Anne...

We discussed this earlier and a list member noted that
if we found a match at 37 markers they would necessarily
be in the same sub-clade

Your Birnbach-Webb example demonstrates the importance of SNP testing
to identify the sub-clade even with close 37 marker matches.

at 37 markers or more, I do not ever dismiss a non-surname match. BUT I
would also say that I would recommend deep SNP testing. Again, I would
call
attention to the 34/37 then 44/48 match between BIRNBACH and WEBB. Turned
out to
be in different sub-clades of R1b.
