David:

I checked at Ysearch.org for C3 and found the Stout name, which is
German. There are Stout's here in my PA Deutsch area. Can't tell by
Ysearch if he was SNP tested but someone on this List said he was. Most
other names are non-European in origin. Here is the link.
http://www.ysearch.org/haplosearch_results.asp?uid=&haplo=C3&region=&submit=Search

If by chance my Hunsicker testee comes out C3 or Q or something other
than R1b, R1a, or I, then I will order a battery of SNP tests from you
to drill down into it.

Best regards.

If C3 is detected, and if found in unrelated families in a circumscribed area of Germany, this would be a dramatic finding and well worth a search by academics for further evidence. But first, who has been tested for M217 or P44?
