Diana, Did you mean the S-series clades other than S21+ are rare? Given
the presence of the "Irish mafia" (joke, joke, joke!) which runs genetic
genealogy, I'd say that the northwest Irish R1b variety, perhaps close to
one and the same as M222+, is not rare within the hobby. OK, now I've done
it.....

Come to think of it, is not S25+ turning out to be close to universally
present in tested R1b from Europe?
