Rebekah,

In checking out that group what am I looking for? These have genetic
distances ranging from 9 to 15 from my DY8VJ. The closest, X4JS4, has 6
mismatches on slow markers.

What would be the rational for removing all multi copy markers, etc.?

Eric

23 by eliminating the 14 fastest markers (as noise?) which are presented
in red at FTDNA. Running this core 23 marker set through ySearch yielded
zero matches closer than at a genetic distance of 3/23, and only 6 of
those, scattered across Europe in England, Germany, Norway, Spain and
Poland. I conclude that I am not even remotely related to anyone in the
ySearch database.

Recruiting cousins and uncles would generate matches of course, but they
would be useless matches for this purpose. The haplotype has been
confirmed with the finding of the accidental cousin from Genographic. By
accidental I mean he tested independently but was already in the known
family tree.
