Paul, I, too, have been considering the WTY, but I also understood that no knew tests would be programmed for some time - next year perhaps. I thought that only one test had been done, however I see that the WTY site has been amended to state three tests complete. But on the face of it, all those names are very "Irish". I think we have a case for a "Scots" descendant to undergo the test as well, if only to see whether those with distinctive off-modal characteristics also carry a family SNP.

Apparently, no such luck. I asked David Reynolds if it would help for me to take the WTY test. David replied that only one M222 has been tested, but the young age of M222 may mean no additional SNP. He suggested I wait until the current backlog of WTY orders is run through, and after 2-3 months he will look at this again. > I then queried Kirsten Saxe, and she replied that the Finch2 data indicates that three M222 have been tested--137003 (Mannion), 17624, and 192014. Kirsten did not have names for the latter two, but I found 192014 (McNeely) on the M222 project list. I could not identify 17624. > Can anyone confirm that three M222s have been WTY tested with no new SNPs discovered? If only one has been tested, I am willing to hazard the $750 cost, but if three have been tested with no additional info discovered, perhaps I should wait for a future increase in the size of the test. > Paul > 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 > > > ----- > No virus found in this message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 10.0.1410 / Virus Database: 1522/3943 - Release Date: 10/07/11 > >
