Hi all, I have been talking to someone admingin kit 317948 , I have a match with a Mr. Richard McLaughlin. The kit is being administered by his sister, as she is the genealogist. She stated that she might not be able to get another sample from him, but she has done a 37 step test at FTDNA, and wanting to know what would be the best options to move forward. I think doing testing on the current FTDNA sample would be the best. Should she go to 111 steps, should she get specific SNP tests? Her brother is M222+ and two steps from me at 25. Here comment on her paper trail is: "My McLaughlin’s – as far back as I have been able to trace (early 1800’s) came from the Carncastle (Larne) area of Co. Antrim." Any suggestions on what she could do going forward? John
Progress is going to be limited if she can't test all the latest NGS SNPs at yseq but if that is the only route I would start with S659 or DF105 as they are calling it and take it from there.
