Iain, That is generally good advice. As I was the first M222 person tested with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) - from Full Genomes - a few of my so called "Private" SNP's have shown to be much more common already, or in other words gone Public, such as: 1. FGC449 - shared with Aidan Byrne, who is S603, and a high GD from me - this SNP is probably located near S7073 2. FGC451 = S568 3. FGC453 = S566 So, IMO, all the early testers have a high chance of having some tentatively "Private" SNPs found in their results which turns out to be more widespread, or Public. It's been estimated that a new SNP occurs every 90 years or about 3 generations - based on a 32/33 year generation, per latest research. So for example, if you are in a cluster that has a TMRCA of 350 years, you would expect to have 350/90 new SNPs since the MRCA - or about 4 SNPs. If your results come back with 15, 20 or 25 Private SNPs, it's fair to say that many of these will turn out to be Public and not Private.
