Glen,
When I got my first batch back from FTDNA, I had one that just didn't fit the other
patterns. I was certain they had messed up. I questioned the accuracy to Mr.
Greenspan, who checked and assured that it was right. Well, long story made short,
more conventional paper research, showed why the the test results were rightfully
different. What I thought was a mistake, lead to finding documentation that
identified a unique branch in our family reconstruction. Probably would have never
made the connection without the suspect results. The lab appearently right.
