4) Project Member Pages
Note: Be sure to visit the Marker Results Page
on the FTDNA website it is the basis of the
groupings used on this website
Both the following pages have the same or
similar information but Display it in different
formats:
Classic:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/finch/default.aspx?section=yresults
Colorized:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/finch/default.aspx?section=ycolorized
Groups:
The project is divided into groups of matching or
similar participants
The groups ideally are of matching individuals but
in some cases the group could be created because
the participants have similar haplogroups
There are groups comprising Finch, Fincher and
one for Finch Cousins who no longer carry the
Finch surname (Non Y Finch Cousins)
How the Groups Were Formed:
There is no significance to the numbering of charts.
They were created chronologically when needed
1) First, everyone in the group has the same Hapogroup
2) Second, FTDNA provides every participant a
Personal Page
3) On each participant’s Personal Page there is a
listing ranking all matches for the participant
based on Genetic Distance
The Groups on this site were created based
on the Genetic Distance Supplied by FTDNA
What you see on the Groups Pages:
Within each group each individual is listed by
Kit number, not by name
Named first, is the earliest proven ancestor
of the participant including the ancestor’s name,
dates and places
Kit Numbers are Hyperlinked:
If a participant has submitted his lineage the
Kit Number is hyperlinked
Click on the hyperlink and it will take you to
the complete lineage As submitted by the
participant
If A Kit Number is not hyperlinked:
The participant has not submitted his
lineage and is encouraged to do so
For instructions on how to submit lineages
Please contact Mic at mic@micbarnette.com
Participant Pages:
Each participant page includes the participant’s
earliest proven ancestor, his dates and places plus a
complete lineage from that ancestor down to but not
including living people
The page includes the participant’s Group Name,
Haplogroup and the person to contact for more
information on that lineage.
Sometimes the contact person is the participant
but often it is another person such as a wife,
sibling, adult child or other relative
Search Engine:
The Search engine searches the whole website
Search for names, places, etc
Good for digging deeper into participant pages
and information not indexed in the Categories
Page
Categories:
Use the drop down Category page menu
The Categories links are a cross index for the
subjects of each of the submitted participant
lineages
If a participant has not submitted his lineage
they are not included in the participant pages
Click on a Group to see a list of members of that group
Click on the name of an early proven ancestor and
See a listing of those who have the same ancestor
Click on a location and see a listing of participants
associated with that place
Click on a Haplogroup and see a listing of those
participants with that Haplogroup
