DNA Tests available from FTDNA

The way this paper/meeting is being put together it will cover all groups of people from beginners, novice, advanced, and beyond. Depending on how in-depth you go into the items in any link and your interest in the topics. You can come back at any time and follow the web and learn new items and maybe discover new items/ideas that will add to the Basic Research that is being done with some of the studies.

1) Introductory remarks:
        This Web: Diagram shows how extensive this short presentation could actually be a multi-hour session(s) Web
        Very brief coverage of all areas and major DNA tests: Links to webpages as shown in Links below. Kraus/Krause surname one variant: Garden marker  Curly Parsley
        Interest in family History and who you are: Searching Your Roots.  DNA Genealogy,  Geno 2.0 report Data from this test was a break thru as it found F3744 SNP.
2) Brief coverage of DNA tests that you may have had, See DNA Genealogy link for backgound information. Pedigree Chart for sections of Pedigree covered by each test.
3) Autosomal Test (Family finder)
        See notes in DNA Genealogy and Racial Origins. Shared DNA chart
        Example Shared DNA FR matches Top matches,  Kinship chart,   Chromosome Browser images: Chr# 1-9,  Chr# 10-18,  Chr#15-X
4) mtDNA
        Mutations happen on average approx 3000 years so very difficult to determine when common ancestor might have lived.
5) Y-Chromosome
        DNA Analysis: How many markers to test for from DNA Genealogy  Mutations happen approx every 500 years on average. Big-Y mutations happen 144.41 yrs on average. Fifty mutations ago is approx 7200 years ago.  Ken Nordvedt research
        Stable vs. unstable Y-Chromosome lines in the same family. Case study of Corning surname group:  Branch-01 Krause, Br-01C is more unstable than the other branches
        Krause surname families that I follow: Branch Table  These different Krause Branches are all in my privatized database that is available at Arnie Krause's Database (Download page is the actual download section)
        See preliminary recorded version for demo of Krause names in aek740a database. Example reports from database:  Br-09,   Br-68,  and Br-82  Krause/variant
6) Groupings and how they are set up
      Actual screen images of existing groups and info that each shows.  Public page for Surname group: Y-Chromosome data Groups
        Assistant Administrator(s) Need somebody interested in helping with this group and be able to take over when I'm no longer able to do the job. I was the Assistant Admin for about 10 yrs with Dick Kraus as the Admin., then Dick just left and nobody was the Admin only me as the Assistant so FTDNA decided to make me the Administrator. Two Assistants would be the best from what I see.
7) Other items  A single feature that Ancestry.com has that is very useful but they don't have any other tools. Shared data Arnie
8) Future meetings?
9) Followup: You are welcome to attend the weekly Genealogy meetings that I am hosting at 1:00pm CST (same starting time as this one but every week on Sunday)
10) Closing
