Bill,

If the R1b subclades are 2000-4000 years old it seems they won't be much
help in identifying where we came from in 1600 or 1500 and only tell us where
our DNA was 4000 years ago still a nice to know item but not a useful tool in
genealogy research for an immigrants location. What do you think about this
staement by John McEwan?
