Daryl, Have you uploaded your results to Y-Search, if so can you supply a Y-Search ID, to look at your results online. That's a great way to find other matches. Please note also, that none other than Famous African-American, Henry Louis Gates Jr, is also R-L21 M222+ - same as you. So it is not unknown for African-Americans to have paternal lineages going back to Ireland or Scotland. Also, Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism also was R-L21 M222+, like you, based on a recent study of his male line descendants. Cheers, Paul On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 1:54 PM, Daryl W.
