Wil:

We have a great many irons in the fire and who knows what will emerge that may be just what you need. Sometimes opportunities arise and Dr. Wilson is very quick to capitalize on anything that looks informative irrespective of haplogroup.

I believe that FTDNA via their new Houston lab and Thomas Krahn will be offering boutique services and so if I may suggest that you contact them and inquire as to whether their plans for 2007 are likely to include efforts that will offer assistance for your particular needs (in a sense your question will act as a stand in for many others out there). As a matter of fact, I know Thomas to be a very open and helpful. I assume the new role at FT this will not fetter him in any way but will instead permit him to explore avenues to offer an array of new services to customers. He does excellent work - when he was Principal of DNA-F he tested my 13 (26) CODIS markers and other autosomal and Y-STR work. I must admit that I am curious, but since I have gone on record outlining where we are headed in 2007, perhaps he would also give some hints as to what we might expect from the new facility.

Might your British Isles and possible Austrian offices generate enough I1b1b
business to create a "critical mass"? I realize that M26 isn't a large group
compared to R1 and I1a, but there are quite a few of us in England, the
Americas and the northern Mediterranean area. As more European men test, I
suspect that a lot more M26s will show up (he said optimistically!).
