I am still glad that we have done the test as there is now a sample at Ethnoancestry as well as FT DNA making it easier for me to request more tests in the future :) Having 100% British ancestry, I debated doing our initial testing at Oxford Ancestors but the National Genealogy Genographic Project was so fascinating and we just gradually became drawn into DNA study - gradually moving our results into FT DNA and then more testing. We would have saved money doing the entire testing at the first but it was certainly exciting working our way through it :) Yes, it does appear to be quite unusual - I thought by now we might have had one match but then none of our cousins have tested and these are 3rd cousins - descendants of my great great grandfather. I recently met a possible seventh cousin on line but I am not sure if he will test. That would be interesting actually as it goes back before I have two generations of only children. I still wonder if the
death of 1283 Blake servicemen in the first and second World Wars has decimated this family in England. Elizabeth

Right now there is nothing else within the P37.2+ division of "I". But
there is the chance that in the future both FTDNA and EA will offer
some new
SNPs within "I" that could be interesting, although from what I have
seen
from the underlying journal papers the new (already discovered) SNPs
would
be most promising for I1a and old I1c (new I1b2a) and upstream old I1*
(new
I1b*). But I try to keep my eyes on any new, promsing developments.
If your P41 test comes back negative the universe is orderly.
Actually,
your extended haplotype, although confidently I1b1-Isles, is quite
unusual
at a number of marker values.
