Eric and others,
I should have mentioned Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor as a third way I had checked
my cousin's haplogroup. Thanks for
mentioning that.
I serve as contact person for a 98 year old cousin who still walks a mile every day but
has no computer skills.

: Lura and List,
:
: You can confirm your red FTDNA R1b with Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor.
:
https://home.comcast.net/~whitathey/predictorinstr.htm
: I don't think it has ever been wrong.
:
: Presently Haplogroup R1b is being further sub-divided into multiple
: sub-clades by all these new SNP tests at FTDNA and elsewhere. These Deep
: Clade SNP tests are not to help establish your R1b1, but go well beyond
: that to sub-sub clades such as R1b1c7, etc. It is thought or hoped these
: might be related to specific geographical areas, such as an Irish County.
: It will not help you with your genealogies however... Neither will buying
: additional markers. Your basic 37 marker set of allele values should be
: sufficient for genealogy, except in the most extreme cases where you have
: too many matches.
:
: Participating in Deep Clade Testing, AND POSTING RESULTS AT YSEARCH or
: elsewhere, will help science with ancient population migrations studies,
: and is therefore important. Not to shout, but I still see that only 10 of
: the 30 Y-DNA Carroll Surname Project participants have even bothered to
: make their basic Carroll lineages known in the appropriate place,
: maintained by Kevin Carroll at
:
http://www.childtalk.com/History/carrollfamilydna.html. 20 only will say
: "private". This behavior only defeats the purpose of the project. ALL
: Y-DNA test results, even if only for 12 markers, should be posted at
: YSearch as a minimum. YSearch is a public database maintained by FTDNA for
: just this purpose. That purpose is connecting.
:
: The privacy of living individuals must be protected of course, and no
: matter what lineage you submit to YSearch, any personal information on
: people born after1900 will be automaticly excluded and labeled "private".
: It is the ancestors who are important. You can upload your Carroll
: lineages to YSearch with the push of a button from your member's page at
: FTDNA.
