The Casey Surname DNA Project - FTDNA & Other Resources

McGee's Y-DNA Comparison Utility

I found this cool tool in the forums on the FTDNA site. You can paste in information from a Surname Project results chart, and it will generate multiple, color-coded, comparison charts of different types. I can't wait until we get more of our results in!

FTDNA 59 Marker Test

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:02:07 -0500

On the FTDNA site today they announced a new 59-marker Y-DNA test. Who's gonna upgrade first?! It's a $99 upgrade from the 37-marker test.

Ysearch Web Site

One service available to members of Family Tree DNA is a web site called Ysearch, which can be found at http://ysearch.org. Ysearch is a free public service offered by FTDNA on which individuals who have had their DNA tested can share their results, and search for matches, regardless of which company did their test. While our surname project is hosted by FTDNA, and it compares results only for Casey's who've been tested at FTDNA, the Ysearch site provides an additional opportunity to share your results and search for matches beyond FTDNA.

It's easy to add your test results to the Ysearch site from FTDNA. See the instructions from the Ysearch site below:
