Hi All, I have been taking care of the spreadsheets for a small surname Y-DNA project. I have no problem with what I am doing; making values match between Heritage DNA & FTDNA (and others). I have all the correction numbers necc. to do this. At the current time I have been converting them to Heritage values, as that is the way it has been done since the project started. We are currently advising new members to test with FTDNA, trying to eliminate some of the problems that crop up. We can also get more markers tested this way, since we are largely a R1b1b2 type group. Soon, I will convert the DYS values in question to the FTDNA format... depending on how my question is answered. It would save me a great deal of time if one of the pro admins. could help me with the amswer/s. Ques.: In order for the various databases to jive, what is the correct nomenclature to use. Is FTDNA using the proper values or is this a huge mess between the various test vendors & databases? If this has been discussed in detail before, pointing me to a thread or web link would be fine. Thanks! Tracy W. Denny (Denney)

Tracy have a look at Y search for entering a new account and there is a conversion there to bring them to FTDNA values bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Denny" <tdenny1@comcast.net> To: <y-dna-projects@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 2:34 AM Subject: [Y-DNA-projects] Proper Nomenclature - one for the pros. > Hi All, > > I have been taking care of the spreadsheets for a small surname > Y-DNA > project.
