Hi Kirsten and Elizabeth,

I did have a look at this back in January. I don't know that it proved too much.

What you are proposing to do sounds reasonable to me, and I think that Dennis Wright may have attemped something similar recently. I
think you could go to Ken Nordtvedt's site and use his Generations 5 program. I wouldn't use modal haplotypes, because then you
wouldn't be using the current diversity of the clusters to figure the age. Surely someone who knows more about this than I do could
say more.

I've received no response to my note below, which I gather means no one
thinks my idea is a good one. Can someone perhaps explain the folly of my
approach and suggest some other way to investigate the concept?

Thank you.

Elizabeth

Has anyone compared any of the recognized Irish clades - NWI, South Irish,
Type III, to see how long ago they would have had a common ancestor? ? I
know these three are not the only ones, but they may be the largest.
