    1. [DNA] BigY Analysis Apparent Contradiction (thus probably my misunderstanding?)

    3. I am trying to figure out some way to evaluate matches of our family's BigY testers. The matching kits tab in FTDNA ranks the matches by Known SNP Difference (low to high). There is also a column for Shared Novel Variants (sorted high to low within each Known SNP Difference). So I have one kit where I go to the Novel Variants tab, and I see that there are 11 novel variants. Then I go back to the Matching tab, and I see that there are kits listed under the Shared Novel Variants column that have 146, 139, 142 shared novel variants. If my family member has only 11 novel variants under the Novel Variants tab, how can he share 146 novel variants with someone on the Matching tab?
