Charles

I have seen all the announcements. FTDNA isn't testing downstream of M269.

So I am not sure how the subclades based on SNPs not tested at FTDNA (e.g.
SRY2627, S21, S28) will be easily identifiable on the project pages.

Now that we are beginning to slice up the R1b pie, is one big project the
way forward? How many R1b customers does FTDNA have?
