To start my discussion, I have two questions I hope someone can answer:
1. I tested mtDNA with both FTDNA and SMGF (about two years ago). I cannot seem to find my SMGF results on its page. (Probably I just don't know how....) If I input FTDNA's results I am there, pedigree and all. Two purple non-matches show up in the area of FTDNA's 522- and 523- even for my own pedigree result, and I cannot find myself with fewer than those two "mismatches." I don't know how to input anything that will show SMGF's own results. A search on my surname(s) brings up the pedigree record I submitted, but all the squares are purple mismatches. The pedigree is mine and there are no matches, whereas the other search inputting FTDNA's results shows a few with those "minus-2" matches. I hope they are actually matches and that SMGF's nomenclature for these markers is just different. If I could find SMGF's markers, or nomenclature for their markers, maybe I could be sure.
2. Where on SMGF's pages is the haplogroup of the submitted result displayed? I've searched around with the difficulty noted above, but nowhere do I find where the haplogroup of my sample (or my minus-2 matches) is shown.
According to FTDNA I am:
HVR1: 16287T
HVR2: 73G, 146C, 263G, 315.1C, 522-, 523-
Haplogroup H4 (relatively quite rare, I believe)
I must really be missing something with my exploration of SMGF's pages. Any help out there?
With regards of your two questions:
1. FTDNA recently changed the way they report the deletion of minisatellite CA at location 522-523. SMGF still reports that same deletion as two events 523d and 524d. You should try entering your FTDNA results to search the SMGF database using 523d and 523d instead of 522- and 523-. Let me know if it works.
2. SMGF does not report haplogroup information as they are not relevant for matching purposes in the two databases currently available on their website. However, SMGF has provided www.GENETREE.com with all the tools and information about haplogroups (descriptions, distribution, predictions, world migrations, world phylogenetic trees, etc.). All you have to do is to create a free account with www.GENETREE.com and upload your mtDNA data from FTDNA. Remember to use 523d and 524d for the double deletion. You will be able to enjoy a number of tools to help you understand your mtDNA haplotype.
