Dear Patricia

I did a quick comparison of M8PSX against the various R1b "clusters" I
describe at www.geocities.com/mcewanjc/ With only 25 markers can't make
a lot of statements other than:
* almost certainly R1b (as FTDNA suggest) 7 mismatches against R1b modal
versus 16 against R1a modal.
* unlikely to be R1bSTR19Irish (this is the same as David Wilson's Irish
defined group) with 10 mismatches
* Based on only 25 markers I cannot suggest with any degree of
reliability what cluster you are part of.
* Based on surname matches may be of English or Welsh ancestry.

Hope this helps

John McEwan

Hi, I just recently rejoined the list after several months away. I was
wondering if there is anything new to help me to understand a relative's
results.

I do belong to the surname group but he doesn't have any matches there.
I
did look through the list archives but wasn't really sure what to search
for.

I did notice some discussion on the possibility of certain markers
representing a group such as the Irish.

I would appreciate any insight as to his results as he doesn't have any
25
marker matches at FTDNA.

You can locate his results at Ysearch - M8PSX

Thanks,

Patricia
