My paternal Y-DNA I1 L69/ Y18103 FT155455 BY96216 (Y52957) Branch of the North European haplogroup I1-M253, which from about 1000 years occurs mainly on the Southern coast of the Baltic Sea. It is called the I1-Vistula branch, because most of its members are descendants of Germans, Poles, Pomeranians and Old-Prussians, living at the Vistula River Basin. The most recent common ancestor of us arrived probably in 9th or 10thcentury AC to the Gdansk/Danzig Pomerania, which in those times was under Danish control, from the Norwegian/Swedish/Danish coasts of the Skagerrak Sea in Scandinavia.

My last known paternal grand father line is I1-Y18103 Zagudaev Boris (1918-198?) (Lived in Yekaterinburg, Russia). Son Alexey 1947 and daughter Svetlana ~1950

Hi Dmitri,
Thanks for posting.
Note that for some reason, familysearch isn't displaying the graphics.
First, since you're only a couple generation away, autosomes would be best for identifying your grandfather. Otherwise, you're heading down a fruitful path...
Yes, we use DNA to get leads on our ancestry, but the name themselves, of course, are not recorded in the DNA. Just as autosomal DNA helps us find cousins who might know about the lineage, so does Y-DNA. Once you have the data, you next need to find those who match. That can be hard because we're taking perhaps 5th cousins and beyond, people you're not likely to have heard about through family lore.
Thanks for the links to YFull. They present the data clearly and cleanly. Their estimate is that your Y52957 is at least 1200 years old. Cousins connected back that far are not going to be easy to find or be that helpful. Now, you likely have a large number of novel variants that emerged since your ancestor of about 800 CE. You'll want to get them parsed out as effectively as possible. Your terminal SNP will then be on something of the order of 400 years old, give or take. Finding matching cousins, then, begins much more reasonable. Other than the matching SNP, a good way to identifying them -- assuming they've tested, of course -- is through the Y-111. If any names sound familiar, ask them to test. If any have done the Big Y, see if the show up in your matches. Compare the two genetic trees and compare the timeline.
As no doubt you've learned, this is very much a waiting game. But by being proactive, you might be able to push it forward a little quicker.
I'm in a similar boat. My R1a-YP4248 is more than 1,000 years old. But I also know my own genealogy nine generations back and have found several matches on the terminal SNP, YP4491. But we still have that huge gap to travel. To help get us there, I've started the R1a-YP4248 Subclade Project. We're pulled in maybe a dozen or so surnames, many with EKAs and locations, and have constructed a SNP tree and a map of sorts. The home page is only a few months old and is sparse, but there are techniques being used there that might help. (I hope to have a Y-111 study ready soon.)
http://dna.ancestraldata.com/YP4248/
Sorry I can't be more specific than that. It's about methodology . Genealogy is best done from the bottom up, the genetics generally is down from the top down. Somewhere the two will meet. By working both ends at once, we're going to shed some light on the murky area of the Middle Ages. Still, you want to find your guy's parents. Studying the Y-111 and pulling in as many testers as you can might be the place to look for now. But again, since he's only a couple of generations away, finding autosome matches would be especially helpful.
I hope that helps in some way. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Best,
Michael Cooley

You might enlist some closer relatives. The matching segments might begin to make sense. Is Zagudaev your paternal grandfather?

Thanks. I noticed the surname was different and just wanted to be sure we're on the same page.
Does FTDNA show you with any Big Y matches, with any Y-111 matches?

In the last 200 years, your ancestors may have lived in the following locations.
We found evidence of your recent ancestry in the following regions. Darker regions represent places where you have DNA in common with more people who report ancestry from that particular region. Because these results reflect the ancestries of individuals currently in our reference database, expect to see your results change over time as that database grows. Read more in Scientific Details.

Finding a mutual ancestor over 6-7 generations is very hard. And 40 shared SNPs pretty much takes the game outside the genealogical timeframe. Still, you're doing everything right. It's a waiting game at this point.
If you haven't already, I'd see if YSEQ.net offers testing on your more recent haplogroup and novel SNPs. They sequence individual SNPs for only $18. If there's someone you're suspicious about, you can ask him to test, say I-Y18103. I've paid for numerous such tests.
Have you looked at the Y-DNA groups on facebook? This is a good one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/257810104756408

Yes, BY96216 is stable and I've reviewed and confirmed this result from your BAM file. Now the display in the cladefinder box in your account should reflect the updated status.
This is how fast the Y tree develops, thanks to people like you who submit their BAM file to YFull.
At the time when we scored your results in May, the whole FT155455 branch was considered as private and didn't show up on the YFull tree.
Best regards,
Thomas

Yes, that's the kind of response one would expect from Thomas. He's a great guy.
The problem, of course, is that too many people don't submit to YFull. This might have changed lately, but the R1b admins were once discouraging it, preferring Alex Williamson's Big Tree.

the surname was different ....
1) How to know if my late granddad is my biological grandfather?
DNA Surprises support group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1798909400175879/
2) Adoptee
3) As a step child would you ever take your step fathers last name?
4) Many people were afraide of the Purge and changed theire last names after 1917 revolution and during Great Purge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge 1933-1938
5) Children of "ennemies of the people" as victims of the Great Purges

Yeah, there are several reason for an NPE. Are there Y-DNA Projects for any of these names. I was surprised to see that there are none at FTDNA for Smirnoff. Un;ess I missed it, it would be a good one to start.
