Hello Dan:
To repeat, until you are tested for M17+ you will never know for sure. As Bennett has noted, SRY10831.2 (who can remember this moniker?) negative means you are R1a. This is counter intuitive and I am in contact with a number of individuals who should have been R1a but they got the SRY10831.2 cold shoulder and now all of a sudden we have a "glut" of R1 individuals. I will not (you are free to do as you wish) accept these results as valid until the correct marker, M17 is employed. The reason why I refused to take the "haplogroup challenge" for my uncle is the unacceptable chance for error (false negative) using anything but M17. Considering that I own a company that could have an answer for me in a couple of hours, I will wait and gear up my own lab to have available complete panels of my choosing (we already have the primers in stock) for any and all haplogroups. None of this is rocket science so it shouldn't take long to be "primed" and ready to go.
