This question comes up quite a bit. Basically, a person wants to find results on the classic or colorized charts on FamilyTreeDNA for the Smith DNA Project. There is now a search function, directly underneath the box that says MARKERS, on the page that goes to your kit when you want to look at the report. You can search by Kit Number, Paternal Ancestor Name, County, Haplogroup and Subgroup Name. Searching by kit number will show you only the kit number you are looking for. We suggest that you will likely want to compare your markers with others in the same grouping, so you will want to do SUBGROUP Name and then CONTAINS and put the group # in the search box, ie, GRP-R-M269-15 etc. (You can also use EXACTLY MATCHES if you know for sure what the exact name of the group is) If you want to see all the groups that have a given haplogroup as part of the identifier, put that in the search box or use HAPLOGROUP to find all kits that have a given haplogroup irrespective of a group match.

The results which are for YDNA only, are categorized by the haplogroup and then if there is a grouping . For example, all of the R-M269's are in one section. There is one grouping for kits that have no matches, then groupings where there is at least one kit that matches another kit.

SLOWER WAY TO SEE RESULTS. You should always use the search function at the top of the page, directly underneath the MARKERS box, as it will be quick to see either a specific kit # or the haplogroup or the group the kit is in without a possibly lengthy wait. If you wish to see all on one page, again, noting that it will be slower and not as efficient, you can change the PAGE SIZE at the top of the report to 6000 (because there's over 5000 people in the project) and press enter. That will display all the results on one big page, will take a bit to load. Then you can use your browser's FIND function to search for your kit #. -much better to do it whlle all the results on one big page instead of having to page through a number of pages where you might miss seeing your kit.

Because otherwise, you will see, at the bottom of each page, page numbering for however many pages you would need to go through to look for your kit. It is MUCH easier to put them all on one page and then use the FIND your browser software has to search for your kit.

On Chrome browser, you will see 3 little dots on the upper right hand corner. When you click the dots, about midway down the menu that comes up you will see FIND. Click THAT and you will then see a search box come up where you can enter your kit # and it will search the entire page the browser has up to find it.
