I will write to FTDNA and see if they have anything up their sleeve for my
I1b1 tribe. I purchased a bunch of STRs from DNA-F and received more than I
had ordered! This may have been because Dr. Krahn wanted to leave a clean
house for his move to Houston. In any event, he gained my complete trust
and, needless to say, my appreciation. I transferred my DNA-F specimens to
FTDNA and am ready, willing and hopefully able to purchase anything they may
offer that will further my DNA goals. That goes for EA and others too.

Many thanks for your explanations of the commercial realities and
suggestions.

Wil
