Understand Your DNA Results and Your Matches

Understand Your Results and Matches

 
 
Family Tree DNA will send you an email when your results are ready.  (If you have ordered 37 or 67 markers, the results will probably come in as panels, not all on the same day.) 
 
You can follow the results through the lab and get an estimated time for the results to be ready by clicking “Pending Results” on your personal page at FTDNA.
 
Here is some information to help you understand what you are seeing
 
 
There are two places that you can see your DNA test results
  • The Project's Results Page--the page of the project's website where your yDNA results are shown with all the others.
    • Within a few days, your Project Administrator will probably post your yDNA results on the project's y-Results Page
    • You should receive an email whenever new results are posted on the project's y-Results Page at World Families. 
    • Take a look at the project's y-Results Page to see your results, or to see any new results that have been posted. 
    • To find the project website for your surname, search here:  
           
           
      (Or, go to the Surname Projects page of the World Families website to search.)
    •  
    • To understand your results as posted on the project's Results page, go to Understand Your Results on a WFN Results Page.
