Hello List,
We have first results (Markers 1-25) returned for Member #119235, the descendant
of Joseph CARACO of Bursa, Turkey, who now lives in France. As anticipated, he
is a match with the other CARACO who has an origin in Bursa (#94500), but now
lives in the United States -- though only a 22/25 match. We'll have a better
idea how closely they match when Markers 26-37 return.

You may recall that #94500 was originally designated L2b. The most recent
release (4 May 2008) of the ISOGG (International Society of Genetic
Genealogists) Y-DNA haplotree switched the positions of two mutations in the
hierarchy, thus switching the positions of L2b and L2a, so these members are now
L2a, not L2b.
I recommend uploading results to Ysearch and joining the Haplogroup-L project.
