Hello List,
I believe/hope I've finished updating the project web pages with the most recent
changes in the Y-DNA haplotree. It appears the only ones in the project not
affected were the Turkish L2a CARACOs, who are still L2a.
The CARRICO's who descend or presumably descend from Peter CARRICO I, 1674
immigrant to Maryland, have changed from J2a2 to J2a4b. The CARRICO whose
grandfather emigrated from Portugal to Brazil has changed from J2a2a to J2a4b1.
The CARRICO with the NPE in his lineage has had his group "re-deduced" to a
lower level, that is, from R1b1b2 to R1b1b2a1b.
Because long strings of alphanumerics are hard to read, I made a suggestion on
the GENEALOGY-DNA mailing list that we use a separator to break the characters
into groups, in the same way that we break up strings of numbers with commas or
telephone numbers with hyphens. The consensus seems to be to set off the first
letter, then each four characters thereafter, using hyphens. Whether anyone
else adopts the change, I'm going to do so on my web pages because I find these
long subclade labels impossible to read or remember as uninterrupted strings.
Thus, the new subclades become:
J-2a4b
J-2a4b-1
R-1b1b-2a1b
I've tried to catch all the occurrences for the needed changes on my web pages,
but may have missed some. If you run across one, please let me know so I can
fix it.
Diana
