Hi Sandy, Well, to be honest, I am somewhat of an innocent bystander here, not knowing just what I am doing but I am trying to make the best of circumstances. The main point is that there are active researchers involved here, and apparently what they need is raw data. So, I am at FTDNA 111 STR markers, have done Deep Clade test and am now going to Big Y test. In other words, I have now hit the limits of what I can do.
