1024.jpg 802w, https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Q-Males-BigY-2015-12-29-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Q-Males-BigY-2015-12-29-768x981.jpg 768w, https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Q-Males-BigY-2015-12-29.jpg 1603w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Click on chart to enlarge<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/YTree-2015-12-29-x.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3531\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3531\" src=\"https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/YTree-2015-12-29-x-1024x469.jpg\" alt=\"YTree - 2015-12-29\" width=\"640\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/YTree-2015-12-29-x-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/YTree-2015-12-29-x-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/YTree-2015-12-29-x-768x352.jpg 768w, https:\/\/morrison-q.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/YTree-2015-12-29-x.jpg 1882w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"page-restrict-output\"><p>Having\u00a0another Big Y test result processed through YFull \u2013 I thought it would be good to spend some time discussing our\u00a0results so far to date.
