Dave & List,

I agree with you Dave. I was the one suggesting recently that if a research
fund was established, it might be considered using it for SNP research.
Support for EthnoAncestry, would clearly be a good way of assisting SNP
research.

John.

is going to happen slowly, if at all. I had been undecided about getting the
R1b test done (already tested P25+ by FTDNA), but the below comment
galvanized me into placing the order.

of interest to genetic genealogists - all they have to do is purchase a test
from us and they are meeting that goal. We hope that our funds from the
sale of tests could lead to important new information about halotypes, and
to the development of new Y-SNPs, and the emergence of other new Y
chromosome tests - plus accelerate the appearance of our "biogeographic
test" (i.e., autosomal test of percentage Native American etc.).
