A brief question about this. What does it mean the closer ones sample is to the  modal example? I'm a 64/67 match with modal. Does this signify anything?

Based on my looks with in the project I've been looking at, I have a couple of groups that likely do not fit that scenario as the GD between them and the rest is excessive to 4000 years worth which could suggest a couple of other things; however, in regard to Paul's Byrnes, it very well could suggest a migration for reasons of safety...speculatively, and there by because they did survive to continue to reproduce they would evidence an older lineage.  Susan  R1b1c7 Research and Links: http://clanmaclochlainn.com/R1b1c7/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DNA-R1B1C7-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
