Scrolling Results from the HAM Surname DNA Project:

The results from the HAM Surname DNA Project will be posted to the Family Tree DNA web site for the HAM DNA Project, and analyzed here.
The analysis here will be to cross-reference the DNA sequences with the oldest known ancestor.

TERMS:

DYS#   (DNA Y-Chromosome Segment marker number)
A label for genetic markers on the Y chromosome. Each marker is designated by a number, according to international conventions. At present, virtually all the DYS designations are given to STR markers (Short Tandem Repeats - a microsatellite class often used in genetic genealogy).

Haplo   (Haplotype group)
Here, the haplotype group will be estimated with FTDNA's estimates and/or Whit Athey's utility if the SNP (Single Nucleotide  Polymorphisms)  test has not been taken. Otherwise, the results of the SNP test will be used as returned from the vendor.
Predicted haplotype group will be in red. Haplogroup types confirmed with SNP testing will be in green.
From FTDNA: 

It is obvious from our observation of 1000's of samples that some markers change or mutate at a faster rate than others. While that actual 'faster rate' has not yet been definitively calculated, not all markers should be treated the same for evaluation purposes.

The markers in RED have shown a faster mutation rate then the average, and therefore these markers are very helpful at splitting lineages into sub sets, or branches, within your family tree. The volatility rate of these markers has not been established.

Explained another way, if you match exactly on all of the markers except for one or a few of the markers we have determined to mutate more quickly, then despite the mutation, this mismatch only slightly decreases the probability of two people in your surname group who match 11/12 or even 23/25 of not sharing a recent common ancestor.

If you have 2 people who match, exactly, except on a single marker and that marker is one that is highlighted in RED within your surname group then the current estimate of distance between 2 people are related is probably overstated, and they are more closely related than could be assumed by the distance suggested by a standard single marker deviation.

A comprehensive evaluation of marker by marker volatility rates is currently being organized by the Molecular Lab for Science and Evolution at the University of Arizona and FTDNA surname groups with verified documented genealogies will be able to participate in this study which began during August 2003.

NOTES:

DYS 464a-d is a highly volatile marker, and must be analyzed carefully, following the guidelines set forth by the folks at the Lab for Molecular Science and Evolution at the University of Arizona.

YCA II a/b are the only markers in our system that uses a bi (2) base pair repeat motif. In simple terms this means that a move by 1 or 4 'repeats' will be counted as a single evolutionary event rather then 4 evolutionary events when calculating genetic distance.

DYS 389ii and the DYS 389i calculation that is done funny. They are considered to be a pair.
You are supposed to  subtract the differences between  389ii and 389i for each person, then compare the two people.
Something like this:

40777:           DYS389ii - DYS389i =  30 - 14 = 16

42370:          DYS389ii - DYS389i =  29 - 13 = 16
                        and 16 - 16 = 0    (which means no difference)

  Then, subtract them from  each of our values (down the column) for DYS389i  (ONLY):

                40777  ( DYS389i ):     14
                42370  ( DYS389i ):     13
                                                        ---    
                                                         1     so there is one mutation for both 389i and 389ii
        and we have  + 1    mutation at  DYS19 between 40777 and 42370.
                                  ----
                     so           2   total mutations  between participants 40777 and 42370

That is, 40777 and 42370 are only off by 2 markers out of the first 25 markers

I had to look this up at the FTDNA Group Administrator page.  I would cut and paste here, but they say this is also explained on the web page for Kevin Duerinck:
