Thomas C Brimm is a direct decendant of Brimm/Brim and Smith family

Question

Thomas C Brimm is my father's second cousin and a direct Brim/Brimm decendant.  My son Joe Marzullo and Thomas C Brimm are listed on my website.  How do I get Thomas's Y chromosome to show up on my line.  All blood test are being managed by myself.? I paid for Thomas to be tested (he does not have a computer) thru 23and Me and my son through Ancestry.

Answer 1

Hello Claudia,

Y-DNA is not associated unless the tester's privacy level is at least "Private with Public Family Tree."  Then within 24 hours his Y-DNA information will be associated with his direct paternal line.  It will not show up on any female profiles.

Sincerely,

Answer 2

Hi Claudia. Peter is correct, your son's and cousin's yDNA connections won't display until you have changed their privacy levels to Private with Public Family Tree. But I think there's another issue. In your question you said that the DNA tests the two men have taken were at 23andMe and Ancestry. Those aren't yDNA tests--they're autosomal DNA tests. If you want yDNA information for them you'll need to have them each take a yDNA test from Family Tree DNA. I would recommend they take a 37-marker yDNA test.
