Some time ago I ran across what appears to be a small cluster within M222, composed mainly of Duncans and Ashleys but including a few other surnames (Cole, McKinney,Hunter, Caughorn, McAninch, Akens, Jantzen, Urban, Taylor, Lawson, Mann, O'Neill). You can see the samples at this link: _http://clanmaclochlainn.com/R1b1c7/Duncan.xls_ (http://clanmaclochlainn.com/R1b1c7/Duncan.xls) This group has at least six shared off modal markers in 37. There are only a few territorial designations in this group. Four Duncans say they are from Scotland, one from Muirdrum. The Ashley samples all say from England; Cole says Ireland. One of the McAninish samples (one from Sorenson) states an origin in Antrim, northern Ireland. According to MacLysaght, McAninch is a variant of the Scottish surname MacInnes. The Jantzen sample lists Duncan as a variant spelling. This is probably a Duncan sample. Likewise the Urban samples also says Duncan. I used what some call a short form search on Ysearch - others call it a skeleton search. It's what Ken Nordvedt uses in locating his modals on Ysearch (that's where I learned the technique - you can see a lot of similar modal searches saved by others in Ysearch). Basically you just use enough markers to make sure the results are confined to the right haplogroup then add the off modal markers in the sample to be compared. In the above search I used 10 markers and 13-25-14-11, 385=11-12, 439=11,389-1=12,392=14,389-2=28, Allow a genetic distance of 0 or 1. Set the markers to 10. In doing this I got a few matches, especially at GD= 1 that did not really match. In this case a similar search using Ysearch returned approximately the same samples. In others it helped isolate the specific markers I was looking for. I know nothing about this cluster or why the surnames match as they do. I just thought I'd throw it out in case someone didn't already know this technique. John
