Hello List,
As part of its "haplogroup assurance" policy, FamilyTreeDNA has given one of
our
members a gratis "backbone" SNP test, specifically, Member #88790, the CARRICO
whose grandfather, Joaquim Anastor CARRICO, was born in Portugal and emigrated
to Brazil. He is positive for mutation M172, which proves he is Haplogroup J2.
We had already deduced that he was J2, based on his haplotype, but it's always
good to have proof.

Based on his haplotype, he has been deduced to be J2a1b1 (=J2f1), but it has not
actually been proven, so this individual may want to consider deep SNP testing
to prove it.
