John would probably wish to explain himself, but as I understand, several
years ago he did a Ysearch of the various Clades, for instance, he did R1b
at 37 markers and found the haplotypes fell into 49 clusters which are his
R1bSTR1 - R1bSTR49.
Some have now been found to be associated with an SNP such as R1bSTR19 seems
to be M222+ and R1bSTR22 seems to be S21+.
Others seem to have geographic connotations but no SNP yet eg R1bSTR47
Scots.
My guess is that most clusters are old enough that movement over the
centuries will no allow the pin-pointing that you are looking for.

Thank you, Dennis--your explanation is just fine, and although I'm sorry to
think so, you are probably right that identifying a subgroup won't help
anyone find the county of origin in England--especially R1b's.

My family's I1a subgroup does appear to be small and confined to England, so
perhaps something can be done there, but I won't bet on that either..
