Michael--

It of course is just as important to have results from many men
with the alternate Ragsdale haplotypes. Given enough DNA results of people
who can track their lines back, eventually we ought to be able to determine
where the nonpaternal event took place. It might be useful to post all the
lines for all people with results. You can start with grandfathers to
maintain anonymity. Do the people with the "gold standard" haplotypes go
consistently back to certain sons of Godfrey II? Do people with the
alternate haplotypes consistently go back to a particular son?
