Ask FTDNA matches to test BigY

During the current sale, ask the FTDNA matches https://www.familytreedna.com/my/y-dna-matches to try testing BigY if they are interested and can afford.

Hello,

you are one of my closest STR matches on FTDNA - my kit# is B161787.

While STR testing is interesting and can reveal a lot, there is now a more powerful technique of SNP testing (see https://isogg.org/wiki/Y-SNP_testing for more details). I am personally CTS10228+, S17250+, Y4882+ and Y16473+ (see https://www.yfull.com/tree/I-S17250/ for some details). I am naturally most interested in uncovering further structure in Y16473 (which many of my close matches will be part of), I am also glad for any additional testing revealing our early Slavic ancestors.

Currently the ultimate SNP test - Big Y (https://isogg.org/wiki/Y-DNA_next_generation_sequencing) for the lowest price ever - 395$. If you ever considered this ultimate test to reveal your paternal lineage up to a 100 year precision, now is the time :) I have also leveraged a recent sale and I am now eagerly awaiting my own BigY results.

I am a member of the I2a project https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/i-2a-hap-group/activity-feed - if you have not already, I encourage you to join! The admins are extremely helpful in aiding our research.

My own Krchak ancestors are rumoured to come to Moravia (Javornik, Hruba Vrbka) from Slovakia -- and this is definitely not disproved by the DNA, as many of my closest matches are Slovak and Hungarian, but also Polish. More testing can definitely reveal more information.

Hope you will consider further testing at FTDNA, but regardless of that, I am glad to connect and help with your own research.

Kind regards, paternal Slavic cousin Kuba kuba.krchak@gmail.com krchak.myheritage.com wikitree.com/wiki/Krchak-1
