disspointed with ydna results

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

Paid a lot for 37 marker test and it looks like I have no particulary close matches. They recommend me big Y which cost a fortune.
Kinda pissed about it. At least predictors assigned me correct subclade.

Those few matches I got are pretty confusing, so I can't really reconstruct how did I get this marker based on them.

wait, they didn't even give you a subclade ???

Post the results, let's see.

They did, but it's not very helpful. Predicted subclade , not confirmed.

R1b (U106>Z2265>BY30097>Z381>Z301>L48>Z9>Z331>>Z330>Z326)

Closest matches from Slovakia, Poland and Ireland.

ahh...makes me wonder what will happen with mine because i ordered the same thing.
well sorry to hear that man.

Str testing is not a good way to determine haplogroups, at least if you wish to know a more downstreams. For example, I know my haplogroup pretty far down the U152 tree but ftdna only predicted M269. If you know for sure that you're U106 you could always try out the superclade panel on yseq fpr 100 dollars if Big Y is too expensive.

Yeah, I think everyone gets R-M269 unless you contact admins to put you in more specific group. I got it also. Thanks on advice man. Maybe I'll try yseq, SNP testing is what I need.
Lack of matches is what made me dissapointed. It's obviously Germanic origin haplogroup, but my closest matches aren't Germanic so maybe it was assimilated by Slavs in middle ages or something lmao.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It can be quite underwhelming but all you can do now is to wait. I've spoken to people who've waited up to 10 years for any kind of relevant matches, which is sadly the case for many considering this whole thing is relatively young and still developing. You being from an even more untested region makes matters worse in a sense. I only have 2 matches at 37 markers and one of them doesn't even belong to the same clade as I do, so you're definitely not alone.
