And may I make an additional request to Grant and Patrick that if possible, to clarify the present thinking in connection with the relationship between G and I - I seem to recall some possibility of overlap (but there again I may be hallucinating).

I know that Grant South mentioned a while back that a lot of G's have been
found in the Irish Clans DNA project, run out of Trinity College in Ireland.
He said that 20% of men from Northern Ireland were G! It appears that
Patrick Guinness, a frequent visitor of this list, is in charge of this
project? Patrick, could you please comment on this issue? Is it true that
20% of men from Northern Ireland are from HgG? Grant attributed this high
percentage of G to "early Neolithic man in the 'isles'" that may have been
present even before the Celts arrived, can either Patrick or Grant comment
on the evidence? How do we know that it cannot be attributed to
Anglo-Saxons, another group of people thought to be comprised of men of HgG?
Myself, my haplotype suggests I am from HgG, and I have found a lot of close
matches to G's with Anglo-Saxon (and Norman) surnames.
