Mördersuche mittels DNA-Genealogie – neue Gesetze in Schweden und Dänemark
Vor gut fünf Jahren half der Genealoge Peter Sjölund der schwedischen Polizei, nach 16 Jahren den Doppelmord von Linköping aufzuklären. Er brauchte dafür fünf Wochen, die DNA des gesuchten Täters und die Daten von schwedischen Familienforscherinnen und -forschern. Nach den Erfahrungen mit diesem Pilotfall legen in Schweden und Dänemark jetzt neue Gesetze fest, unter welchen Umständen die Polizei die Forensische DNA-Genealogie, u.a. bei der Mördersuche, anwenden darf – erstmals […]

A distant Derby cousin and I recently got our Big Y-700 results back. I'm hoping other cousins from the last few centuries to millennium will test too to refine the results, but for now – behold our haplogroup! https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/I-FTF58625

So I'm getting tantalisingly close, but still waiting for that crucial first estimate of when the ancestor I share with some Derbies in America was born.
I think we're close to some of the connections on paper, but it will be hard to get any closer. DNA is a nifty extra tool to see if I'm on the right track.
A while back I upgraded to the Big Y-700 test with FamilyTreeDNA. Problem is, it takes months for the DNA sequencing to be done, then weeks to get a broad haplogroup (most recent common ancestor a few thousand years ago), then a more precise haplogroup (more recent common ancestor), then a list of matches and an estimate of how many years ago the most recent common ancestor was born.
A new 
adventure begins. Y not? mito's well.
(I've had my autosomal DNA results transferred to FamilyTreeDNA for a while now, but I'd like to get the hang of Y-DNA and mtDNA matches, and with the recent sale, I decided: why not start with myself?)

@sharnwhite @YourDNAGuide I'm no expert on DNA but I did mine on #familytreedna. Got the Y37 a few years back and then upgraded to Y111 last summer hoping I'd get a lot more results/matches. But nope, nothing. I think my understanding and expectations are lacking. Can you offer any insight? Thx!

"FamilyTreeDNA, an early pioneer of the rapidly growing market for consumer genetic testing, confirmed late Thursday that it has granted the Federal Bureau of Investigation access to its vast trove of nearly 2 million genetic profiles. [...] A study last year estimated that only 2 percent of the population needs to have done a DNA test for virtually everyone’s genetic information to be represented in that data."
