Dear Chris,

I believe that I found your haplotype on Y-Search, and it appears that you
are almost certainly an R1b, though a somewhat unusual one. If you'd like
to know that you have company of a sort, My cluster of Athey haplotypes is
at a distance of 12 on 25 markers from the nearest other haplotype in the
public databases. Being in R1b, you should consider yourself lucky that you
have an unusual haplotype. That makes matches more meaningful. My
grandson's R1b haplotype has over 200 12/12 matches with persons of
different surnames--a match means almost nothing, at least on 12 markers.

In your Y-Search listing, you have only two values for DYS464 listed--did
you omit the other two inadvertently, or did your test return only two
values?

Whit

Am I unique? I just have had my markers upgraded to 41 markers. The most
recent connection to me are three individuals who match on 33 out of 41
markers. Doesn't even register on the MRCA Chart. Begiining to feel quite
unique!

Cheers,
Chris
