Wonderful. I didn't think we needed a 37 marker test for the close knit South Carolina Coates related to Marmaduke until I read the article Charlotte forwarded stating that our R1B type was the most common 12 point type there was and that the only real way to differentiate that group was to have a 37 marker test. Looks like that was an understatement. Of the extended DNA we have from that group so far, Marmaduke only has the exact same DNA as the William Coate of Ohio and Indiana. The others have similarities but are probably related a further back in time.
