Gertrude Stein's bon mot has always puzzled me but never as much as the new
nomenclature where I find myself now wearing at least three and maybe more
hats: R1b1c10 (last year's) or the new season's, R1b1b2a2g (ISOGG), R1b1b2h
or even R1b-S28+

Now FT-DNA have given me a totally new wardrobe by revising my Haplogroup
from R1b1 to R1b1b2g or as it was in 2007, R1b1c9* and telling me I am M269+
P25+ U106+. I only discovered this when I was invited to join the new
R1b-U106/S21+ Research Group at FamilyTreeDNA, checked my page and found a
note telling me that my haplogroup had been updated to conform to the new
FTDNA brand of phylogenetic hat-rack.

True, a couple of years ago I tested positive at Ethnoancestry to M269 and
P25 but also to S28 and recently, to U152 (FTDNA) and S116. But this is the
first I have heard of being tested for U106....

I am currently awaiting what they call "Deep Clade tests" results from
FT-DNA - I need to know how I test on M160 and M126. If this new Haplogroup
assignment is the result of the "Deep Clade Test" of which I have not yet
been informed, then I am at a loss... How can I be one thing with
Ethnoancestry and another with FT-DNA, or more specifically, U152+ and U106+
with FTDNA?

I suspect a cock-up somewhere!
