Dear Didier,

You are quite right. A year ago I have found that from 107 haplotypes in
"Haplogroup A" section of YSearch, 69 belonged to R1b1b2. Those 69 coalesced
to the following base haplotype

13 24 14 11 11 14 12 12 12 3 13 29 -- 17 9 10 11 11 25 15 19 29 15 15 17
17 -- 11 11 19 23 16 15 18 17 36 38 12 12

Enough to make one dizzy. However, when I calculated that their common
ancestor lived 4050+/-450 years ago, reality came back.

Happy New Year.
