Not that I need a detailed explanation, but what is WTY and what could WTY determine? If WTY indeed is relevant, then I would be glad to make a financial contribution. I don't think anyone else responded to this. WTY is an initiative by FTDNA to find new SNPs (Walk on the Y). I first heard of it several years ago and it has found a lot of new SNPs but none for the M222s tested to date. Ken Nordtvedt at the time didn't think any new SNPs would be found downstream of M222 since it was such a young clade by comparison with most others. After testing three Irish samples it's doubtful anything would be found in testing more. Scottish samples? Who knows? John
