Why is my haplogroup listed in red on the Surnames Projects web page?
Your haplogroup is listed in red because it has been predicted by comparing your 12 marker results to a database of individuals who have had additional testing to confirm their haplogroup assignment. Because males who share the same allele values share a common male ancestor, and this ancestor can only belong to one haplogroup, males who have the same or very similar Y-DNA typically belong to the same haplogroup. Your haplogroup is shown in red because the haplogroup assignment was determined using this predictive method. If it’s listed in green, or if you are shown next to someone who is listed in green on the Surname project web site then that other persons Y DNA has been confirmed.
