Thanks for this thought Georgia. I (R1b1c) have mine open at 25 or above and
have never bothered to check any of the non surname matches (nor has anyone
contacted me) except recently when this came up on the Newbie list. I then
checked with my 37/34 match and we agreed no possibility of a NPE after
about 1650. But I've never thought to take a look at how some of the less
common Hg in the project are set.
