How do I add my BIGY test to WikiTree?

Question

I have done the BigY test with Family Tree DNA and i want to add it to my page

Answer 1

Andrew, I just finished a quick video tutorial showing the different tests. You can see it here:

If your own test doesn't fit in one of the specific categories, then you might be able to use the "Other YDNA" field.

 

Hope this helps for now...

I've been wondering that also. I just received my Big-Y results yesterday.  I've gone ahead and entered this under 'Other y-DNA'.  I will see if that works.  Good question, Andrew.

Answer 2

Use other Y-DNA Test.  Enter the most down stream (recent) SNP for your short hand haplogroup label.  In the note field describe any useful details (private SNPS, etc.)

I recommend this more precise SNP information replace the upstream haplogroup name  predicted by your Y-STR result.

Thanks for the information about what to add in the note field, Peter. My husband has had the yFull analysis done on his Big Y results from FTDNA, which gives me more precise SNP information. It doesn't show up at FTDNA because yFull is a different company. Do I add two "other Y-DNA" tests, one for the Big Y and one for the yFull analysis?

Use "Other yDNA" for his Big Y test.

yFull is a Y chromosome interpretation service (rather than a test).  You can add their conclusion in the note field for his Big Y test.

His 111? marker test provided a prediction of his haplogroup.  His Big Y test with his yFull analysis revealed a more precise (more recent) subhaplogroup.  I recommend using the more precise haplogroup instead of the predicted one.

OK, that makes sense. I will enter the Big Y under "other tests" and use the note field of the Big Y for the yFull conclusion. Then, I will replace the ":predicted" haplogroup I had entered for the Y-111 with the more precise subhaplogroup revealed by the analysis of the Big Y. Thanks.
